disgusting

They can shut down as many public spaces as they want to - they will never be female and we will never accept them as such.

"In The Demise of Guys, Professor Zimbardo argues that young men are struggling: emasculated by dominant women and infantilized by parents whom they continue to live with, young men are eschewing work, marriage and responsibility in favor of porn, video games and online friendships. The bleak picture that Zimbardo paints is attributed to changing social structures and “the dramatic rise of gals.” Masculinity, it seems, is in crisis. Again."

GOD, IT MUST BE SO HARD FOR YOU. See: Zimbardo’s The Demise of Guys

I hate this kind of bullshit. You see, women are never in crisis. Things just happen and it is expected we adjust to the new situation. But when it comes to men? Boy, cannot inconvenience them even a little bit! I think it is time that men started to rely on themselves a bit more - it would decrease their need to dominate and control others as the basis of their identity. If they should not be willing… Well, women are not going to give up their power so you better learn to DEAL.

Because it’s one or the other of course.

Really it sounds like you hate both.

Why don’t you cry some more. I don’t…

There’s a huge difference between “that particular man is a sexist douchebag, I hate him” and “all men are sexist douchebags, I hate men.”

The former is completely reasonable. It’s a sad fact of life that you will encounter assholes that make you want to gnaw your own hand off on a daily basis. The other makes you look sexist and unreasonable.

It’s not unreasonable if the alternative is self-hatred and a denial of the reality of male supremacy. If a man rapes a woman and 50 men stand around and do nothing would misandry still be “unreasonable”? If I am raped by a man and I discover that the only people who are willing to help me are women is misandry still “unreasonable”?

Why don’t you cry some more. I don’t think your whiny victim complex is loud enough.

(via feministsaresexist)

I think the person who has a victim complex here is you and your ilk. Hate is a very active emotion and not comparable to whining. Some women hate men, get over it! Pointless pearl-clutching on tumblr really does show how helpless you are, how absolutely impossible it is for you to stop any of these emotions from happening or being articulated. And of course, this all very very irrational to you because fundamentally lacking in empathy while being full of ignorance you are not able to actually rationally think about why emotions you do not understand exist.

PS: Expressions of hatred are not necessarily sexist. There is a difference between hating men because of presumed inherent characteristics (sexism) and experiences and observed action (rational behavior). And of course, there is also a difference between thinking and doing. However, the accusation of sexism is very handy in shutting down any kind of discussion, especially that which would make you feel very uncomfortable, n’est-ce pas?

I have a victim complex? Please explain that to me. I’d really like to hear how that is at all possible, especially if you’ve done any actual research into my blog rather than making assumptions of my gender. Her statements don’t make me uncomfortable at all, seeing as I’m not on the receiving end of them, they make me pity her and how pathetic she is.

Someone with the tumblr name feministsaresexist does have a victim complex because the vast majority of feminists are not sexist according to its dictionary definition. To therefore believe the opposite is either an indication for having constructed an enemy of out nothing to have something to complain about or it’s an indication of having a woefully small understanding of what feminism is. So you are either ignorant or have a (vicarious) victim complex. However, I actually do not think that the OP has a victim complex - quite the opposite: she refuses to be a victim of self-hate although she feels under pressure to eventually end up self-hating. Which makes your interpretation of her words even stranger. I mean who has a tumblr named feministsaresexist? Who ends up complaining about feminists being “sexist”? Who ends up blaming other people?

I’m aware of how active hate is. I actually don’t think OP hates men. I think OP hates herself and takes it out on men, which is very comparable to whining, insecurity, and a victim complex.

Taking self-hate out of context does make for very comfortable accusations with no basis whatsoever. There is pressure on women to hate themselves over hating men in the form of victim-blaming or other condescending attitudes towards discrimination.

I’m not rational? Hating an entire groups people for the actions of a few simply because they have the same genitals is irrational and warrants therapy. You wouldn’t know rationality if it hit you in the face.

Come on. You entire response to the quote I reblogged didn’t actually contain any arguments. What it did contain were unbased accusations and a lack of empathy. It is indeed rational to judge all members of a group who you either have experienced to be damaging to you or who you have observed to be damaging to people who share your characteristics. It’s learning by association. Women learn. Sometimes they learn something which you do not want them to learn. Deal with it. To hate all members of a group is cognitively impossible anyway. What is commonly describes as hate is a deep dislike based on either unfounded or justified prejudices - most people always have exceptions: “I hate feminists, except the ones I personally happen to like who coincidentally share all of my opinions.”

I didn’t tell OP not to be cautious of men, especially if she’s been given reason to be. Hatred is not the same as caution, and to hate a group of either gender is sexism. Maybe you should educate yourself on simple definitions before going off on an incoherent ad hominem in defense of a girl that clearly needs to find some self-respect and stop hating other people for her problems.

No, hatred is not sexism. Look it up in a dictionary. My dictionary says sexism is the belief in inherent differences between the vast majority of women and men - you do not even have to be convinced that all women and men are different because exceptions are held to prove the rule.

Hatred of others might be an outcome of self-respect so be careful what you wish for. Problems might actually be externally imposed and not internally created.

I am so amused by the fact that I am told to look up simple definitions. GUESS WHAT I JUST DID. Look, I do not care what sex you, I truly do not give a fuck if you are a mermaid or a purple-striped zebra. But I find it hilarious that your definition of sexism is so very obviously false. Rename yourself to feministshatemen. Do not trick people with that silly feministsaresexist because everyone knows what a dog whistle is except perhaps some of your more gullible followers.

"And, this great means of influence over the minds of women having been acquired, an instinct of selfishness made men avail themselves of it to the utmost as a means of holding women in subjection, by representing to them meekness, submissiveness, and resignation of all individual will into the hands of a man, as an essential part of sexual attractiveness. Can it be doubted that any of the other yokes which mankind have succeeded in breaking, would have subsisted till now if the same means had existed, and had been so sedulously used, to bow down their minds to it? If it had been made the object of the life of every young plebeian to find personal favour in the eyes of some patrician, of every young serf with some seigneur; if domestication with him, and a share of his personal affections, had been held out as the prize which they all should look out for… would not serfs and seigneurs, plebeians and patricians, have been as broadly distinguished at this day as men and women are? and would not all but a thinker here and there, have believed the distinction to be a fundamental and unalterable fact in human nature?"
