This is an excellent article by Cathy Young, exposing some of the widespread misandry within feminism.

I don’t agree with every point she makes. I think the 1848 demonizing of men is way more serious and shouldn’t be so easily dismissed. But that doesn’t take away from her main point: feminism is full of misandry, and if they want to be taken seriously by men, they need to address that.

    I never claimed that those were not real feminist, just not generally representative for all feminist.

      Just the feminists with institutional power over men, the only ones really worth talking about

      Since, ya know, all those other feminists are doing fuck all to stop them or even slow the misandrists down (almost like they encourage it or are otherwise complicit!)

        So by your logic the whole men-rights movement is misogynist? Since there are clearly some misogynistic elements in it.

          Again, you miss the entire point (or, more likely, intentionally misrepresent it)

          In the MRA sphere, genuine misogynists are not in power, and generally have their misogyny called out

          In feminism, misandry is encouraged and the people running the show are the worst of all of them.

          The blatant difference in power, scale, and harm of the bullshit comparison you tried to make outs your bad faith intent, despite your claims to just be here for “discussion”
