Some Things I Hate About Feminism

Recently I became aware of the current hashtag trend #womenagainstfeminism and the poplular http://womenagainstfeminism.tumblr.com/. The overwhelming feminist response has been that these women have no idea what they are talking about. They are a joke. They are not to be taken seriously.

I completely disagree. Many of the #womenagainstfeminism have valid points about the flaws in modern feminism. This article at Time does an excellant job of explaining the valid points they make. It's called Stop Fem-Splaining: What 'Women Against Feminsm' Get Right.

Because I'm not quite as eloquent I will share my list of things I hate about feminism using a list of tweets as examples.

Example 1: The idea that men shouldn't have a voice.

Example 2: The belief that rape only happens to women and only by men.

Example 3: Some feminists use feminism as a means to bully others.

Example 4: Many feminists are angry at men just for being men.

Example 5: Feminists bashing other feminists because of race or nationality.

Example 6: Feminists not allowing non-feminists to criticize feminism.

Example 7: Feminists having extremist attitudes or ideas they force on everyone else.

Example 8: The hashtag trend #bringbackourgirls completely ignored the death of Nigerian boys

Example 9: Feminists treating unborn babies as part of their own body or property.

Example 10: The belief that misandry isn't real.

Example 11: Feminism sometimes implies every woman is a victim.

Example 12: Feminists sometimes think women are better.
