History of Feminism
Related: About this forumNot sure why I wasted my morning coffee time to read this crap, except to say
that I had to wrap my mind around what I was reading.
I have heard some of this before, but to read it all in one place, was sort of fascinating. The below is a summary of a blog post and it's comments from an MRA blog:
1) Feminists hate men
2) Feminism is a hate movement
3) The patriarchy is a figment of feminists imagination, it does not exist
4) Feminists hate men because they focus on womens issues
5) The feminist movement to date has harmed men
6) To believe in the concept of the patriarchy is hate in the hate of men itself
7) Motherhood is the most important thing a woman can strive for
8) This one stood out:
A deep masculine voice shouted from the back, They have not suffered in SILENCE!!!
9) MRA's aren't fighting women, they are fighting injustice!
10) The cult of Feminism is more powerful than christianity
11) Are upset that a son may be born by a man hating feminist
12) They don't like male feminists, traitors to the team!
13) Men have intelligence on their "side"
14) Feminism is propaganda
15) Feminism is a love movement for ugly women who love to hate men
16) Men are ganged up upon when there is more than one feminist in a room
17) One commenter is still suffering mightily from some action his feminist third grade teacher took
18) It's all about biology
19) The FALSE Rape Epidemic
20) Trying to compare good feminists to bad ones is like is like defending good factions of nazism
Need I go on?
If you care to read more about the Mainstream MRA movement, (they do believe they are mainstream and are worried about a radical element) you can click this link.

(22,871 posts)A familiar refrain from the MRA where ever we find them.I've had great men in my life and always have,I think these MRA types would probably have even less respect for the men in a feminist life than for the feminist herself. Note that even the "tame" feminists bother them:
Milder forms of feminism do indeed exist. And so do milder feminists. But they are not the vanguard. They are not the cutting edge. They are not the powerhouse. However, they work diligently to secure advantages for women like scavengers in the aftermath of the main assault, once the enemy has been routed. They are the petty clerks, the bureaucrats, the carpetbaggers, who move into the occupied territory and secure the administration of it. It is part of their job to seem unthreatening, which is easy when somebody else does the dirty work.
Honestly, replace the word "woman" with "gays,black people,jews,liberals,etc." and this is a classic hate group. Here's one of their members getting to the real emotion behind their "movement":
"Feminism has been around since humanity descended from the trees. Patriarchy is what tamed the savagery by regulating sexuality, creating the concept of the traditional nuclear family and thereby creating civilization. When hate-feminism became victorious in the 1960s, it began to remove the thin coating of civility from mankind by doing nothing other than to return the laws of the jungle to what once was a successful civilization with a long history of growing prosperity and escalating health for all.
However, anyone who would have wanted to deliberately bring about the removal of mutual love and respect, the abolition of the family and the deconstruction of our society would have had to do it by means of inventing, designing, promoting and bringing to power nothing other than radical-feminism. That is what Marx and Engels set out to do, what Lenin, Stalin and Mao tse-tung constructed and what all promoters of radical feminism in the so-called free West religiously and fanatically followed."
"
These are some terribly sick fucks, I imagine most women back away slowly when they start spewing this crap.
