Reply #133: On this site I'd say men bashing is far more common [View All]

than the reverse. Mostly because misogyny is met with swift action, whereas misandry (as seen on this thread) is tolerated.

"So the feminist movement isn't perfect and you know some feminists who hate men? So what? That doesn't mean it isn't still a legitimate movement that's very necessary."

So the mens rights movement isn't perfect and you know some who hate women? So what? That doesn't mean it isn't still a legitimate movement that's very necessary. Easy huh?

You used the existence of a minority of men who bash women as proof that such a movement should not be tolerated. Why can't I do the same to you? Or is that a gender based double standard that you are ok with?

"And the dad as the incompetent boob thing always enrages me, too. Lots of us feminists hate that! We can thank patriarchal attitudes for crap like that. Plenty of men think that way, too. Who do you think writes those commercials and sitcoms a majority of the time?"

You can tell that by all the times feminists bring such discrepencies to our attentions and work to correct them. Snicker.

So defending mens rights should also be the purview of feminists? If a man has an issue with some part of our culture he could just tell his girlfriend and she will act on his behalf. How thoughtful. Like back when men decided what was best for women, I think that worked out well.

That sounds great and all but why not let men have their own forum where they could discuss such matters themselves?

And I think writers do that because for the jokes to work they need one parent to be an idiot, and if it's the mother then they will be protested and sued.
