This article has been doing the rounds on my Facebook feed the past week or so, and I dunno it just strikes me as "women stop what you're doing and focus on boys". A lot of the examples would be better focussed as gender stereotype criticism rather than calling it feminist.

Yes, it would be horrible for him to grow up challenging the world and having fun whilst doing it. Must keep his mind numb and his feet in time with the beat of the drum"

Do you really think that a feminist man doesn't have to challenge the world or march to a different drum beat than most of his peers?

There really should be an MRA litmus test on here before they are allowed to post. It would weed out all these teenagers/embittered incels.

This one has already had one ridiculous thread deleted by MNHQ.

I wouldn't mind if they ever had anything original to say. It's tedious.

How bout you keep your ideology to yourself until he's old enough to make up his own mind about things?

How's he going to make up his own mind about anything if his parents haven't taught him anything ?

The main aim for me behind raising a feminist son is so that he doesn't grow up like our new little troll friend here. I really would feel I'd failed hard at parenting if that happened.

Yeah, that'd be quite depressing.

I wouldn't blame you, peer groups are a huge influence. But it'd be horrible to have such a misogynist sit around in your home, or later on having to invite him to family gatherings.
