The "Death" of Feminism - Why The Movement Is In Crisis 

That's *True* Feminism, not the garbage Western Feminism in the US and UK.

I think it’s referring more to western feminism, since “The Take” is an American-based channel.

@@beethovensfidelio not western tho, only American

They will most likely be brutally crushed down by the revolutionary islamic guard in a few months , once Western media's attention gets away from it .

Stop applying western idealogies to non western countries. Its very reductive. Whats happening in Iran has nothing to do with women, its the opposition using the death of a woman cause havoc and destruction for their own gains.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

this!!

I believed Me Too was or something even earlier than that. I saw it as the catalyst that woke everyone up. The Take did a video on the Handmaids Tale. It was interesting considering how many people did not put two and two together. As soon as episode 1 came on, my mom and I were deeply scared this was going to happen in real life. As soon as women have power and sexual freedom, people have to destroy it. It sucks that another woman created this society. Yes, humans have the capacity to be cruel including women, but I never understood women hurting other women when they were disrespected too.

THANK YOU for this comment. This is the first thing that came to mind when I read the description box. I’m like “wait a minute. Since when did human rights become a trend in the first place?! 😂” That mentality is the root of the problem among us as women. Not everything is a fashion statement or a trend that you can just throw away when it gets too boring or hard.

girl what did you eat?? cause you left no crumbs 😳

Whaaaaat? [Insert literally any word here] exists outside of the US? 😱 Your'e gonna give some of our american friends nightmares... or a stroke.

The astroturfed protests aren’t majority women.

These channels always ignore the fact that they are followed outside US too

Then ask for another video. If their research is based on United States evidence then of course the video will be based on that. I don't get why every video I watch on RU-vid there is scrutiny for the content creator making content centered around where they live. If enough people ask politely for information on a different location then im sure they would take the quality time to have that discussion.

This video was crearly made by an American perspective and is actually what is wrong with feminism: it's whitennes. If you just stopped looking only in the American point of view and realize that THERE IS AN ENTIRE WORLD OUTSIDE THE USA you would know that in Mexico and in most Latino countries we DO in fact have organized feminist organizations and we are still fighting for our right to abortions and fighting back the killing of women each day. Not to mention women in Iran on the Hijab protest so get your head outside America and look out.

WE ARE!!!!! Thanks to the local feminist movement (la marea verde) and the students with the green handkerchiefs cutting the metro in Chile in 2019 and the protests it unleashed, the whole country kickstarted towards a leftist wave that culminated with the president chosen this year -- the first leftist president since 1973, where Allende was killed by a US backed coup. There's still work to do (the old dictator's constitution is still in place) but it's steady, slow work. Argentina got abortion approved in 2020 -- we've had gender identity laws and equal marriage since 2010. Mexico is still battling against the goverment for the recognition and prevention of femicides -- that affect disproportionately poor and indigenous women. Latin America is STILL fighting, we HAVE been fighting for years and years! Just because the West decided feminism was a product to be sold, something to be shown on TV and not execute on the streets doesn't mean the rest of the world works the same. I feel like first world countries -- or at least the middle class, white part of it -- don't have the tradition of social fighting for a cause, struggle the way we have it and therefore feels like it should be a fast, apparent blaze instead of the steady fire and the inch-by-inch activism we're more used to in Latin America and the Global South. Activism is slow work and it's unglamorous and boring -- of course the western media will claim its death when they can't package it to sell.

ABSOLUTELY, feminism in Latin America is only getting bigger and stronger 💜💚

Yes!!! Thanks for saying this.

👏👏👏

Thank you for mentioning this. In Mexico we are trying so hard to be heard but also to survive as women because in many cases we aren't safe in the streets and sometimes not even at home. Unfortunately a lot of the US-centric views related to anti-feminism are entering into the Latin American context, especially in through the Mexican border with the US. Most of the time, in LATAM channels and on social networks such as Twitter and Facebook people will be able to find a mix between people who are true feminists who want women to have safe abortion clinics, education for girls in rural communities, etc., people who confuse misandry and feminism, and of course the toxic self-called "feminists" who are into misandry and are TERFs. I wish there was a way for people in my country to understand that feminism is one thing and misandry/TERFs are another completely different topic. I've had to become low key feminist at this point because of all that I wrote above. I do my best to help women and trans-women but sometimes it can feel a bit lonely.

It's getting more international too - I see a lot of solidarity online and IRL for the women of Iran protesting the compulsory hijab _and_ for the Muslimas in France fighting against the hijab ban. From the same people. Folks are finally cottoning on to the issue being _choice_ and that gives me hope.

I don’t think so. The face of feminism is still white. Hence why it keeps failing.

@@TheSleepyowlet it's funny because more and more countries around Europe are banning hijabs and niqabs and the population in general is accepting politicians and leaders who criticize Islam ferociously and even speak against muslim immigration like the recent election of sweden democrats and the far right giorgia meloni .

Islam says husbands can beat their wives in case of disobedience as corroborated by Aisha, Muhammad's child-bride. So, I really don't understand the cognitive dissonance of being a muslim feminist.

😕Sooo, you worship a god that despises me for being gay🚫🏳️‍🌈...🤦🏾‍♂️ Abrahamic religions suck, and you should deconstruct yours before you get into human rights movements, because as of this moment, you are worshipping a god that disagrees with my right to even exist. Also you need to see a therapist for your Harley Quinn complex 🃏, as you worship someone who despises you for being a woman. Anyway, just stop being one of the people who keep me living in fear of being murdered for who I am.

Yes because women from Africa and third world regions have real and grievances and hardships that require attention. The pampered spoiled Western women are running off at the mouth not because they're oppressed but simply because they can.

Lol. No. I'm African and black women are getting worse. Femicide and poverty are through the roof. These silly mantras talking about unity with bm aren't helping

That's because you actually have something to fight for. Western women have it all for decades. Abundant access to everything needed, but yet they complain about everything. Western feminists are immature babies that never grew up from their own spoiled childhood. How many western feminist are fighting for you and other women in countries where oppression actually exist? None of them! They literally do not care.

Good for you and Zambia! Feminism is so much more of a necessity in other parts of the world.

I must add one more thing. Unfortunately, some people gatekeep feminism, and it's so harmful. Some people say that I can't be a feminist because I wear hijab, but I will never stop calling myself a feminist. It's really not complicated, it's all about being able to choose what you want, without others forcing you to change that choice or to forbid you from doing that choice or shaming you because of that choice. I'd always say, just leave us alone. Let us choose for ourselves, let us be ourselves. Let us be slutty or religious, let us be doctors or housewives, let us have multiple children or have no children at all. Let us wear hijab or wear nothing at all.

I am in awe of the women in Iran, and how you are fighting for your rights currently. I consider myself a feminist, but I don't know that I would have the courage to stand up to the oppressors that Iranian women are facing. Stay strong.

YAY!!! Good on you!! Love that. Everyone should be allowed to choose what is best for themselves!! Brilliant! Keep going!!

It's more like a phase than a trend. Something human women have always exhibited but most seem to grow out of it.

she’s not a liar

​@gm.8805 exactly she is not she mocked jonny and say nobody will believe you because you are a man, however she was wrong

@@RobertSmith-cx2zh that’s not what she said. her words were “tell everybody that i, johnny depp. man, i’m a victim of dv TOO”. she never said ‘a man’, she said ‘man’ as in slang. and also if you listened to the audio, the argument was about johnny saying they had a fair fight, even though johnny hit her first and amber fought back.

@gm.8805 come on even in the trial is obvious she was the abuser, she is a shame to true victims is for woman like her that women have trouble having people believing them. She did say you are a man and nobody will believe you.

Well Johnny Depp did abuse her. Did you miss that part?

Could also just use a reality check - start advocating for more women in trades and other skilled labor positions. The vast majority of "real" work is still done by men, real meaning "if this industry shut down the rest of the developed world would stop functioning".

@@robertcunningham1695 this is important. You can still promote feminism and choice but recognize that not all women will go for certain jobs, and that men doing them is still important

Wrong. Reality check: here in Asia, women are independent yet still are feminine and don't antagonize men. While western feminazis antagonizing men and want take over all men's positions.

i think being mainstream actually hurts feminism more than helping, mainstream means everybody has their opinion on it but not really a nuance understanding of it, when you have women saying Thatcher is a feminist icon is because they dont really understand the ideology of feminism, there you have women fighting if not agreeing with other women is feminist or not. We need a stable base that makes political change possible, what policies we need, what changes must be made.

Western feminism is an oxymoron and a hatred movement, akin to the klu klux klan. american women are the most overpriviledged and pampered human group in the world, and all they do with that power is ABUSE IT

@Anna crystal I gave 2 examples of non-sexist behavior that were pictured as sexist in the media. This deligitimizes the real sexist behaviors. If every critism towards any woman is pictured as either sexism or internal mysogyny it deligitinizes and infantilizes us. We want equality not special treatment.

💯 agree.

EXACTLY! I’m a woman and I think Feminism is great when done right. We should support women in general but we shouldn’t blindly support awful movies and inferior candidates just because of their genitals!

Also, if we didn't watch the Johnny Depp trial and only went based off the media we'd still think Heard was the victim. So when mainstream media takes a woman's side only becshse she's a woman no matter how much evidence there is that she's awful then people will rebel against it. People don't like being treated like they're stupid.

@@KittySnicker it’s the same idea as blindly supporting a political candidate because of their genitals.

or whining about "sexist air conditioning"

​@@TheJoelef correct. They trivialised a lot of issues like the Air condition example you gave.

People were fighting for human rights before bRand of "feminism" exists, people will fight their fight for human rights in the future, people don't care about bRand of feminism which the media and politicians created for their own gain.

@@namo6641 lol, is “brand” a bad word now or is that some kind of dog whistle? you need some history lessons. look up what happened to the fights for our rights in the 80s, 90s, and 00s. People might continue to fight small battles for special local issues (and lose majority of them against powerful giants); the brand brings people together under a shared goal because our main strength is in numbers. Attacking the “brand” diffuses that collective power and is part of a divide and conquer strategy

The thing is, the Powers That Be want us exhausted. They want us to be cynical, and thinking that nothing can change, so that won't resist, and they can continue to rob the world. So, even if we're exhaused (and Lord knows we are), we can't stop. Beause they certainly won't.

I think the same about it.

Equals the society’s such a sore loser and we can’t take it

Personally beyond burnout I’ve just lost a lot of hope and faith in humanity

@@Thepriestessdeath I feel the same way. I am currently just trying to mentally get through my day to day.

I also think the media is portraying it that way. Not necessarily the movement.

@@Tijggie82 Partially, but it's also just how every subculture is trying to say that anything they like is feminist or empowering even if it clashes with the values of another one.

@@Nightman221k Kind of like how a religious feminist is counterintuitive, how is a Muslim woman a feminist? She's inherently pro life.

@@Nightman221k this. Also, to the person below, I don’t see why you can’t be religious and feminist. I always thought feminism was about choice

Yeah I was kind of thinking that when I watched this video. I'm more aware of global events than most people, and I can say that in the global south Femism isn't dealing with an existential crisis, it's still running its course.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

😂 keep trying

Just want to add this: feminists do talk about that, the reason why you might not have noticed it much could be because you spend time in circles where other issues take limelight. Which is fine, different issues take precedence for different people, no need to imply that somehow the “trendy” version is invalid; it’s valid too.

What's your country?

Men having maternity leave might also help. Women can get discriminated against when going to find work if she is wearing a ring because the workplace knows that they will likely have to give her paid maternity leave. But also, idk if we are looking at the possibility of pregnancy correctly. I think it is pretty backwards to believe that pregnancy, something that men cannot do, will always remain a hindrance for us to succeed. That seems to me like we are still promoting a patriarchal society since we all have to be more like men to succeed. We should make it so that natural female experiences, like pregnancy, are not discriminated against but rather, accommodated.

@@LilacSreya and feminists failed to prevent 60 million girls from being killed

​@Taliban Soldier 😂😂😂Our man dog

I'm a feminist and I'm against equality. If we were "equal" to men we'd be responsible for just as many SAs, murders, and violent crimes as men. We would be starting just as many wars and running just as many corporations that work off of slave labour. I want to see what a world that's run by women would look like, because I can say it'd probably look a hell of a lot different than the current world that's catered to men.

Well said, thank you! 👏

Not sure I agree with that last part. Humans need to collaborate with eachother. Being self-sufficient isn't a bad idea, but it is further isolating. We need to start culturally valuing eachother more, it has to become integral to care for one another.

@@francookie9353 oh I agree with that too, but for some who struggle making friends and dating, it is important to be independent if they don’t have someone to for or have someone to take car of them. Do agree that we do need to value each other more.

Cheating has always been extremely common. Word just spreads now because of the internet.

@@Shearedfield have to agree with this

Never heard about this

So somebody cheating also means they don’t love their wife or treat them right? They’d leave them if they didn’t. You must be hurt and scarred

Cheating has always be a Female Occupation moreso than a Male one.

How does that have anything to do with feminism? Did you report the abuse from your math teacher to your principal and/or your parents? It's their responsibility to protect you. The fact that there are bad women in the world does not change the fact that men have been oppressing women for centuries on the principal of being inferior. We are equals. I mean if a black men would have falsely accused your father, would you argue that we return to slavery and question Martin Luther King and what he was fighting for?

@@jz372 Okay first of all, I'm not american I'm italian and second of all in my previous comment I simply critizied how misandry is ruining the roots of feminism and sadly It's true from what I saw in the US, and my question is, do we have to hate the opposite gender for resolving the problems of sexism? No because if both genders are hating each other It's not gonna resolve anything, and about my abuser, sadly I couldn't report her, Why? Simple, I was a child back then and they didn't believe me and my parents tried to help me but they also weren't believed, and the worst part about It is that woman still has a job, the only good thing I'm saying is at least my father is still working.

It will be a long hard fight in the arab nations! Not that its feminism that did stuff wrong to the us culture but it has added to all our troubles with angry lonely men an other trouble with the united states!

You are body shamed because you are fat. Simple as.

You can throw all those silly dictionary definitions and gender studies recitals of "we only want equality" you want towards us normal people, but we know what we witness first hand from the cult of feminism. While feminists such as yourself preach equality in theory, it is not what you practice in reality. It is all smoke and mirrors designed to benefit solely women while vilifying men in the process. The spokeswomen and faces of feminism spew male-hate on a regular basis....and with no true rights left to fight for in the Western world, feminists have taken it upon themselves to CREATE their oppression - all anti-male. Emphasis on the word "create". Let's see - there's mansplaining, manspreading, manterrupting, the male gaze, toxic masculinity, the universally mocked and debunked gender pay gap, the patriarchy, femicide, rape culture, the inane "believe all women", the patriarchy, the sudden scourge of cat-calling, all anti-male. Hell, the latest book being promoted by a feminist is entitled "I Hate Men"....um, we men ain't feeling the "we only want equality" love here. Are we not to believe what we see and read with our eyes and hear with our ears from the leaders of your cult and keep referring back to those silly gender studies composed dictionary definitions of feminism? You see, the problem is not with us everyday normal Average Joes and Janes, but rather with the likes of you "true" feminists, who refuse (fear?) to silence these "fake" feminists, as you term them. Is that too much to ask? They hate men under the guise of equality. Just that. Man hate for all men. Eighty percent of women, that's women, mind you, not men, refuse to identify as a feminist today. Young women in particular. Women are abandoning your cult in droves....has there been a sudden barrage of women seeking inequality? Of course not, you silly goose, you. Rather, women, akin to men, know feminism's true purpose - and, newsflash, it ain't equality. **Equality is not possible without you. If you believe in equality, please come forward, and support everyone, regardless of their gender, which is not what feminism does.** What feminists need to do is look in the mirror and ask "What are we doing wrong to garner such a horrid image today with the general populace?" (in other words, the other 98 percent of the population.) Obviously, if you read the endless barrage of negative comments in this comment section, you reciting from your gender studies textbook that feminism is all puppy dogs, rainbows and kittens and only wants equality is not working. Rather, you feminists should go up to the chalkboard, erase all those inane dictionary definitions, commands to "educate ourselves" and start anew. Otherwise, feminism has a mere 10 years remaining of any stability in its current form.

Nope. People are tired of modern feminism because it has become white = evil. Man = evil. You’re a man and you don’t sexually assault women? To bad, you are a misogynist because you are are a man. And with intersectionality, you are racist because you are white. The intersection came with me too. The argument was made “believe all accusers.” Why? Because they accuse. Nevermind the white male who denies it, his voice doesn’t matter. It’s misogyny. He cannot and will not be seen as an individual, because he is a white male. Only his whiteness matters. Only his maleness. But when it comes to a women, well, their “lived experience” is incontrovertible proof.

still blaming men. I think as long as the favorite hobby of feminism is to kick men in the teeth, it will be totally unattractive to most women who had at least one positive relation with a non emasculated man in her life

It's Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, but she gets completely misinterpreted by people who can't be bothered to do a simple google search. What she meant was that society ignores good women, and only focuses on power hungry politicians like Maggie Thatcher or criminals like Aileen Wuornos. It's a sad irony that people don't really care what a female professor was saying, and just use it as a cheap "girl power" slogan.

I think it was Laurel Thatcher Ulrich. However it originally wasn’t about being loud and protesting but about how the quiet woman of history are often forgotten and under-appreciated. We so often have glorify people like Marilyn Monroe but forget about the single mother who managed to feed her kids in a world against her. It’s a bit like how traditional woman’s work (cooking, caring) is over looked despite society needing it to function. Which I think makes ironic that the woman who said it is so often forgotten. However while the “fight the power” interpretation was not the original meaning I think it has value and things in culture shift. In short I think the quote is relevant just not in the way you intended but we need both loud and quiet women to be appreciated. Which at least in part ties into intersectional feminism because different women struggle with different things and traditional woman’s work should be appreciated not invisible.

Yes. Very bad behaved girls like amber heard sure are making history.

Intersectional feminism is blah blah blah. White women, black women, Asian women are all women and feminist groups are always wanting women from many backgrounds to support them. I think some black women think if they start talking about feminism they will be seen as difficult. Some black men think white women are 'easier'. But white women can be just as difficult. I am saying there is not much of a difference between black women and white women. Much less than the perceived difference. We should work together to improve women's lives.

I think they are basing thier opnion on the “coptalistic version” of femenisim you know the click bait money making schemes😊

That had nothing to do with feminism, that’s because before the 1950’s birth control and menstrual sanitation didn’t exist and the reason women couldn’t vote is because it came with the responsibility of the draft, it’s out of protection not oppression. And I’d encourage you to look at the overdose and suicide rate of people under 25, it’s insane and it’s a direct result of feminism’s over reach and the liberalization of divorce law. Read more and read to understand instead of to win.

It definitely hasn’t done more harm than good. They are mad at capitalism making two worker households necessary. They are also (and I agree with them in this one thing) angry at their spouses for being woke until it’s time to do the fucking dishes. Feminism has done a lot but the issue is that there is a long way to go, not that it hasn’t done anything.

It's not insane.

When my mother got divorced she couldn't get a lease for an apartment without a man to co-sign it. This poll was trying to get clicks, not information, I suspect.

Equality will exist only when Women will be forced to military service register too. Like men are forced to do if they want rights to vote. Viceversa equality does not exist.

Feminism is direct and active in south Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East, and women here aren't afraid to call ourselves feminists or call our movement feminism, in any of its branches (radical feminism, Marxist feminism, liberal feminism, indigenous/decolonial feminism, afrofeminism). It's not a monopoly of ideology, it has variety. Latin American feminism lost its faith in electoral system a long time ago. We don't wait patiently until we can vote so we can have change. We protest, we do direct action, we go up to our government offices directly and demand it. Legal ab0rtion, for example, only existed in Mexico City 10 years ago--- in the last 4-5 years, 10 more states have legalized it. No voting. Only taking to the streets.

@@sayenka6093 And yet, ultimately whether or not you call yourself a feminist means nothing in comparison to what actions you take to bring about the social and economical equality of all sexes and genders. If you call yourself a feminist and do nothing else, you're not more of a feminist than someone who doesn't use the term but actually engages in activist activities to progress the overall effort. Thank you for reiterating exactly the point I'm making.

@@LittleHobbit13 And why is that person that is doing so much activist work in the favor of feminism so against the idea of defining themselves as a feminist? People that actually do the activist work are not afraid of their own definition. There are, of course, people like you - a flag in the wind. The non-existent "neutral. I support women's rights but I don't define myself as a feminist. I fly planes but I'm not a pilot. I care for sick people but I'm not a nurse.

@@sayenka6093 You're clearly very obsessed with the term "feminist" and seem way too fixated on whether or not people are using it. Again, kind of my point. Couldn't your energy be going to something actually productive to the feminist cause? Instead you're here on youtube screaming at people to use a particular word. Hmm.

@@LittleHobbit13 I mean, your energy could also go to something productive and yet here you are arguing with ME - the obsessive screaming person. Using the correct word for something is apparently already too radical for you.

Am I missing a reference or is toddlers a euphemism here?

This video was crearly made by an American perspective and is actually what is wrong with feminism: it's whitennes. If you just stopped looking only in the American point of view and realize that THERE IS AN ENTIRE WORLD OUTSIDE THE USA you would know that in Mexico and in most Latino countries we DO in fact have organized feminist organizations and we are still fighting for our right to abortions and fighting back the killing of women each day. Not to mention women in Iran on the Hijab protest so get your head outside America and look out.

I agree that we should destroy capitalism, when there is a system that is less bad than it.

@@playlistsparavocechorar176 So, we're screwed. Capitalism will destroy us first.

This is a very interesting topic that needs much more open convo here in the west. I think a great numberr of people here have alot of misconceptions about alternative systems but glad to find more and more people here realizing that.

Ah yes, someone who completely misses the point.

I agree, if the other part of humanity isn’t meeting halfway for equality it’s going nowhere sadly. Only evil sexist men and women would work against equality.

I try to do that

I try to help, but the inclusion of men in the movement will come easier with the focusing of some male issues under patriarchy. Not many people want to fight other people's battles, but they will fight for their own rights. It's sad to say, but women will have to accommodate men AGAIN.

@@tally3067 They may not be passionate about their currently work, but most of my male coworkers are computer nerds who built servers and setup networks in their home. That just isn't the case with women in the field.

Totally agree 💯

It is a hypocritical movement and everyone knows it. Why? Because Mostly Men are always respectful and gentle around other people and women. But if there is a group of sexist people who generalize other gender then theyre feminists themselves. Because deep inside its the feminists who are sexist. Not Men. feminists label Men as pigs, rapist and these dirty asshole feminists arent called out for that. women dont deserve respect because theyre women. No. women lost respect because they think they deserve special treatment. Take off your misandric glass and look again. Men are the ones that actually serves the society and respects women. Meanwhile you can see plenty women who are disrespectful and taking advantage of Men. Look how media portrays Men. Firstly you feminists need to learn mannerisms and should understand that Men also undergo different struggles and when he raises issues you shouldnt call him mysognyst.

Because nowadays, being a feminist is equated to women stepping on men the same way men stepped on women in the 20th century.

Can you still be a feminist but not always like some of the social media junk they get up to today? I don’t see why you can’t

It's not about backlash. People look at feminists and think, "I'm nothing like her or like anybody who claims that label, and I don't want to be identified with that." You can be for equal rights, but still reject the label feminism because you find the people who carry the label to be alien to you ,and to your _actual_ causes. I don't carry the label because I don't want to be in the same club as some feminists whose ways I despise.

@Anna crystal you want to keep getting the dcik!!! With the law you can't cheat freely!!

@@politereminder6284 if you call yourself anti racist but then you see some anti racists being bigots or something does that mean you'll reject the label. feminism have always meant equal rights for women and anti misogyny and the label is challenging because we live in a society where anything "fem" is looked down on

AMEN! Supporting women like Amber Heard just gives Feminism a bad name.

“Falsely accusing”. No, he did all that. OJ Simpson 2.0

The drug addict? Bs

feminism keep adressing men issues cause by patriarchy. they just reject the notion that men are a marginalized group

So do you think that Black Lives Matter (who believes in equality between blacks and whites) should address white people problems instead of just black issues? Do you think as a white man that you are equally treated to women and black people? Are you possibly that blind?

marxist feminism is the way to go

Not necessarily. There are multiple strands

Because capitalism systems rely on submission of entire classes, including women. Make them work hard and pay less possible. Most of the "women's work" are not even paid or recognized. Of course, the patriarchal religions play a big role here sustaining this system.

The women that claim to be equality rights fighting feminists are contradicting themselves by saying they fight for the rights for women to be equal to men and yet they continue to blame the so called "male dominated society" for suppressing and oppressing the rights of women. Accuses the male dominated society of the continuous sex crimes against women while they generalize all men by stating that all men are capable of sexually violating women putting both good men and the scumbags in the same category to make a baseless argument. Then on top of all that, they have the nerve to say that women are victims of the pay wage gap saying that in the United States of America, women are paid less than what men make. And yet in the United States, there are women who have succeeded themselves in male dominated, high executive positions. Feminist women think that men indulge in women being in the "second in line" positions. Meaning that to them men want women to follow what the man says and does. Now you know that's an utter bullshit analogy. They think we men just want women to be housewives, subordinates, and submissive that we men don't want to fancy in seeing women make as much or more money than men. That's absolutely false. The only type of men that don't want women to work and be a wage earner like the man are men that dedicate themselves in feeding their misogynist ego that "the man's home is his castle". These feminist women in my opinion live in ancient times because they think in the 21st Century, we men have the 1950s/1960s mentality of keeping women below us men. Many of us men aren't perfect human beings, but we don't seek to control women in any way. Now if women want to crusade such misogynist behavior from men, they should target the men that see women as less than human beings and believe women are inferior to men. I don't think women are inferior human beings because I feel like it's not my courtesy call to assume such misogynist ideologies about women. And second, if women were to make more money than me, I wouldn't give a shit. Hell, it'd benefit me greatly if women made more money than I do. Why should I stop and prevent women from making that bread?

There’s always been a strand of feminism that was very anti-male and full of misandry. There’s a good reason many feminists are despised

This!

@Chris Jones the wtf is "Kill All Men"?

@Chris Jones uh, sure. That's as based as a basehead. Mothers aren't going to kill sons, daughters aren't going to kill fathers, sisters aren't going to kill brothers, etc, etc. So in the end, it's not worth taking seriously.

Feminism is basically getting more privileges and easy life for women. It was never about gender equality. And it is not a static movement. Like every religious movements which are based on fallacies and bad reasoning skills, Feminism also will find more and more ways to be radical. It is like a drug. Feminist of another generation loses high in the previous version of Feminism, then they get more radical and become crazier. Feminism tries to make women men. Women realized that they cant handle being men. So they are getting rid of this toxic ideology.

Yeah activists in general can't create anything, they latch on to stuff made by men for men and slowly but always surely ruin it, it's why stuff like manga is very popular these days, lots of creative freedom and no preachy type writing

Don't men also depict each other the same way. Sounds like bad writing.

@@johnindigo5477 Yes because these male feminist simps are sellouts

​@@johnindigo5477tell me one movie where all women are seeing as useless and men as heroes

Amber has everything to do with feminism

For real though. Blindly supporting women just because they’re women makes Feminism look like a joke. It should be a case by case analysis. Women can still be awful people.

Discussing about Amber helps us to evolve feminism and mature more the fight.

When the world mocked her r*pe testimony to support her abuser using DARVO tactics, she seems very relevant.

It was ever about equal rights, it was about women wanting more rights than men, which is why they have been coddled and treated better than men for the few past decades.

@@maylabrown4584 That is completely false. As a matter of fact, it was women who during the beginnings of feminism mostly opposed to it. Men wanted to be unburdened from having to provide from the entire family, leave their children, etc., too. Feminism itself is about equality; it was also about accepting more stereotypical femenino traits (such as weakness) in men. That is why, while a few women started the feminist movement, men were initially their greatest supporters, not other women (In Europe, at least). So in a way, one of the purposes of feminism was for men to be able to be more "coddled" as you said.

@@infjelphabasupporter8416 It it was about equality from the start then it would have not been called feminism to begin with, it is exclusively for Women not Men. Weaker and/or Smarter Men than most joined their cause for political brownie points and that hasn't changed ever since then at the detriment to the livelihoods of the common man.

FACTS. I hate it when people say "oh feminism isn't what it once was". It is. Feminism itself cannot change and it would be a terrible thing if we forgot what it means and all that it stands for. But people often confound it with hembrism, and call it "modern feminism", which is extremely damaging to feminism. Most people have forgotten what feminism even means, which is crazy considering how essential it is in our society.

I think part of the backslash is just correction of the overcorrection... Does that make sense? The believe all women and all else have merit, I don't deny it. But it festered this "all women are victims, all men are perpetrators" mentality that actively hurts everyone. I just expect a more empathetic world for everyone, many women are starting to catch that they also have biases towards men and that men are also conditioned by patriarchy and are victims as well not the enemy. But is a hard long journey ahead of us.

Maybe it's because we had no say when they got rid of it , our rights were bought and everyone was lied to , how many laws were just put in without anyone's say , you vote for this law the caveat is this comes with it but were not gonna talk about it. Just before roe their was heavy regulations on abortion clinics , pregnancy was still criminalized in a event of a miscarriage, trigger laws on the books , and the lie that was use for the 1st set of abortion laws to shame woman to have babies .. I noticed a growing no. Of article of how millennials are selfish for having to few children and had the suspicion that they were slower chipping away at it . Oh its just after 15 weeks- it's just the woman who do drugs , it just going to the state to we can take this to the federal level and I think birth control , gay and interracial marriages should also be left up to the states .. and voting Democrat won't help your not gay your just Trans so let's transition you to the right sex , Trans woman have more of a voice and are being doted over then the actual woman they are assaulting and raping in woman's prisons , bathroom and locker rooms , dismantling female sports and taking away Scholar ships .. young girls are transitioning because they are not the stereotype .. they both are after the same thing , they want to make woman inferior to men and refer them as a breeder of some kind ..

I believe Taylor Swift did the $1 lawsuit you’ve referring to

@@BlairRyukyu was it? If so then I stand corrected and appreciate the reminder. It has been years so I forgot who did it.

Yeah, I’ve been reading on incidences of where false accusations have occurred and the consequences can be devastating e.g. Emmet Till. And I 100000% agree that accusations should be taken seriously because to lie about it is particularly egregious and heinous and I can’t imagine anyone doing that but for the life of me I have not found someone with a good response to my worry and concern. It’s always ‘only 2% are false’, like…that’s still 2% many (granted I also question whether this is a question for feminism alone to address or we as society)

I was supportive of the movement for a long time, but stopped when the movement became unwilling to acknowledge men's issues. I was abused as a teen. As a consequence, having no one to go to, nowhere to shelter, I dropped out of school, and spent years struggling. By the time I got my life together, I was past 26. That may not seem important to most, but the moment that drove me, of all things ,to attempt suicide was learning I had passed the age I could register for selective service. Not only was I unable to go to college without paying for it in cash, at out of state rates, I was barred from government work, and threatened with a huge fine for failing to register. The first time I heard about it was applying for school. I am a survivor, and made it through alot. But I will not support a movement that boycott men's abuse centers, that's unwilling to acknowledge that women can perpetrate abuse. That gatekeeps help by telling us we should go through them before we get help. I am not a predator, yet all men are continually treated like we are. There no me too for us.

@@sorejack I'm sorry for what happened to you but regarding your last sentence, I'll reply "that bear is not dangerous. Yet all bears are treated like they are". If you don't understand the grotesque of this, there's no hope that men can ever understand women's POV. To the "not all men" song I always reply "obviously, but enough of you that it warrants being scared/wary/careful/cold/aggressive/etc". There's only one bullet in the chamber. Are you willing to take a chance?

For what? The Feminists movement lack CONCRETE ideals. I'd argue that it's being eclipsed by the LBGTQ+ movement
