Men's rights activist Sydney Watson has slammed Clementine Ford's proposal that straight women are better off living without men, and said the staunch feminist has 'zero qualifications in this area.'

Watson traded barbs with Ford as the diehard feminist tours around Australia to promote her latest book, 'Boys will be Boys.'

The book attacks 'toxic masculinity' and talks about how the world enables men to 'do deeply sh***y things,' according to Ford.

'I don't really understand how we can, again, blame masculinity for all the ills in the world,' Watson said.

'I don't think men are drawn to bad behaviour just because they're men.

'There are always other factors that determine behaviour, most of which come from childhood and 'nurture'.'

Watson is a diehard advocate for men's rights and recently led the March for Men at Federation Square in Melbourne.

She has taken particular aim at Ford, as the feminist pushes to divide men and women.

'Men and women are brilliant together,' she said.

'I hate that feminists always want people to deviate from what feels most natural to them.'

In her book, Ford proposes that straight women should only invite men to their homes 'occasionally' and as 'guests.'

She argued that the imbalance of domestic labour between a man and woman only fuelled the assumptions a child made about gendered roles.

Watson: 'I don't think men are drawn to bad behaviouor just because they're men. There are always other factors that determine behaviour, most of which come from childhood and 'nurture''

'There is nothing wrong with traditional roles, especially if a couple has decided that is how they want to structure their lives,' Watson said.

'This new-wave idea that we're better apart is nonsense and is simply borne out of unfounded academia.

'I grew up in a nuclear family, with parents who were in traditional roles and I’m quite career driven.

'So, I’m the case in point.'

Watson: 'I don't want to live in a world where men are shamed for being men and women are expected to live alone. 'Clementine (pictured) can have that lifestyle ALL [sic] to herself. No thank you'

Watson went on to say that the attacks against men only widened the already great divide between the genders.

'We are better off accepting that we're different, that these differences will always exist, but there's nothing wrong with them.

'Mothers and fathers are brilliant together. Men and women are brilliant together.

'I don't want to live in a world where men are shamed for being men and women are expected to live alone.

'Clementine can have that lifestyle ALL [sic] to herself. No thank you.'

An attempt was made to contact Ford for comment, but she made no response.
