i-dont-need-feminism: nintenpleasedont: thespectacularspider-girl: i-dont-need-feminism: nintenpleasedont: if youre a woman who doesnt believe she needs feminism, I cant be your friend I don’t understand this mentality, I really don’t. Why does politics have to come into your personal relationships? Its okay, if… it’s not just a disagreement, it’s practically a moral thing. women need rights and feminism is what got them those rights. If you don’t believe in equality I can’t be your friend. Bitch, you’re addressing a lesbian and a bisexual. Step the fuck off with your weak analogies.



Answer me this: what rights do women need that they do not have? equal pay, the right to control our bodies (abortions, birth control, w/e), and women are of course never thought of as equal to men. And that’s all I want. Equality. Because I’m not hating on men or anything and I don’t know why you’re defending anything bc I feel like we want the same thing.

1. Women are payed the same as men for the same job and the same hours. The “25% less” figure is actually from national averages, which doesn’t account for different jobs, hours worked, overtime worked, etc. Do you know why this is? Because men are more likely to work overtime, work jobs that involve high travel times or take time away from family life or work jobs with hazard pay. Women, on the other hand, often take jobs that allow them to stay with their families, are flexible and work fewer hours.

1: Addendum - Unwed women with no children are more highly paid than men in the same situation. On average. So, to be brutally honest, the exact OPPOSITE of what you’re saying is true.

2. Women can have abortions and birth control. The issue is if you get it paid for, where you can get it and how long until you can get it. Compared to that of men, who have no reproductive rights, no say in abortion, are legally bound to pay child support, are highly disadvantaged in custody cases. Women have more autonomy over their bodies in regards to childbirth than men do. By far.

3. Women are thought of as equal to men. Just because you perceive it to be doesn’t make it so. In fact, FEMINISM is the one who is handicapping women emotionally, telling them they’re victims, telling them they’re specially weak and then using those women for political gain.

Are you aware that men are the victims of domestic abuse in half the cases? Except men don’t have men’s shelters and the resources for helping them. Oh, and the Duluth model forces the police to arrest men, even if they’re the victims of the domestic incident.

Or are you aware that men are the ones who overwhelmingly lead in workplace deaths, suicides, being the victims of violent crime and homelessness?

Or are you aware that rape isn’t counted as rape when a woman rapes a man? That’s right. A feminist named Marry Koss made it so men can’t be raped by women. But if we DO account for that, guess what? Men and women are raped nearly the exact same amount, potentially with men being raped MORE because the stats for men don’t count “drug induced rape” and “attempted rape”, while women’s do.

If anything, women are being treated BETTER than men most of the time. And you have the gall to prop them up as some golden standard to be achieved, blissfully unaware of their suffering and YOUR advantages in society.

You want to know why I’m not a feminist?

How about feminism erasing the homophobia I got from women in my life? How about feminism erasing my rape at the hands of my girlfriend? How about feminism introducing political lesbianism, which cheapens and insults my being a lesbian.

But more importantly, how about the fact that I’m actually fucking aware of the national statistics, the reality of the situation and not intent to be a victim. How about you fucking go out and look at what really is happening and realize that you’ve been lied to by feminism. How about you realize that you’re just contributing to the cult-like behavior that feminists are now creating.

How about you look at the goddamn laws and policies being backed by feminists. How about you look at the statements made by leading feminist media and lobbying groups? How about you actually see what the fuck you’re supporting instead of blindly swallowing everything they shovel down your throat?

Of course you don’t want to be my friend. Cults don’t like it when you have interaction with people outside the group. They don’t like it when you talk to people who have been on the inside and gotten out.
