Why I laugh every time I hear about women's "oppression"

Man says to woman: "I just lost everything. My family, my house, my job, and now I'm headed overseas to die in war."

Woman responds: "Quit whining you little bitch. I dressed like a hooker and got wasted last night on men's dime. And as I left the bar without so much as a thank you, one of them had the nerve to call me a slut!"

Man responds: "Yeah, that's terrible. Go women's rights."

Just remember, it's not a zero-sum game guys! Even though men and boys are discriminated against in countless social and legal ways, and the only thing women have to complain about is being called a slut when they sleep around, because they face little to no real discrimination and have plenty of legal and social privileges without the same responsibilities as men, the appropriate response to a comment about men's rights is:

"What about the women? This is not a zero-sum game!"

I'm kidding, of course. Women really have just about no unique sexism to complain about. And so when I see someone respond to a men's issue with some form of "but what about the wimminz", such as "oh, but that happens to women too (I won't mention that it's extremely rare in women's case)", or "but what about this other miniscule issue women face", or even "but what about women in other countries", I can't help but laugh at the stupidity of it.

My real point is shut up about women's issues when I'm talking about men's. I won't waste time on women's issues when men have so many more serious issues that must be dealt with, anymore than I would waste time consoling the woman in the above story about being called a slut, when the man is the one who is really in need of help. Misandry is rampant in the western world, while true misogyny, true discrimination against or hatred of women, pales in comparison.

See also the following quotation at Reddit:

"Yeah, or as I mentioned in the AskFeminists circumcision thread, the response seems to be, 'Well, of course it's wrong that babies are being mutilated, but what do you expect us to do about it? We're too busy debating whether Summer's Eve's new ad campaign objectifies women.'"

Feminists have penis envy

I used to hear the word penis envy quite commonly when I was a kid, but I haven't heard it in a long time. Why? Because feminists have convinced most people it's "misogynistic". That's pretty fucking hilarious, considering that the entire reason feminism exists is penis envy. Ugly and/or old women who couldn't succeed with men and were envious of men's accomplishments decided they wanted to be just like men, since they weren't very good at being women, and that in order to do so they'd have to demonize real men so it would be easier to take their places.

So let's be honest. Feminists have penis envy. They hate men because we are successful, because we are masculine, because we make the vast majority of advances in science, technology, and the arts. They wish they were more like us, and they are ashamed of it. So they want to destroy men, boys, and masculinity and glorify women and femininity in an effort to make women appear superior to men, so that they need not feel ashamed of themselves.

Feminists don't realize there's nothing wrong with being female and making your own contributions to society without accepting unfair advantages over males. While they claim women are equal or better than men, they demand entitlements and special privileges for women, showing without a doubt that feminists actually believe women are inferior to men and need help to be "equal" to them. Now that's some real fucking misogyny.

Feminism = penis envy.

The Global Echo of Violent Misandry: Feminists largely to blame for Norway shootings

Feminists share a large part of the blame for the bombing and shootings in Norway, for creating a situation where Breivik could not grow up in a home with a proper father figure, due to anti-father feminist laws.

Feminists' hatred for males is creating men like Breivik. But as always, they want to put the blame men.

Excellent piece by Demonspawn on human nature and gender dynamics

In the piece, he demonstrates that feminism and women's privilege are a product of our human nature, which will not change any time soon. There are limits to what we can accomplish in fighting misandry.

Powerful piece over at FRS on women's fear of men (thanks feminism)

She fears me on the elevator, and that's just fine

What being a feminist means to me

A poster at TwoXChromosomes asked, and here is my reply:

Feminism is a sexist power movement for women at the expense of men, boys, families, and society at large. It assumes men are evil and always to blame, women are perfect and always innocent, and men should be more like women. In short, it is not egalitarian but instead a form of misandry, or hatred of males, seeking special privileges and entitlements for females.

This is easily demonstrated by what feminism has actually done and not the platitudes regarding equality. For example, even though only 40% of college graduates are male, feminists don't care. They'd prefer to focus on getting more women into college in STEM fields even though women are simply not as interested in STEM as men are. This demonstrates that feminism seeks special privileges for women and girls at the expense of men and boys.

Feminist advocates are also well known for falsifying statistics in order to push their hate movement onto the rest of us, such as the lie that 1 in 4 women on campus are raped and the lie that only 2% of rape accusations are false. Feminists ignore all the issues men and boys face, even the ones that feminism has directly caused, except where convenient to appear to be about equality. Due largely to feminist campaigning, in the courts today men who are accused of rape, domestic violence, or child abuse are assumed guilty until proven innocent, and the "family" courts routinely destroy good men based on feminism's lie that women are better parents and that men are always to blame.

Daenerys was raped!

I've only just started watching the HBO series, A Game of Thrones, based on the novel by George R. R. Martin. The portrayal thus far is excellent for the most part, but as of the first episode feminism has already reared its ugly head by changing a critical scene from the book in order to demonize men as rapists.

A self-labeled feminist has actually complained about the change, not realizing feminism is to blame: http://indignantfeministrants.wordpress.com/2011/05/14/why-hbo-why-why-ruin-a-game-of-thrones/

So I tuned into the HBO show, expecting to be pleased. And I was, for the most part. That is, until the scene of Khal Drogo’s and Daenerys Targaryen’s wedding night, where what unfolds (which I swore I had saw a clip for, I think off of Jezebel, but can’t find anymore) is a rape.

...

Today, I went back and started re-reading the book, and when I got to this scene, I was shocked. Not only does Khal Drogo spend an extensive amount of time trying to comfort Daenerys, but he actually asks her for consent. Yes, indeed. He explicitly asks her, “No?” when about to begin penetrative intercourse and she explicitly provides her consent, saying, “Yes.”

Now the book purist in me is DOUBLY angry. Screenwriters, you took a touching–even tender scene, and bungled it into a rape. Why would you do this!? What is up with the terrible obsession with the racialized rape fantasy? I’m disturbed and aggravated by this change. It would have been so much better to see their relation played out consensually. But no. Khal Drogo has to be even more “barbarian-ized.” Good job furthering the Other-ing of people based on the color of their skin.

Oh, right, because this is a race issue.

edit:

A rather lively commenter had the following to say:

I’ve only started watching this series, but with all the nudity and extreme violence, it’s quite telling that feminist’s rape hysteria would ruin an otherwise wonderful scene. These crazy feminists want to make all sex into rape, and to even suggest that, yes, even a woman forced into a marriage might CONSENT to it and ENJOY it in the end is too much for their little brains to handle. Of COURSE they must demonize male sexuality, because that’s what feminists are all about – demonizing boys, men, and masculinity in order to gain power for their insane worldview.

Thanks for posting this article. I Google searched it to find out if anyone else was paying attention. I’ll be posting this at Reddit.com/r/MensRights.

It seems you’re a bit confused – not surprising for a feminist, of course. The reason they ruined this scene is precisely due to feminists – can you imagine how much they would have protested if they had displayed Daenarys *consenting* to a forced marriage? They would have said the screenwriters were all “rape apologists”! And THAT is why the screenwriters ruined a perfectly good scene. FEMINISM.

Here’s another example of what feminists would just *love* to define as rape: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSHinT0i6G4

How far our society has fallen since even 1980. Thanks, feminism!

I couldn't agree more.

another edit:

I thought I'd share a few more choice quotations from the thread:

Feminism has created a culture where male sexuality is demonized and women are always victims, where all heterosexual sex is considered rape. It’s that simple. If you don’t understand that, you don’t understand feminism.

and

I really do think it’s sad that we have so many people today who can’t connect the dots. How could someone not realize that today’s feminized society would react with anger if a woman was shown to enjoy sex with a man who has basically forced marriage upon her? What, women can enjoy sex even when they’re not in control, even if they were forced into it? What, a woman would actually start to fall in love and become the willing sextoy of a man who forced her to marry him? But I thought all women were strong and independent, and never like to be dominated? She has to be a victim, not a willing participant, because according to feminism, all women are victims, and all men are perpetrators.

Feminism certainly is a contributor, but it's not entirely to blame. More on this in my new article, Patriarchy and the low-born male.
