Also, if you're so antifeminist, how come the people on this site aren't shunning you as some kind of misogynist, and yet they constantly do that to me? Again, this is a fine example of SJW hypocrisy.


I can't really speak for the people here, but I find generally in my life that this is true. I do not hide my loathing of feminism. I do not hide my loathing of Islam either. I also have no time for the anti-white, anti-male, anti-Jew, anti-Christian and anti-western historical revisionism that so many people spew out. Why am I not hated for this? I do not know. You would have to ask the people here why they seem to tolerate me... I like to think it's because I use a bit of humour, don't get personal in my remarks to others for the most part, and am prepared to accept that me and people like me are far from perfect. But, maybe it's just that they think it is not worthwhile hating me

Sorry, just want to add something here. When feminism means that men and women deserve to be treated with respect, and that men and women are of equal value and equal worth, then, I am as pro-feminist as you are going to get. There is no sense in which women are of less value or worth than men. However, men and women are different. Despite what modern feminism tries to tell us, men and women are not identical. And I think we all know this.

However, when feminism blames an evil patriarchy for the oppression of women today, my tolerance for feminism plummets to zero.

Women are treated far more favourably by the law with less prison time for the same crime, they generally do way better in family law disputes, are are massively over represented in cancer research funding, despite cancer affecting men at the same or higher rates.

As a teacher here in Australia, I know damned well the education system is geared heavily towards girls which is why boys do so badly in it.

I know women are favoured in university, which is why more women go.

I know the wage gap is a blatant, obvious lie. If women were paid less for the same job, employers would employ women rather than men. It is in fact, illegal to pay men and women differently.

To me, feminism is just another group of people saying, "Me! Me! Me!" and selfishly pursuing their own agenda. I do not care who or what you are, when you do that you lose my support. Men and women are supposed to work together for the good of each other, the good of children, and the good of society. These days we are more like enemies than friends, and that is sad. I work with messed up kids from screwed up usually single parent (fatherless) homes, so I see how well the selfish modern feminism works - it is killing the west at a rapid rate. Are men any better? Not really. Too many men treat women like crap and want nothing to do with their children.

We need to pull our heads out of our collective sphincters. We need to stop seeing each other as enemies. We need to start acting for the good of someone other than ourselves, and we need to start taking responsibility for our choices and actions, quit blaming everyone else, figure out that life is not fair, that people are more important than things, that love is better than hate, that fame and wealth are not the be all and end all of all things, and that all people have value. I can't see it happening though.

But don't women generally always get stuck looking after the kids, and having to rely on their husbands for alimony? Sounds like the men have it better in this scenario.


Well, that is one way you can look at it. Another way is to look at it from the viewpoint that a man often ends up working and paying a large sum of money each pay cheque for kids he doesn't see very much, to a woman who has no interest in working or looking after the kids. I virtually specialise in working with kids from single mum homes. It does skew my view somewhat I suppose.

But generally, if a woman wants the kids, she gets them. Her parenting skills are irrelevant.

@NNewt84 Said
In my personal experience, boys tend to be less studious than girls. When I was in school, I was always slacking off and not really focusing on doing schoolwork, and just playing games on the computer. And I'm pretty certain there are girls who do this as well, so why are you making it a gendered issue?


Education favours girls in lots of ways. Reading material is generally slanted towards girls, most teachers are women (especially in younger year levels and primary schools), the education system tends to favour those who can sit still, are relatively docile etc. many writing tasks are about exploring feelings. Rough and violent play is generally banned in schools now. Competitive sport and competition generally is being discouraged. As a rule, this is not good for young boys.

I am hardly a muppet, yet I failed every year of school from around the age 10 because of the intensity with which I loathed school, and dropped out at 14. I then taught myself, went to university, and finished at or near the top of the class in almost every subject (I was even offered membership in some International Society for successful university nerds :D ). Schools are less boy friendly now than they were when I was a student, and many boys are failing as a result.

In my classes, boys tend to do well. I put this down to the fact that I am somewhat "blokey" and respond to boys smart alec comments positively, and deliberately set out to make my work as boy friendly as possible (and yes, girls also do well in my classes).

@NNewt84 Said
And guess what? I also have a male cousin who got into uni, so again, this isn't a gendered issue - stop making it a gendered issue.


Where men outnumber women in a field that women desire, the modern feminist will cry "sexism," and "patriarchy," without a moment of hesitation, why should I do differently? That said, the reason girls are entering university in larger numbers than men is not because men are dumb, but because schools tend to favour girls.

@NNewt84 Said
However, I will agree that the wage gap is bulls***. Honestly, you'd think feminists would actually focus on, you know, empowering women, instead of making them feel sorry for themselves.


Absolutely. But far worse from my perspective is the fact that the lie about the gender war is killing the west quite rapidly. Most people do not even see it. We are unbreeding ourselves out of existence. We have been divided and conquered. I am not sure what stuns me more, how blatant it is, or how many people fail to see it.

Maybe because women are, on average, more inclined to working with children? Funny how antifeminists often use the sexual dimorphism argument against feminists, and yet when it can be used against them, they often ignore it.

Now, I'm not saying men shouldn't be teachers, they really should if they want to - but that doesn't change the fact that women are slightly more cut out for the job. It's the same reason there are more male construction workers - different sexes are suited for different jobs.


I am not meaning to be rude, but please don't bother playing games with me. At no point in anything I have said to you do I say, "All men" or "all women" or, "all boys," or "all girls". To help us to have a constructive discussion, please just accept that I am not a moron, I understand nuance, and can recognise variation within members of a given group.

Whatever the reason for women entering teaching in greater numbers than men, it does not change the fact that teaching is tailored more towards girls than boys.

@NNewt84 Said
Or tomboys either. Seriously, has no-one ever heard of tomboys these days? Again, you're making this a gendered issue when it really isn't - at least not to the extent you're making it out to be.


And again, on the gender bell curve, even with young boys being feminised, boys still tend to be more competitive and into 'violent' forms of play than girls.

@NNewt84 Said
Implying that every female teacher is some no-nonsense hard-ass who can't take a joke.


Not at all. It is more the case that teaching is based more around feelings than women being hard a** teachers, and tends more towards co-operative than competitive learning environments. This type of learning tends to favour girls over boys.

@NNewt84 Said
Well, you're not the only one. Whenever there's sexism against men, there's always a huge outcry for that too - but everyone's just some special snowflake nowadays, who thinks that only their sex faces discrimination, when in reality, we all face at least a little bit of it.


Yep. People have an amazing ability to think that life is unfairly unfair to them while being much better for others. That is my main criticism of modern feminism, in fact. It tends to be little more than a hateful, racist, sexist and incredibly selfish movement that wrongly thinks being a man is all beer and skittles while women are horrendously oppressed. The truth is more like - no women in human history have been as pampered as women are in westernised countries. The way so many modern feminists bleat, you would think they were living in Saudi Arabia, Africa, much of Asia or the sub continent.

I hardly claim that life for women in the west is perfect, but life is not perfect for men either. Crap happens. We should not expect everything to be nice and fair. We should not expect people to care about our feelings. We should not expect our every whim to be catered to. We should expect people to be at least as self obsessed as we are ourselves. And, we should also try removing our heads from our own sphincters once in a while and think about other people instead of ourselves.

@NNewt84 Said
Well, obviously, it is a problem that we have to solve, but... unbreeding ourselves out of existence? A bit dramatic, don't you think?


No. In western nations now, population demographics makes it quite clear that the west is in serious trouble. In some places in Europe, the average births per woman is around 1.3 - 1.4. 2.1 births is required to just maintain population levels. Within a few generations, the west's numbers will have plummeted.

BobF don't mind @NNewt84 too much. It is pretty apparent that he has dissociative personality disorder coupled with a severe handicap the inability to understand the written word.

How was this in any way a joke? There's no set-up, no punchline, nothing. You clearly don't understand humour.

Here. let me show you how it's done:

What do you call a beautiful woman, with pristine silky hair, a picture perfect body and a voice like an angel, who just gave you the best night of sex your life?

A cab, so you can roll over and get some sleep.
