Do women openly negate and demean men?

What's your experiences whether in the workplace, on TV or at home? Is feminism in danger of not being treated seriously because those with negative experiences of men feel the need to openly trash men. Do women or men trash the opposite sex more?

Why exactly are we meant to care about what men think when it comes to feminism? It's not like men (as a whole) were ever in our side when we were being nice and polite and submissive to them was it?

I don't think I've ever heard a man worry about what women will think about men, if they keep raping, oppressing and murdering us.

Margaret Atwood observed in her 1982 lecture "Writing the Male Character":

"Why do men feel threatened by women? ... They're afraid women will laugh at them... Why do women feel threatened by men? They're afraid of being killed".

Do you mean how women (don't) make father-in-law jokes, or how women (don't) make jokes about how bad men are at parking cars? Or do you mean when women (don't) refer to their partners as "him indoors"?

Or do you mean how women (don't) expect men to make the tea instead of making important business or policy decisions?

I don't really get this comment.

I've found women to generally be much more snarky/mean than men which is likely why the majority of women would rather have a male boss when surveyed. And regarding business decisions and making tea, women my age tend to outearn men so can't be making too many cuppas unless they're making them in the office.

Although to be fair the majority of people from both sexes that I encounter in real life are decent people.

Zombie spam, to boot.

Can't resist mentioning, though, that I have a tendency to refer to XH as "him no longer indoors".

Most women don’t but this section of MN is full of anti male bigotry and misandry. The nasty misandry is why so many people regard feminism as toxic and don’t identify with it.

Oh, do fuck off, there's a love.

And for info... we don't want equality, we want liberation. Hope that clarifies feminism to the zombies.

OK, who turned on the MRA bat signal?

I'm fine with anti-feminists not wanting to participate in feminism. Seems like a natural filtering process really, and saves the rest of us from having to deal with their whataboutery as often.

Women "Man bashing" consists of men being moaned about online.

Men "women bashing" means 1 in 4 women suffer DV, 2 women are murdered a week and 1 in 5 are sexually assaulted.

I know which one I'd rather put a stop to
