How Feminism Hurts Men

[davidn3600]

54. Let me tell you why you are missing the point...

Does the National Organization for Women fight for gender equality? They claim they do, but they don't always. Their focus is always women's rights, but that sometimes doesn't fully apply to equality.

An example is how the Pentagon recently opened practically all military positions to women. Feminists have been fighting for that for a long time. Yet, do we see these feminists demanding that women be forced to register for the Selective Service the way men are legally forced to? Heck no, and you won't. It is a gender inequality that feminists will ignore because it benefits women.
Even Congressman Rangel made light of this earlier this year.

Another example is the justice system where study after study shows that women tend to get more lenient sentencing for the same crimes as men even when you take into account past criminal history. Studies also show women are more likely to have a lower bail set and more likely to have their charges dropped or receive more favorable plea deals. There is also a push by feminists to change conditions for women in prison and have a "softer approach." Again, this shows how feminists advocate for women without a care of whether this puts men in an inequality.

I can talk about many other places too if you want (ie: education, mental health, obamacare, etc..)... the fact is that feminists favor women's issues even if it leads to gender inequality in a different way. That's why I say feminists don't care about men. Feminists operate under the assumption that men already have it made and in full control of society under the patriarchy and require no assistance. But the reality is far more complicated than that. There is no secret meeting of the patriarchy. There is no man or group of men in control of it.
