anti-feminist: we need to get rid of feminism because it doesn’t help male rape victims
actual real male rape victim: feminism has helped by telling me that i didn’t deserve it any more than any woman would and that the
pressures put on my gender to enjoy sex are socially constructed and do not define me.
anti-feminist:
anti-feminist: okay but feminism makes it so that fathers have a harder time winning custody
actual father of somebody who was out with an abuse mother: feminism seeks to destroy the idea that mothers are the best ones to care for children, and that their role is more than just that of a mother. i need feminism because I would have actually been a better parent for my child to have been placed under the custody of.
anti-feminist:
anti-feminist: well feminism makes guys pay for the meal and makes women never have to do anything for it
actual male who doesn’t want to pay every date: actually, the idea that i have to provide for both myself and my female companions is actually very harmful because it suggests that i’m inherently stronger than they are and that i have to be able to be strong at all times. this is harmful to me because it forces dangerous roles and it’s also dangerous to women everywhere because it paints them as weaker than their male friends. I need feminism to dismantle these built-up illustrations of my gender being hypermasculine.
anti-feminist:
anti-feminist: well what about male beauty standards? I have to be muscular and hot that’s unfair for men too, and i’ve never seen a feminist complain about THAT
men who are actually bothered by these standards: the eventual breaking down of gender stereotypes that feminism seeks to do will result in reduced roles for both men and women, causing both of those genders to have fewer beauty standards to adhere to.
anti-feminist:
anti-feminist: yea well a feminist called me out for being sexist once so i don’t like it
the stereotype that women talk more than men is infinitely amusing to me because men are literally incapable of shutting the fuck up
i hope this post gets popular enough that i hurt a man’s feelings
It’s not a stereotype it’s a proven fact you femanazi piece of shit.
lmao there it is
You wanna talk proven facts? This shit’s been done, son: researcher Dale Spender in Australia used audio and video tape to independently evaluate who talked the most in mixed-gender university classroom discussions. Regardless of the gender ratio of the students, whether the instructor was deliberately trying to encourage female participation or not, men always talked more–whether the metric was minutes of talking or number of words spoken.
Moreover, men literally have no clue how much they talk. When Spender asked students to evaluate their perception of who talked more in a given discussion, women were pretty accurate; but men perceived the discussion as being “equal” when women talked only 15% of the time, and the discussion as being dominated by women if they talked only 30% of the time.
Spender’s conclusion, if I may parahprase: you only think we talk too much because you’d rather we were silent.
Don’t fuck with me, asshole, I’m a scientist.
Edit: The researcher in question is Dale Spender and the original publication of this research was called Man Made Language (1980).
