do you know why feminism has a horrible image?
i’ll let you in on a secret here, it’s because people hate women

Ha. Ha. Ha. NO.


It’s because feminists biggest points of “oppression” have all been disproved, like the 1 in 4 rape myth, the wage gap, and gender bias in the school system. (x)


It’s because feminists completely ignore very serious issues concerning men in favor of “banning bossy” and fighting school dress codes. (x)


It’s because feminists have fought against equal custody and men winning custody over women, despite the fact that women are just as likely, if not more so, to abuse their children as men. (x)

It’s because, when men wanted protection against false rape accusations, feminists fought against it, causing it to fail. (x)

It’s because feminists have fought against regulating the legal system so that men and women receive equal sentences for equal crimes.  (Currently, males, on average, receive much longer, harsher sentences than women.) (x)

It’s because the feminist definition of domestic violence has skewed it so that men are rarely seen as victims and women are rarely seen as perpetrators. (x)

It’s because feminists have fought against legal definitions of rape that would include forced envelopment, thus allowing women to be considered “rapists.” (x)

It’s because of all these wonderful things feminists have done:

• Feminists skewed the Definition of Domestic Abuse, resulting in only male abusers being arrested and female abusers not.

• Feminists want to peeing while standing illegal
• Erin Pizzey had to flee the UK because she and her family received death threats and her dog murdered all because feminists didn’t like that she discovered women were equally as violent as men.
• Also Suzanne Steinmetz and her children received death threats and bomb threats she discovered that  the rate at which men were victimized by domestic violence was similar to the rate for women.

But, once again, we have a clear case of feminists playing the victim instead of owning up to the fact that their movement may not be the perfect movement that they think it is.
