Why do Feminists hate Truth?

To understand why critics of Feminism say it is a hate movement, I refer you to the following:

Brainstorming

A reply to a Feminist, who insists, despite all evidence to the contrary, that feminists don't hate men.

Here was my original dialogue.

Feminist: "Feminism: great for women... also great for men!"

Sane Person: "Uh huh. So when you disrupted a conference on male suicide by pulling fire alarms, singing "Cry Me a River" and offering to collect the male tears of the brothers and sons of the dead, how was that helping men?"

Feminist: "The fact that you question Feminism is the reason we need Feminism!"

Sane Person: "That's a deflection. Why don't you answer the question?"

Feminist: "Why do you hate women?"

Sane Person: "That's another..."

Feminist: "I bet it because you can't get laid!"

Sane Person: "Will you focus on the issues?"

Feminist: "Pathetic man-baby! Cry me some male tears why doncha, man-baby?"

Sane Person: "Ok, you aren't interested in anything beyond abuse, and we're done" (*leaves*)

Feminist: "Hey! Hey! Did you all see that? He was trying to rape me! Donations pls!"


(Full quote from the feminist in question is far below.)She replied, and my response to that continues from here.

"Sorry but no, I completely disagree."



Of course you do - you don't care about evaluating new information that conflicts with your ideology.



"You're telling me that I'm not right to tell someone to settle down"

As I said, Feminists would have sworn at you historically if you'd tried that on them. Who are you to decide which emotions others may experience? Why is it you don't object to angry feminists?


" as though that's logical?"

You've completely ignored all evidence we have presented... but now you care about logic?


"the things you are saying are based on misinformation from hate groups. "


You have provided no evidence to back up anything you believe, and dismiss all the evidence you don't like on the grounds that it must be from bad people.


Jess Phillips, the Labour MP for Birmingham Yardley, angrily dismissed the idea of having a parliamentary debate on issues affecting men, and laughed at male suicide rates. (source)

She then called for male critics of Feminism to be arrested. (source)

This person has enormous political power, is supported by Feminists in the name of Feminism, and wants to introduce laws straight out of 1984, and you insist Feminism didna doo nuffin'.

"Feminism is not a hate group. "

And yet it invented the concept of toxic masculinity, without any correspondent toxic femininity. And it's easy, through word association, to establish feminists hate men.

They never talk about positive qualities of men unless they are filtering their words - when they freely associate, they will use negative terms only for men, who are seen as The Other... and they will only use positive terms for their In Group, i.e. women.

Feminists hate boys

This has been tested over and over.

Feminism is the doctrine of hatred of men and boys.

It's the hatred of PEOPLE.


But feminists are no longer able to see men and boys as people.

Which is why, in Australia, it's legal to pay men less per hour for identical work - men were legally re-classified by the Australian Human Rights Commission - controlled by feminists like Gillard - as not BEING HUMAN.

"The feminists who commented on this page said they don't hate men"

"Your argument is wrong, because of your race". Tell me again how Feminists aren't racist?

Talk is cheap. Lots of neo-nazis say they don't hate other racists. We care about deeds. We look  at feminists writing laws that protect female rapists, that make innocent behaviour such as the act of sharing champagne with your bride on your wedding night into a crime.

- we look at feminists calling for Sexual Segregation, for special treatment, for more and more resources to be spent on one sex than the other... 

...and we know that all the fine words don't make a damn bit of difference compared to WHAT YOU ARE DOING.



" I volunteer four times a month "

Which proves what?

" you're claiming I'm a nazi [sic]"

No. There are very few Nazis remaining on this planet. I'm claiming you are a fascist, yes, but your focus is on the hatred of men and boys, not on Jews and Gypsies.

And Feminism is far more subtle than Nazism ever was - but far more bold about wanting a genocide.

Feminists constantly talk about exterminating men - but in the end, they try to persuade us to murder ourselves instead. They laugh, and sing with joy, at male suicides. Do you have any idea who Big Red even is?



The thing about the Nazis is - they thought they were good people too.



"Saying I'm not allowed to say"

You're allowed to say what you want - in fact, as Facebook has shown, Feminists can freely call me a "white c*nt" and they will turn a blind eye to it, because they have that area run by and for Feminists.

But there's a difference between ALLOWED and JUSTIFIED that you seem incapable of grasping. You will not honestly deal with us - then you are offended when we call you out on it? Boo hoo! I don't care about your Feelz.

" Comments on this thread, saying things that females attempt suicide only for attention shows hate."


No, it shows reason. Death is easy. Do you think men are more competent than women? That women can't kill themselves properly because they are stupid? When men try to die, they succeed. Women cut themselves a little, then call for help, or they swallow pills that won't kill them for hours and sit in a place where they will likely be found.

And it works - women get far more resources proportionally. Feminists make damned sure of it.


In fact, when women's suicide rose a little to the rate of men, it was classed as a disaster... for women.

The concept of treating people equally regardless of their sex is impossible for feminists.


" When every feminist blog I've looked at discussed protecting rape victims both male and female" ... yet ignores the feminists writing laws that grant female rapists immunity to prosecution - yeah, so what if the blogs you read confirm your biases?


You just "no tru feminist!" the ones you don't like.

You aren't going to read new information, so I'm going to post this up in case others read it one day.
 I do not believe you are honest, and further discussion with *you* is pointless - but should anyone else have a desire to know more, the information is there, or I can provide it on request.

"discusses why consent is important"

Two people share a glass of wine and then have sex. Which of them raped the other? Thanks to feminists, legally, they are both rapists and they are both rape victims - but we know feminists will always ask "well, which was the man?"

Feminists don't care about consent, they care about harming men. Sane people are capable of ongoing consent - we don't suddenly decide that our taxi driver must have kidnapped us because they didn't ask if we still wanted to be driven every minute on the minute.


"why men and women should be paid the same for the same quality of work"

As I pointed out before, FEMINISTS HAVE DONE THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF THIS.

Feminists APPLAUDED the legal decision to pay men less per hour for identical work on the grounds that women deserve more because vagina.

That's a fact. But you don't care about the facts. You doublethink your way around them.


"why pro-choice is important"

Are you copying and pasting from some feminist list of grievances now? Abortion is a different topic - nice derailment attempt! And you wonder why we think you are dishonest.


" why harassment is wrong"

You feminists class everything a man says to a woman as harassment. "Good evening" was counted in a feminist video on the subject - one very popular with feminists. They didn't object to that shifting of the goal posts.


"why it's okay for guys to be sensitive"

Randi Harper was then called to the UN to speak on behalf of Feminists,
for a conference on how terribly harassed women are.
Talk about putting a fox in charge of a hen house!

... this from the movement that created a meme of "male tears" and "masculinity so fragile".

You hypocrite!

"how it's important to defend against homophobia"

Recently, feminists classed gay men as "privileged". Feminists applauded as gay men were arrested in the 1970s, and they do their damnedest to silence gay men like Milo when he says the things they don't like. When feminists march on to the platform of gay men and grab the microphone and tell the gay men that they are not allowed to talk, then I have to take your claims as being utterly worthless.


" transphobia"


Hahaha. TERF. Look it up. Feminists celebrate hating transgender women. There's a good reason people like Blaire White oppose you.



"racism"

Feminists routinely denounce white people - they even claim they can't be racist against white people.They write themselves a permission slip for violent behaviour.

When feminists call other people "WHITE c*nts", it's because they are racist, and because other Feminists are racist, and because they have the power to be racist with impunity. They enable each other's bigotry. That's a choice.



You, as a Feminist, are responsible for what is being done in your name. Instead, you persist in making excuses that result in people being murdered.

" I am absolutely certain it's not a hate group."

You are absolutely certain despite contrary evidence you never evaluate. You are a close-minded ideologue.

"If haters exist, I can't control them"

Yes, you can. You can stop supporting them.

When Dworkin was put in charge of teaching feminism to millions of students, feminists didn't object. They applauded. They made a choice. Don't give me that rubbish about being powerless.



" anymore than you can control groups like RotK"

... a group that has absolutely no connection to men's rights, and despises MRAs to boot. Why the hell would you think that was analogous? Are you an idiot?

" the difference is I'm not claiming that you must hate women "

Feminists call their opponents misogynists all the time. It's a standard tactic. In fact, Gillard even had the dictionary definition re-written after an argument with her opposition fell apart because they weren't using the Feminist definition.

We are at war with Eastasia. We have always been at war with Eastasia.

"When I see other feminists who work humanitarian jobs and volunteer, I don't see hate."

When the Nazis saw smoke blowing in from the ovens, they didn't see hate either. They made sure they thought about other things. They might not have killed Jews in person - but blood was on their hands nevertheless.



"Saying I need to address every radical while the majority are against hate is irrational."

Your claim that the majority is against hate has no evidence to back it up - and plenty of evidence against it.You don't oppose the radicals in any case - any of them. You just say you do.

And I'm done arguing with a fanatic who wouldn't know an honest thought if it smacked her in the face.

---

 Yes, they used the "Wall of Text" and "Gish Gallop" to boot.

Brett Caton Sorry but no, I completely disagree. You're telling me that I'm not right to tell someone to settle down and stop raging and throwing out random insults, as though that's logical? It's not. And the things you are saying are based on misinformation from hate groups. Feminism is not a hate group. The feminists who commented on this page said they don't hate men, and you respond by calling them liars, which matches my point perfectly. I volunteer four times a month and you're claiming I'm a nazi which again shows hate. Saying I'm not allowed to say I shouldn't have insults thrown at me shows hate. Comments on this thread, saying things that females attempt suicide only for attention shows hate. When every feminist blog I've looked at discussed protecting rape victims both male and female, discusses why consent is important, why men and women should be paid the same for the same quality of work, why pro-choice is important, why harassment is wrong, why it's okay for guys to be sensitive, how it's important to defend against homophobia, transphobia and racism I am absolutely certain it's not a hate group. If haters exist, I can't control them anymore than you can control groups like RotK, the difference is I'm not claiming that you must hate women because of all the anti-feminists out there who despise women, homosexuals and men who express feelings other than rage. When I see other feminists who work humanitarian jobs and volunteer, I don't see hate. The anti-feminist comments on this thread though? Different story. Saying I need to address every radical while the majority are against hate is irrational. The majority of anti-feminism I see is hateful though and I've looked at both sides, whereas you seem to only get your sources from one. You can cry and play the victim and pretend that warping an ideology around is somehow making a difference but in the end, I'm completely right. You can say that it's okay for men to express rage and aggression at others who disagree without being told to settle down, while saying feminists are hateful, but it only shows you as a hypocrite. I don't agree with hypocrites.

A response to

I Didn't Take the Pill Correctly, Got Pregnant, and Lied About It ... Twice

" it was purely a selfish decision to bring these two kids into the world"

Indeed. And only possible because your bad choices are subsidised by men. If we said "no" - you'd be doomed. If you were treated as an equal - your inability to act responsibly would mean you would lose the children - maybe even face paying a man child support.

But because we put women first - way ahead of kids - a woman can do as she pleases and expect others to clean up her messes.

"see the definition of abusive relationship" - one where you lie about birth control because you want kids and don't want to pay for them yourself?

"Do I feel bad about forcing these men into fatherhood?"

Of course not. That would be something *decent* people would do. Of course, in a sex reversed scenario, a man who impregnated a woman by sabotaging the birth control would go to jail, and be treated as a pariah.

"The ACOG’s strategy reflects a growing body of research that identifies reproductive coercion as a unique form of domestic or intimate partner violence" (source)

You?

Are you condemned by Feminists?

Of course not. Excuses are found. The men are - always - responsible for women's bad choices.

You?

Are celebrated by XOJane.

Thanks, Feminism!

"Feminism: great for women... also great for men!"

A reply to HuffPost's rather curious assertion.

Feminist: "Feminism: great for women... also great for men!"




Sane Person: "Uh huh. So when you disrupted a conference on male suicide by pulling fire alarms, singing "Cry Me a River" and offering to collect the male tears of the brothers and sons of the dead, how was that helping men?"

Feminist: "The fact that you question Feminism is the reason we need Feminism!"



Sane Person: "That's a deflection. Why don't you answer the question?"



Feminist: "Why do you hate women?"

Mackenzie Traylor (Feminist) replied: 

Those aren't feminists. Those are people acting under the name of feminism who have no idea what the movement is truly about, and who don't care what the movement is about.



Those are people who are trying to use a good movement for their own selfish needs. Every movement has people like that. It's horrible. But, they should not be allowed to define the movement itself.

Those aren't feminists. Feminists are supporting the discussion. Feminists truly understand the gender inequality and strive to end it. Feminists do not ignore the problems of another gender or race or sexual identity.

http://www.womynkind.org/scum.htm
For a not-a-feminist, it's funny how welcome she was to feminist conferences,
how feminist bookstores sold her books,
& how feminists taught her work in feminist courses in Universities.

Those women you're talking about aren't feminists. They're just using the title to carry on their petty little acts. They're ruining the reputation of a good movement.

[breaks added to create legibility]


"Those aren't feminists."

Andrea Dworkin, the founder of modern Feminism,
the person who set up Gender Studies courses at Universities,
and started Social Justice Warfare.

 "Those are people acting under the name of feminism who have no idea what the movement is truly about"

And you alone know the True Feminism? This sounds familiar. How did this Divine Revelation occur? And how come the other lot are follower of the Gourd? Are they not true Brianists - I mean, Feminists?



 I wouldn't mind so much if Feminism DID declare itself a religion



- I accept that religions are a matter of faith

It is interesting to see Islamism and Feminism blurring into each other.

- but Feminists will never do that because Secular Democracies have rules, like not promoting one religion above all others - that would be catastrophic to Feminism.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali is a Female Rights Advocate.
Which is why she opposes Islam in it's current form.
And why Feminists hate her.

" Those are people who are trying to use a good movement for their own selfish needs."

Do you have any evidence of what is in their mind? Have they written anything to indicate they are insincere? That they don't believe in The Patriarchy(TM)?



They qualify. They are accepted as Feminists by other Feminists, taught their Feminism by Feminists in Feminist courses at Universities, attend Feminist conferences without being removed, etc etc.



To argue that they are not Feminists if they are inconvenient is the same sophistry that was used to excuses the atrocities of Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot.





http://www.breitbart.com/tech/2016/03/05/libertarian-lauren-southern-assaulted-by-anti-fascist-protesters/

"they should not be allowed to define the movement itself."

The people leading the movement define the movement.

When Feminist lecturers are telling students to assault journalists, and other Feminists - like you - refuse to campaign against them and change the way Feminism is taught - then you are responsible for what they do.





You might be a nice Nazi - you don't hurt any Jews yourself.

But you always turn away when the smoke comes into your town, you always look away when the trains of people crying and begging for help roll past.



Stop making excuses.

"Feminists are supporting the discussion. "

To support the discussion, you have to allow differing points of view.




Whereabouts do you imagine Feminists do this?

Instead, they campaign to have dissidents silenced - sometimes violently. Might want to look up what happened to Milo recently.

"Feminists truly understand the gender inequality and strive to end it. "

Think about what you mean by "equality". Do you mean equality of opportunity - what Feminists used to fight for - or equality of outcome?



Is it equal to pay one group less than the other on basis of sex?

Was Prime Minister Gillard "Not a True Feminist"? She had the meaning of a word altered to match the Feminist usage. She's been applauded as a Feminist by Feminist organisations world wide. Suddenly you decide she's not a Feminist - and never was?

"Feminists do not ignore the problems of another gender or race or sexual identity. "

Wow, have you met any Feminists? What planet do these ones come from, because the ones here think the decline in male education is something to celebrate.



Seriously, read a few articles on the Huff Post, change the sexes around, or the races. White boys are the worst off in a lot of ways.



Don't see any feminists complaining about that.

Indoctrinate a child,
and you can persuade them to murder in your name.

You can make children do anything.
Inform on their parents and their friends,
run death camps.

Adults ask questions.

Adults don't Listen and Believe.

"Those women you're talking about aren't feminists. They're just using the title to carry on their petty little acts. They're ruining the reputation of a good movement."

Looking at the dwindling numbers of women who identify as Feminsits - it's doing that to itself quite nicely. No wonder Feminists want to make the teaching of it's ideology compulsory to children. It's unable to recruit by reason, but if it can just catch young minds before they are able to think critically...




Kristen Tea (Feminist) said:

"Because men aren't capable of dealing with their own issues? Feminism must be devoted to fixing all of those issues, in addition to women's abuse, homelessness, rape, etc.? MRAs only bring those men's issues up to counter feminism, not because they actually care about them. When's the last time you organized and donated to men's shelters? Do you know how women's domestic abuse shelters came about? We needed them and created them."

Kristen Tea

"Because men aren't capable of dealing with their own issues? "

the funny thing about egalitarian movements is they treat people equally.

An egalitarian who sees a homeless couple shivering in the cold doesn't decide only the white person there, or the straight person, gets shelter... they provide shelter for both.

Feminists play favourites. They only care about women - but they take taxes generated by men to solve the problems.

"Feminism must be devoted to fixing all of those issues"

Actually, we're fine with Female Rights Activists who only focus on female rights - but don't actively impede us. Feminists will disrupt any meetings we hold, will alter laws to make funding DV shelters impossible, will continually preach that our very masculinity is toxic and even call for genocide.

When Erin Pizzey set up DV shelters for women, Feminists approved. When she tried to do the same for men, Feminists threatened the lives of her family, and she had to flee the country.

"MRAs only bring those men's issues up to counter feminism"


Father's rights advocates have existed since the Tender Years doctrine. Many MRAs came with the 2nd wave Feminists. We marched in the marches and sang the songs and thought that helping women was just and never dreamt that Feminists would stab us in the back.

Feminists decided men were no longer to be Feminists, but, at best - allies. They sabotaged every effort we made to protect men. They even tried to get us declared terrorists through the SPLC. Feminists actively discriminate against men in the laws they make, and call for even antifeminist thoughts to be criminalised.

Feminists actively harm men.

70% of unprovoked domestic violence is by women


"When's the last time you organized and donated to men's shelters?"

Since Feminists disrupt any meeting to discuss the issue, how the hell do you imagine that can work?

Since Feminists would rather close shelters rather than allow them to be unisex - and that includes open to the sons as well as the daughters! - how would such shelters work?

The blood and sweat of men is used to build the shelters for women - that's taxation, and the taxes should be spent on all of us, according to need - not just white people, not just straight people, and not just female people.

Feminists are gender supremacists.

" Do you know how women's domestic abuse shelters came about? "

Yes. You don't.

"We needed them and created them."

You didn't have anything to do with it. You have no idea who Ms Pizzey is.

The Duluth Model Feminists put into place exists to make damn sure that DV is all gynocentric - that a female abuser can get away with her crimes, that a male victim has nowhere to turn to for help.



Every point you have made indicates you have never checked to see if the things you believe are true.

Someone told you things that you like, and so you believed blindly.

 I don't expect you to look at my references, or to research anything outside of feminist opinions. I really don't care if you can be bothered reading a word outside your echo chamber.

But the truth is here, for any open minded person.

They can check - either through my writing or their own research

- if what i have said is true

 - by simply venturing outside the Feminist framework, looking at the work of criminologists, of biologists, of psychiatrists and of people like Erin Pizzey who started the fight for men, and who were defeated by your movement, which now lies and lies and lies in order to make sure no protection is extended to men - and every cent is spent on their favoured kind.

Continued in:

"Women are paid .79 to a man's dollar for the same job!"

Educational Biases against Boys:

“…the research, carried out among 1,200 children in 29 schools across the country (England), had shown a possible reason for the glaring gap in performance between girls and boys right through schooling.

It also revealed that girls tried harder if they had a male teacher because they believed they would get better marks.

Their suspicions were not borne out, though, as the male teachers tended to give them exactly the same marks as the external examiners.

The study showed boys believed their answers would be 3 per cent lower if marked by a woman. The girls thought their results would be 6 per cent higher if marked by a man.”
"...female teachers did, on average, award lower marks to boys than unidentified external examiners. Male teachers, by contrast, awarded them higher marks than external examiners."

The Independent, Students’ Perceptions of Teacher Biases: Experimental Economics in Schools - Study

It would be interesting to see how the marks would be if the examiners had nothing to clue them as to which sex the student was.

I have heard elsewhere that female teachers mark boys down because they see them as defective girls. So if a paper is handed in with a female name at the top, a female teacher - especially a feminist teacher - will mark it up - and mark it down when they see a male name.
