We had these convos on here before. An example, the first battered men’s shelter in Canada, Earl Silverman, was stopped by feminist. They harassed Earl and pressured the government not to fund the program as they felt any resources going to battered men was resources that could have gone to battered women.

The radfems that are the obnoxiously loud minority deter lots of young men and as a result they turn to misogynistic influencers cause at least they pretend to care about them when all they get from the radfems is the idea that women hate men simply for being born men

That’s what it started off as. We like that. We agree with that. Unfortunately, it’s been hijacked by the “kill all men” people. That is something we don’t like.

It’s just the crazy people who are unfortunately very loud on social media and the internet in general. If that was more widely condemned by feminists rather than ignored or even defended I think more men would be less confused about it

The inception of feminism was birthed out of the desire to destroy the family unit and increase profits, you do not know what you speak of.

The earliest feminist literature and promoters from the late 1800s who sought to bring women out of the house and into the workforce so that the labor market would be flooded with new labor, thereby crashing the value of labor via stagnating wages/salaries amidst inflation.

I'm well aware of Earl Sliverman and it's a heartbreaking story. I however do believe it wasn't a single feminis that stopped his shelter but the Canadian government failed to give him the funding he needed. I think also it was a result of just the time period. There wasn't as much support back in the early 2000s/late 90s for male DV victims as there is now. I'm not saying it was okay, but I think things are a bit better now.

Plus people only start families when they have the time to, so when women are forced into the workforce by virtue of the effective death of the single income household and social conditioning they often opt to focus on their career first and put off starting a family often until it is too late. Even when working women do start a family they are forced to offload the responsibility of child care during working hours, eroding the sacred bond between mother and child.

You are correct, not all feminists are women supremacists and not all BLM supporters are black supremacists, but it's possible to be both and to use the tools of one movement to achieve the goals of another. I think you've missed that.

You are failing to mention a major reason why women went into the workforce was because the men were away at war and the economy was collapsing. They needed people to work. I also don't understand especially from a male POV why the death of the single income household is a problem? Wouldn't it be less pressure on you the man to not have to spend the majority of your time working to support your family and you and your wife could split the time spent working and create that bond with your kids?

The attempts to get women into the workforce and the origins of feminism as a social movement existed long before the world wars, the war just provided the catalyst. I seriously disagree about the death of single income households being a good thing for either women or men, as it has significantly increased the required working hours to maintain a household by having both parents work and get home to work on the house rather than having foreign and domestic affairs handled separately by...

it's also never "too late" to start a family. i don't see like what you're saying on how feminism killed the family unit, when family unit is a vauge term that could really mean anything depending on the person and i also think it's a good thing that women or men are not forced to because a family unit before they are ready. Plus not everyone wants kids and that's okay. I can kinda see what you're saying about the profits but i don't see how the social aspect of women becoming more of a leader

Its wasnt a single feminist but a several. They launched a harassment campaign against him an pressured elected officials in the canadian government to stop them from giving him funding.

okay well first of all taking on a burden of overworking yourself shouldn't make you a "good" man. and secondly, your reasoning isn't very inclusive to families that don't fit a typical husband and wife unit. what if they're two wives? or two husbands? or what if a couple doesn't want kids? or what if they do but the women wants to work and the father wants to stay home? I'm just saying I feel like feminism might've destroyed the traditional family unit which isn't a bad thing imo.

Green: Women can't have children forever, my mother has said she wanted more kids but waited too long.

Orange: I agree, but I don't think they should be payed the same as men working to support their whole family on their single income alone. I'll concede women's ability to own property and other gains in ownership were a net positive. Red: Yes, but i would argue the reason the proportion of women wanting kids has tanked is from the undesirability of being a working mother vs stay at home and social conditioning to put career first.

Purple: It's not about leadership, it's about the additional responsibility of having to be a working mother placing extra undue stress on both husband and wife. Ideally men lead in foreign affairs while women are the heads of all domestic affairs.

but that's not ideal for everyone, and i don't think social conditioning is why women aren't wanting kids, like plenty of women have kids there is a whole trend called Trad Wife of like 22 year old women married with 5+ kids. I don't think that is dying, i think a lot of women now are just passionate abt their careers.

Relationships are not purely transactional so it is true that in the event that either husband or wife are stressed/sick/or in need of general rest, their partner will take off some of the weight of responsibility by helping with the other's tasks. The default allocation of responsibility is different in different relationships but generally the man working make money and the woman working to upkeep the household is the tried and true loose template to base things on.

I think just bc something is "tried and true" doesn't mean it's not problematic or something we as modern day people should still adhere too. Both grown men and women should be responsible for doing his own laundry, packing his lunch, buying groceries or cooking dinner. That's part of why the single income household i think is problematic bc it does create transactional relationships and often times the man doesn't know how to take care of himself bc his wife does everything.

The death of the single income household doesn’t mean that men get to work less; it just means that instead of one person working full time being able to afford a house; now they need TWO people working full time to afford the same thing.
