"The MRM is considered to be a backlash or counter-movement to feminism, often as a result of a perceived threat to traditional gender roles."

If the last part of this sentence doesn't explain it than I don't know what will. Also, the quote is from the wikipedia article on the MRM and it is cited. Check it out if you really want to defend yourself, I guess.

You don't understand the quote lol

You don't understand the quote lol

Yes, I do. "perceived as a threat to traditional gender roles," is referring to how the MRM started because they feared that Feminism is destroying traditional gender roles, which it is. It started because it's against Feminism, not because it wants to coincide with it. If they did want to coincide, it'd be a branch of Feminism, not a counter movement.

(also i started reading the article more and apparently the early parts of the mrm opposed the idea women in the workforce, which makes sense)

now that i think of it I like the sound of Men's Feminism. too bad it will never be a thing, much like how MOGS (marginalized orientations, genders, and lovees) will never replace LGBT+.

This is a common fear men seem to hold when it comes to feminism. Assuming we're talking about feminism in the most objective way possible, it has nothing to do with masculinity. It's not making it better or worse. And masculinity is fine the way it is. The way men treated isn't.
really, because pretty soon a feminist organization is releasing a documentary under the guise of helping boys when literally all it is doing is calling masculine culter "toxic" and why people need to become more feminine. of course it isn't released yet so i guess we'll have to see what they really have to say.
first of all how can smashing the patriarchy happen in one day

you are literally changing the way people view society
Ha Ha Ha Ha that is what i meant
dont be a smartass
And, I don't think that will happen if people acknowledge that the patriarchy affects men too, which I agree is something that isn't entirely mainstream. It should be, though.
it really shouldn't. i have explained why blaming men's problems on men is bullstuff.
Mind you, I am always careful in my wording to differentiate between femininity and womanhood. Especially with the new way people perceive gender (as in a spectrum rather than a binary system), femininity refers to both men and women. It may primarily refer to women, but that's because most people are cisgendered. I believe in advancing femininity, not just women.
yeah but if a guy identifies as a women they are technically a woman so i mean i mostly used it as an encompassing term
I don't think people will just say "loveism is over" ever. Racism still isn't "over." There will always be a new issue that surfaces, because we can never reach true equality.
so then it's a good thing that we have the mrm and actual equality movements working for men's rights now instead of everyone waiting for the fabled "equality" to happen sometime in the future.
the essay you wrote doesn't make too much sense but i get your point and will kindly disagree and add nothing more to that
yeah the stuff you write doesn't make too much sense either so

also i shouldn't have really implied that i believe loveism will be over one day because it really won't but it was more of a theoretical situation i was laying out

forget i like quoted your entire post in one of those hold on look away

ok look now

also im probably about to fall asleep so if i dont reply that's why

lol forget off childofdarkness
seriously

tl;dr child of darkness doesn't understand that feminine and female are two different thinks and things that subjectivity is better than objectivity and that people who think taking a double dose of Tylenol will kill them are the bravest of them all

i mean childofdarkness likes to hop on every feminist thread insisting "#notallfeminists" but they also agree with most of the stuff the "tumblr feminists" believe

i always knew child was a sjw, mentioning how gay relationships weren't in tomodachi life and how a politically incorrect joke can offend people, now to this

i'll wait for your edit but i meant "in the most objective way possible," was meant to be understood as simply "empowering femininity and destroying the patriarchy."

If this is what the documentary is doing, then that's wrong. If they're saying it's OK to be effeminate or something, then it's a totally different story.

and I should also add that while it was men who created the patriarchy, saying that "men are affected by the patriarchy" is not the same as blaming the problems of men on men. I want to say something along the lines of "not all men," but I think we know why I won't.

yeah but if a guy identifies as a women they are technically a woman so i mean i mostly used it as an encompassing term

What about non-binary people or cisgendered people? You can still be more effeminate than what the traditional gender role of your love without identifying as the opposite love.

ok look now

Fair enough, I wanted to stop an hour ago but it's hard for me. Gender-related issues are just that kind of topic for me.

lol forget off childofdarkness
seriously

wow mene!!!!

Seriously why should I forget off. Because I disagree with a belief I think is problematic? I have the argumentative skills of a chair, I know, but I'm still going to justify my opinion rather than argue, which I realize never works out but w/e.

tl;dr child of darkness doesn't understand that feminine and female are two different thinks and things that subjectivity is better than objectivity and that people who think taking a double dose of Tylenol will kill them are the bravest of them all

what

where did you get half of that from

doesn't understand that feminine and female are two different thinks

haven't i been asserting the complete opposite

things that subjectivity is better than objectivity

i never said that directly

it's good to be objective, but you also need subjectivity in certain cases. They're equal.

people who think taking a double dose of Tylenol will kill them are the bravest of them all

Stopping yourself from committing Self Delete isn't the same thing as doing it wrong?

i mean childofdarkness likes to hop on every feminist thread insisting "#notallfeminists" but they also agree with most of the stuff the "tumblr feminists" believe

I thought tumblr feminism was believing that men should die in a hole? I guess I'm a tumblr feminist, whoop dee doo.

i always knew child was a sjw, mentioning how gay relationships weren't in tomodachi life and how a politically incorrect joke can offend people, now to this

i don't think politically incorrect jokes are offensive in most contexts though?? What are you referring to? The fact that I think it's wrong to hold ableist beliefs??

Because you don't like admitting other parties might have good points?

If they're different, then you can be for one and not the other, and it makes complete sense.

i never said that directly

Nah, they're not.

Sure they're not the same. But in these girls cases, it's a failure.


add me i guess

also repost since it got ignored last time
