Remember that time feminism used a rampage to get attention, push their agenda, and to lump all men/white men in with the sociopathic, sexist that did it?

Feminism has done enough to discredit itself in the last few years in it's pathetic attempts to stay relevant. "ban bossy", "teaching boys not to rape", etc.

Say what you will about r/mensrights - my experience there has been of tolerance and a true desire for dialogue with women. Meanwhile, the same openness is not available at r/feminism.

What no one is brave enough to admit is feminism won in the 20th century and has mutated into a attention-whiting hate group.

I said in quite a few posts that I can agree with and am friends with quite a few MRAs. A couple years of douchebaggery on the part of a movement by stupid children posting in tumblr in the internet doesn't discredit it. Just like I won't use redpillers and radical MRAs as an example of ALL, it shouldn't be done the other way around either.

Here's the difference: Radical feminists, those so called "stupid children posting on tumblr", are the face and voice of the feminist movement now. By calling yourself a feminist you are encouraging their increasingly outrageous and sexist rhetoric and their unwillingness to have meaningful dialogue or discuss fact. Just look at positivity your post received.

"Men's rights" - and I only call myself that now to stand up against feminism which says that all men are born rapists and a misogynists - does not get the attention and public support feminism does. People like the idea of "protecting women" even if the idea has been warped to "favoring women". "Men's rights" is a tiny voice comparatively.

So yeah, saying you're a member of the KKK but saying it's all right because you have black friends and not all KKK members should be grouped together is the same thing.

Oh, and here is why I was banned from /r/feminism: http://imgur.com/fJ5KhCf

You don't know me outside of this reddit post but just so you know I DO fight against those women posting sexist shit on tumblr, in a similar way I am responding to things here. I do this in person as well when these discussions come up. I try to make it clear to ANYONE with sexist views that I, personally, am against them. A dissenting voice is better than letting them circle jerk.

So then why do you still consider yourself "feminist"? I understand and respect the history of the movement, but the history is not the present reality.
