[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]14:05, if your working definition of feminism is misandry, you haven't been paying attention.  Or, more likely, you are cherry-picking extreme examples of women who have extreme views and using them to reinforce your pre-existign notion that emasculation of all men is a fundamental precept of feminism.

But seriously, those of you who are anti-feminist, what is your objection to fundamental fairness?  [/quote]

A textbook I was reading in gender studies class on feminism actually spoke to the negatives of masculinity and the need to reduce that. Masculinity is a negative in feminism. To me feminism does not equal fundamental fairness. I don't see much fairness in it at all. Fairness to me means working to advantage both men and women - not just women and particularly not women at men's expense. I don't see any feminist caring that men are murdered more, commit suicide more, are expected to endure domestic violence without complaint, aren't allowed to be vulnerable, are seen as less capable and irresponsible parents, die more on the job, are mocked/feared for being in nurturing careers (e.g. nursing, teaching young children), are perceived by many as potential child molesters, serve longer jail sentences for the same crimes, are expected to risk their lives, have to put women and children first, can't be too masculine, can't name call but have to take name calling, are pressured to succeed or are called lazy etc...

Feminism cares only about the advantages and privileges of being female. [/quote]
