Obama has broken down our USA. The democrats can not be that dumb not to see it. No matter if I were a republican or a democrat, I have eyes to see what Obama has done .. He spends and spends . He set out to do what he has done to our country.We have another year to see how much more he will do to hurt us. God help all of us. We will never get our beautiful USA out of what he did..

It is always the same denial process that feminists take They must have some class where they learn the same verbatim speech that no one believes anymore as it's so much nonsense. To claim that feminism is for equality is the first lie, to claim that feminism is not a hate movement is the second, to claim that feminism helps men is the third.

So within one paragraph we have the same denials as we have heard for 40 plus years and yet they still persist with it. What manner of intelligence must one possess to continue in that mentality and expect sane, thinking human beings to swallow it is beyond my comprehension. Feminism is finished and it has to go. Stop Funding Feminism. It is a sexist, male-hating movement that should no longer exist..

It definitely play a big part in destroying the West.. Every since feminism plagued the West we see a dramatic/huge increase in divorce, broken families, teenage pregnancy, crimes, abortions (50+ millions), rampant misandry etc..etc.. and tons of other social ills in the West. Is that just a mere "coincidence"? Highly doubt it.

Feminism simply destroys anything it lay its dirty hand on. Like a plague. Any society that is foolish enough to adopt the feminist ideology tend to have many social ills and go down the drain pretty fast.

Of course feminism isn't to blame for every single thing; but that in no way change the fact that it is clearly a sexist hate movement that has many negative impact on our society.

Regretfully, this is more common than it should be. Discrimination like that in custody cases stems from the societal assumption that women should always be charged with taking care of the children. It follows the rhetoric that women are naturally more nurturing, should remain in the home, and have the sole responsibility of caring for children. Kind of like the rhetoric you are using. If you're going to insist on keeping women in a singular gender role, you should expect that you will be locked out of it. It is an assumption made on gender, and I'm sorry you suffered for it. Also, you might be pleased to know this is an issue on the masculinist agenda. Perhaps you should look into it?

Try not to make generalizations of a whole group based off a few experiences. If woman were assaulting you for being male, they obviously aren't feminists in the technical, true sense. Feminists fight for tolerance and equality for everyone. Not just ourselves.

No one has ever called rushing into help a woman "violent" behavior. And, if what you're saying is true, than the circumstances of rape must have skyrocketed in recent times now that men are now too scared to protect us on the streets. This isn't so.

And I'm appalled by your comparison of feminism to the activities of the Nazi party. I will emphasize the definition of a feminist is someone who strives for gender equality. Feminists do not strive to destroy men; there is no genocide underway. It is an ignorant and misguided analogy. You obviously don't know what you're talking about.

And, yes, men can be feminists. Just as females can be masculinists. (That would be me, for one.) Your interpretation of male feminists must be based off the gimmicks you have used to pick up women. Not everyone is as close-minded as you are.

Men passed the 19th amendment. Men listened to feminists and caved in to their demands. This feminist sewer exists because men permit it to exist. when men get tired of the nonsense, it will end.

Just killing some in between class time on Digg and I found your article . Not usually what I desire to examine, but it surely was absolutely worth my time. Thanks.

-Just one question: has anyone reading this ever had a teacher tell you you can't do something just because of your sex?

I had my children taken away from me because I was male.

That is precisely the kind of abuses that men are dealing with right now from rampant feminism.

-Along with the many times I've had men wolf whistling or calling out to me from cars saying some very digrading things

I have had similarly degrading things called out to me by lesbian feminist activists. at least in your case, they were probably complementary!

-Additionally, I don't always feel safe walking around my college campus. A lot of guys have an aggressive attatude towards women.

50 years ago, before feminism constantly degraded males, you would have been utterly safe walking around a campus... at the first cry for help, a dozen men would leap to your defense. Now, feminism has 'cured' this 'violent' behavior to the point where males are terrified to even consider getting involved.

-everyone - girls included- said that women and men should be drafted and put on the front lines.

That would be fair, except that the realities of combat mean that physical demands may be made which a majority of women cannot meet. can you not see the dichotomy between the feminist rant that 'men are violent' and then the claims that 'women should be in combat'? why not simply allow men to be in violent combat, if that is what they are supposed to do so well?

-I just wanted to add my two-bits. I'm a young feminist, well-rounded and open minded, who hopes you read this and can see a different point of view.

Simply the fact that you declare yourself as a feminist makes me doubt your open mindedness.

-P.S. most women my age are too affraide to label themselves as feminist because it stirs this kind of reaction. Their scared people (men) will assume their angry or gay. That's crap in my opinion.

That's actually incorrect. There have been an enormous number of blatant crimes against men which are directly the result of feminists. Labeling yourself as a 'good' feminist is a lot like labeling yourself as a 'good' nazi... You would do well to discard the label and all of the associated crimes that come with it and come up with a new label for yourself if you do not intend to accept every single premise of feminism. Would you call yourself a 'catholic' if you didn't believe Jesus christ existed? I suggest trying to find a new group to associate yourself with that does not proudly proclaim that 'every man is born a violent rapist'

-I have several great guy friends, and a current, steady boyfriend who all consider themselves feminist.

No, they don't. They call themselves feminists because they are either having sex with you, gay, or they want to have sex with you. I don't usually like being that blunt, but these are the lengths that males are often driven to nowadays to satisfy their needs. Don't bother asking them, they will deny it if they have any brains.

We will never stop fighting for our rights? You make it sound like we don't already have them, and in spades. I am a 32 year old woman with a husband, four kids, a college education, and I have served ten years in the military. You could safely say that I have access to all the things the "feminist" movement was crusading to earn. The problem is that once they got what they wanted, there was nowhere to go. We were left with thousands of strong, fired up, angry women who no longer had a cause to fight for.

It reminds me of a line from the end of The Princess Bride, where Inigo Montoya has finally found and killed the six-fingered man. He says, "Revenge has become my whole life. Now that's it's over, I don't know what to do."

So instead of saying that their cause was legitimate, they won their rights, and moving on, they looked for new things against which to fight. They became litigious and petty. "You oppose abortion? That's because only women can get pregnant and you hate women." "You disagree with the opinion of a female politician? That's because you're a sexist and you can't stand to see women in power." "My boss promoted a man instead of me. It can't be because I was late six times in the last month, it must be because he likes men better."

I don't agree with the article completely - I don't think that feminism alone has ruined America. But I do think that the more recent part of the feminist movement is what caused the decline of the nuclear family.

it's not that women can't do lots of stuff men do, or vice-versa --- it's that men need to act manly (masculine) - provide & protect and women need to act womanly (feminine) - nuture & love; the more men act like women (wusses), and women act like men (fake feminists) the more lost and perverted they become - and society declines; so men, man up - and women, clean up ;)

Hi,

Just one question: has anyone reading this ever had a teacher tell you you can't do something just because of your sex? I have. When I was 10 my gym teacher told us - the group of girls in his class - that we did not have to run as fast as the boys. When we asked why, he told us it was because we could not. Apparetnly, it isn't one of a girl's "predetermnined traits" (his words, not mine). He then went on to say we were neurtering, which the boys in are class could not be because they were male!

This moment made me a feminist, certinly. Along with the many times I've had men wolf whistling or calling out to me from cars saying some very digrading things (I'm not repeating them here because there were profanities used and I don't want to offend anyone).

Additionally, I don't always feel safe walking around my college campus. A lot of guys have an aggressive attatude towards women.

Now, not all guys are scum. I know that. Yet, I've encountered enough sexism during my short life to make me believe that men and women are still not equal.

And, a large group of friends and I were having a disscusion about who should be drafted if there was a draft, and everyone - girls included- said that women and men should be drafted and put on the front lines.

I just wanted to add my two-bits. I'm a young feminist, well-rounded and open minded, who hopes you read this and can see a different point of view.

P.S. most women my age are too affraide to label themselves as feminist because it stirs this kind of reaction. Their scared people (men) will assume their angry or gay. That's crap in my opinion.

I have several great guy friends, and a current, steady boyfriend who all consider themselves feminist.

God bless : )
