1. The use of false or outdated statistics isn’t exactly admirable

2. I dislike the victim complex feminists perpetuate

3. Ignoring the male victims or female perpetrators of domestic or sexual violence isn’t something I want to support

4. Doing nothing to help the women who actually face oppression but then using their struggles to guilt trip people who don’t call themselves feminists… yeah no thanks

5. Mocking people who say “not all men” in response to negative action from a man but then saying “not all feminists” when people call out the negative actions from a feminist

6. Trying to take credit for the action of 20th century feminists - a time when women were widely disadvantaged across the developed world

7. Most feminists are some of the most privileged people in the world yet have the audacity to whine about how society is working against them

8. Misandry. Rampant misandry.

9. Claiming to be a movement that will help men too, but then doing nothing to acknowledge the problems that men face

So while I believe in gender equality, I don’t believe in first-world feminism as a whole. Individual feminists may be doing genuine work to better society, and that’s great. Some feminist campaigns may actually be necessary, and if so I’ll support them. But as a whole feminism has mutated into something that I don’t wish to associate myself with.

There is absolutely nothing to stop women from achieving great things; yes, there are some misogynists out there and people who don’t believe women can achieve what men can. Which makes it all the more fun to prove them wrong.
