The ideology of feminism is not bad, but in practice, especially third wave feminism is destructive and evil, to even put it mildly.

Modern feminism undermines the inate differences between sexes, is built on double standards, a safe haven for misandrist and even if women preach for gender equality, they still refuse to give up benefits that comes with patriarchy.

For example, corporations favours employing women to men, and this is the first time in human history where society see a massive shift of women out earning men. Even at that, they still expect men to pay for date. Just to name one.

ITS GOT A MILLION AND ONE DEFINITIONS, THIS TRUTH WE CANNOT DENY AND WHICH IS ENOUGH CONFUSSION IN ITSELF.

Following many posts I've seen here on Nairaland, it seems like people, especially men hate the idea of women identifying with feminists. Based on the stereotype that many have created from the women who claim to be feminists, the definition has changed to a men-hating, men-defying movement.

Feminism is simple. The concept is simple. Like every belief, people tend to create a version that suits them.

epelumi42:


True. The issue of double standards remain. Manny Women want equal rights yet do not want to pay the price that comes with gender equality. No. I can't support that.

People are just people, removed from the shadows of the beliefs they hide behind. My problem is grouping all feminists under the same category of men haters.

JONNYSPUTE:
.. They are grouped that way because many of them seem to possess and act same. So you don't really need to blame men for that.

CAPSLOCKED:



THIS IS THE SUMMARY OF ALL WHAT YOU POSTED UP THERE.

BUT HOW DO YOU EXPECT MEN TO EASILY ACCEPT FEMINISM WHEN MANY WOMEN THEMSELVES ARE REJECTING IT? MOST WOMEN DON'T CARE ABOUT ANYTHING YOU'RE TELLING THEM ONCE IT INVOLVES EQUALITY... EQUAL RESPONSIBILITIES, PAYING BILLS, AND DOING WHAT USED TO BE CONSIDERED THE MAN'S JOB.
MANY WOMEN REJECT THE IDEA OF FEMINISM BECAUSE IT COMES WITH RESPONSIBILITIES.. AND THEY CAN'T IMAGINE THEMSELVES ACTUALLY BEING RESPONSIBLE FOR THINGS, THEY WANT TO FOR EVER REMAIN A MAN'S RESPONSIBILITY LIKE PETS.

SO FOR A START
FOR FEMINISM TO BE EMBRACED BY ALL, AND START MAKING SENSE TO THE REGULAR AFRICAN MAN.... EVERY WOMAN SHOULD BE A FEMINIST.

According to Wikipedia, Feminism is a range of political movements, ideologies, and social movements that share a common goal: to define, establish, and achieve political, economic, personal, and social equality of sexes. This includes seeking to establish educational and professional opportunities for women that are equal to those for men.

Following many posts I've seen here on Nairaland, it seems like people, especially men hate the idea of women identifying with feminists. Based on the stereotype that many have created from the women who claim to be feminists, the definition has changed to a men-hating, men-defying movement.

Feminism does not mean that men should be hated for playing the superiority game, it means that men should learn to see women as equals and not subjects.

Feminism means that husbands and boyfriends should not judge a woman by her ability to cook and perform home chores. No. That's sexism. Feminism means women is just as a man, maybe not in physical features. If a man does not know how to cook, a woman shouldn't be crucified for not knowing how to cook too. If a man cannot wash his clothes, his wife should not be expected to wash it just because she's the woman. No.

Feminism means that women should be allowed to take the reigns of power because they are capable, and not denied based on their sex. They should be given an opportunity to compete with men for the same position and win based on merit, like everyone else.

Feminism does not mean women should not respect men, rather, men should respect women and vice versa because they deserve the respect, not because of their sex. Women should not be made to kneel to the man because he's Superior. No. She should be able to do it because she feels it's right. The same way a man should bow for his wife. No one runs the Monopoly of respect.

Feminism does not mean men should stop catering for women. It means both sexes should cater for each other of they have the means. It should be done out of love than chauvinism. Women can provide for the man when he is incapable and not expect the man to always be responsible for her wellbeing.

Feminism means that women can be surgeons, engineers, and men can be nurses and secretary. No job stereotypes.

Feminism is right because no one chose their sexes. Males and females have their strength and weaknesses and should learn to live with each other in love.

why are you in a very high spirit today?

Eyeness:
there is a male version of feminism called MGTOW look it up

WORDWORLD:
It's a fight for POWER, not for UNITY and LOVE between the genders. It's as "simple" as that. POWER TO OPPRESS!

epelumi42:

That is no where near what Feminism stands for. Again, you're building a stereotype based on the men hating group of people you see online.

michaelandre:
I don't think feminism is bad . because am 100% in support of equal opportunities for men and women. but where I have issues with them is the area of marriage. I think women should be women and stop trying to be the man in a relationship. I think women have many powers they don't know about
