Hello all, man here! am i welcome to talk and learn a bit about stuff ?

[PleaseCustomizeCharacter]

Ive done a little browsing in the feminism section and i admit its intriguing, please forgive my ignorance as i dont know alot about this all.

I just want to start by saying i was raised to respect everyone and i truly do, my view on equality is simply if some one, man or woman is good enough to do the specific job they aspire for then they have every right to get said job/goal, again if this is slight ignorance forgive me, i post this topic because i would like to learn and be less ignorant, love me some knowledge.. :)

So i suppose my question is broad and depends on the individual person's view, but what is the over reaching/ultimate goal of feminism ? or what does it mean to you personally ? and please, dont think im trolling or anything i genuinely want to learn a thing or two, thanks :)

AssassinatedBeauty i can understand the scepticism, a few people said you get new posters like me that like anger you all and repost it elsewhere. i clearly started off wrong in my first comment to, and it was unintended as well as extra little things that im seeing while looking through old posts, i accept it, a little shocked as i wasnt expecting some posts but like im not bothered or anything if you get me.

Wow aggressive much.

That is correct. Do you view that as a character flaw in women?
This is FWR where women act like people.

Again abused wrong term....its obviously been taken incorrectly. I meant hes been bollocked when technically probably didn't need to be

We know what the word abused means. It was taken as stated.

He's been mildly admonished and given some useful suggestions about where to start in his quest to understand feminism. You think that's a bollocking? Ok.

Aggression is in my opinion a character flaw regardless of sex. But that's just my thoughts. Aggression aimed at any other person is unneeded.

Op there are a good number of men on mumsnet so don't worry about that.

I'd say just jump in and read as much as you can. Browse older posts on this board - there are so many topics covered by some very clever women. Just read read read. You'll be a better person for it.

The biggest feminist issues for me personally, beyond us facing erasure legally, is violence against women, rape conviction rates, fgm and domestic abuse generally. Another woman might have a completely different list. There are lots of things to tackle, sadly

You effing accused the women here of abuse.
Look up DARVO and apply the lesson to your behavior on this thread.

Dear me...

gendercritter it almost seems like it could be a never ending battle, i mean whos to say in a year or twos time something different/new pops up that pushes it back a bit again.. ?

Bloody hell

thebewilderness is actually effing!!!!

Um errrrr, what did you do OP?

Rufustheyawningreindeer whatever it was was an accident and i didnt want it to turn this way

Wow.....seriously. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say a couple of you ladies are pretty ruthless. Just a query...do you have partners? I am all for equal rights and feminism however i think some women genuinley dislike men on the whole. All he did was ask for advice.

I think the effing was directed at another poster

Jesus Christ almighty abuse as in you were being quite rude to someone who didn't deserve it. I've been in a volatile relationship so don't need to read any information online thanks. Quite frankly some of you are frigging rude and intolerant .

I dislike people who are entitled and demanding and thoughtless.

Your question is based in misogyny, @MissReginaPhilange. It is essentially calling women man-haters for not being nice enough in your opinion.

And it's worth repeating again, this poster has been mildly admonished for his entitled behaviour and been given some useful advice.

@MissReginaPhilange agree

don't understand this feminism stuff anyway. Be a human and happy stop trying to over power other people because you think you deserve it.
Everyone's the same and genders act differently due to hormones or upbringings etc

To me if anyone wants to better themselves or educate themselves and I can help along the way im always happy to oblige.

@MissReginaPhilange I must have missed the post where you took time out of your day to answer the OP's question and educate him.

Agree with @OlennasWimple it is a bad time at the moment.

OP what made you think of Mumsnet for your questions?

Sorry Rufus. I got a little testy with a person upthread who said were were abusing the poor man and then had the effing nerve to call the angry response they got "aggressive".

I know better than to take the bait and yet there it is just laying there beckoning to me. I shall resist.

Op run while you can I know I am. Apparantly opinions aren't welcome unless you hate men and think that they should all burn in hell

@MissReginaPhilange hahahah !! 😂😂😂

Now, if you don't think women should be aggressive and intolerant @MissReginaPhilange, you are not taking your own advice.

Finally lolli18 someone who's just a happy soul....was beginning to loose faith

Do you know what Feminism is, and are you aware of where you are?
