now lets all snap back to reality here and look at FACTS.
let’s look at what real feminism has done in the real world.
Now, theres no question that feminists did some great things for womens rights. but they’ve also done a whole lot of bad for both genders as well, especially in recent years.
Now i know what you’re gonna say, NOT ALL FEMINISTS.
Feminism is a political movement. It has leaders. The rest of the people who join it, like the bloggers on tumblr, inherently support them by supporting feminism. Its not a big enough party to have multiple sects. Political parties motives are determined not by the supporters, but by the people who lead them, the people who do fundraisers, and organize protests, and slutwalks. The people who create the propaganda. The ones who write the literature, and who teach the women’s studies courses and plan their curriculums. Those people are far more influential than a sixteen year old with a blog and a few hundred followers.
The thing is, even your definition of feminism is wrong. The name itself should tell you that this is a gendered movement. Im assuming you’re going by the Websters definition.
Now im gonna do a breakdown on why even by its very definition feminism isnt for equality.
That link will take you to the ACTUAL definition of Feminism. now Websters did in fact say sexes but its secondary definition said
“organized activity on behalf of women’s rights and interests“ which even by Websters is still in favor of women. The oxford english dictionary also says that feminism is indeed about women.
You are probably asking yourself why this is even a problem. Aren’t women the ones who still need rights? Well see that may have been true twenty years ago but now it really isn’t. The main problem with the definition of feminism is that it enforces this idea that men live in some ideal world that women should want to live in. Idealizes our situation has the negative effect of erasing our problems. So even by its very definition feminism is already fucking up the idea of equal treatment and consideration.
Men want protection against false rape allegations. They feel that a man’s life should not be ruined simply on the allegation of a woman who may be a vindictive liar. Currently, a woman can accuse a man of rape for no reason, and the man’s name is splashed in the paper and his life is ruined. So, they fought for laws granting men anonymity until charged with the crime of rape—not convicted, just charged.
Feminists fought against this, causing it to fail. Also see here, the London Feminist Network campaigning to defeat the proposal.
Men want an end to the justice system favoring women simply because they are women, and giving men harsher sentences simply because they are men.
Men want equal treatment when victims of domestic violence, and to not be arrested for the crime of “being male” under primary aggressor policies.
Feminists fought against this by trying to suppress evidence showing that half of domestic violence is done by women, by threatening the researchers with bomb threats, death threats, etc. Modern, younger feminists are doing it as well.
Men want female rapists to be arrested, charged, and convicted with rape. In Western countries, women are rarely punished when raping men, due to the biased legal system. In some countries, women cannot be punished when raping men, since rape is defined as a male-perpetrated crime.
Feminists fought against this in India, arguing that “there is a physicality [in] rape” and that it would make things “more complicated for judges.”
Feminists fought against this in Israel, claiming that changing the law would result in men filing false rape claims.
Men don’t want to be thrown in jail because they lost their jobs and temporarily cannot pay child support.
Feminists fought against this, trying to lower the amount to $5000 before a man is guilty of a felony for not paying child support. If a man loses a decent-paying job, he will now be a felon, go to jail, lose his right to vote, AND be unable to find future jobs—if he cannot regain an equal-paying job within a few months.
Men want equal economic support and help from the government. When the recession hit, male-dominated fields like construction lost millions of jobs, while female-fields like education and healthcare gained jobs. So the government proposed an economic stimulus for those fields.
In 2008, a law was passed in England and Wales that allowed long-term domestic violence victims who killed their abuser to be charged with the lesser charge of manslaughter, but this only applies to women.
In California and Montana, a woman can name any man she likes as the father, he gets a letter in the mail, if he does not prove he isn’t the father within 30 days he is now the father and must pay. He cannot contest it. And DNA tests to prove paternity are not considered proof by the courts.
Women who falsely accuse a man of rape, who would be sent to prison for 10+ years if convicted, only gets fined or a slap on the wrist.
There is also the gender bias in the Probation Departments:
A higher score on the Probation Assessment Tool (PAT) means a recommendation that could lead to eventual dismissal of charges. A lower score means probation or lockup, not to mention the juvenile delinquent tag. [Judge] Hunt claims PAT routinely rewards girls with 14 extra points for gender alone, while boys get 0.
Then there are studies that show women who fail to pay child support are incarcerated only 1/8th as often as men with similar violations.

Kurdish Warrior Women fearlessly fighting the evils of ISIS at every turn. Made especially fierce by the knowledge of what ISIS will do to them if they are captured. And made an especially effective due to the fact that ISIS fighters believe that if killed by a woman they will be chastised in the afterlife.
I’m really mad that this doesn’t have more notes. Middle Eastern feminists don’t joke around.
The last one… bravest warriors. They have my biggest respect.
you see, these are Feminists i agree with.
First world femmies say “People in <Third world country> are <feminist issue> but they say it behind a computer screen, in front of a camera not actually giving two fucks about the women in said Third World Country but push THEIR issues to promote why THEY as a 1st world feminist need feminism.
Because it sounds petty if they were to say
“I need Feminism because i don’t have enough room on public transport because guys have their legs too far apart”
or
“I Need feminism because there isn’t enough female representation in the media outlet that i give no shits about”
MEAAAANWHHILE
there are women literally DYING and being BETTER FUCKING FEMINISTS than the likes of Sarkeesian, Green and Wu, actually fighting for women’s rights in that country, to the point where if they were captured they would shoot THEMSELVES!
Seriously, First World Feminists, if you care about the problems Third World Feminists have in their coutry, take fucking notes.

I don’t really see how the fact a female artist friend made the shirt for him really negates what was awful about wearing the shirt in the first place.
Everything going on in the world and we’re all arguing about a fucking shirt. Isis, who cares ; the stuff in Ferguson, nah no big deal; starving people across the globe, fuck them. Let’s argue about a shirt.
That’s what really kills me. People can get upset about the shirt all they want. It was pretty unprofessional of him to wear it in the first place. But to completely ignore the bigger picture about accomplishing the next big step in space travel, and instead attempt to disgrace the man, his team, and this entire achievement based around anime tits? That’s just sad.
This man just took us into the future of astronomy, and he should be honored as such.
Let’s negate human progress for misplaced feminism and death threats from wannabe murderers. If you were against this person for his shirt and gender rather than congratulating a scientific milestone, kindly go fuck yourself and never speak to me.
The worst part is that there are people who keep saying he deserves it for wearing a the shirt. Let me say that again. “Feminists” are telling him he deserved all that because of what he was wearing

According to two sources familiar with the clip’s production, the men in the video were approached on the street to take part in a “comedic, hidden camera” video. One source, who said he declined an invitation to be in the video, told TSG that he was told the production was a “student video.” He added that the film crew did not ask for participants to sign releases or any other “paperwork.”
Josh Blaine, the shaggy-haired man wearing sunglasses in the video, drives a Hollywood tour bus. In a message to his Facebook friends, Blaine said that he did “a favor for some camera crew guess this is what I get for being agreeable to someones project.” He added that, “it was supposed to be a funny skit. here’s to watching my back with virtually no friends. fuck my life.”
They’ve basically been portrayed as would-be rapists for the world to see and they weren’t asked any release and were not paid?!
Christine Michaels, owner of LA Epic Club Crawls, says employee Mike “Mokii” Koshak told her he was approached by the video’s maker and told to act the part of a zealous suitor for what he believed was a student comedy short film.(…) Koshak later said he felt duped by the producer when he saw the final product.
Koshak said on his Facebook page today that “the video that has me in it that’s going around the web was all staged and all of the people in it were acting.”
We were told that Koshak, who had not apparently signed a release, is now seeking legal representation in the matter.
Falsely making innocent men look like rapists so that someone can get a viral video out there is incredibly horrible behavior. I hope that tumblr spreads that this was all a set-up and that these men are actually victims here instead of giving more attention to the original video that is still going around. They now have their faces tied to horrible behavior that they did not commit and one of them already lost a contracting job over it. This is not okay.
Yo it’s just another page in the tumblr feminist’s big book of Shit That Never Happened.
