i hope no one takes anything i say personally.
i usually post in the threads without reading people's posts.
and after i post , whenever i visit the site again, i look at my latest posting history and usually scroll down the pages that i posted in to see if someone quoted me, etc

i am not sure if the word "satisfy" is correct in the context of the sentence.

maybe i should have used the word "impress" instead of "satisfy" , like for example:
( he does that because who wants to impress women)

im not sure. sorry my english is not very good..


I agree with this. Being a male feminist is just creepy imo.


I'm a feminist, there's no need to define myself as a 'male feminist'.
I fail to see how advocating for egalitarian gender relations is creepy, but then again I find much of the needledickery around here pretty creepy.

I have bad news for you, male feminists aren't even liked by many female feminists; there's so much opposition, hatred and disrespect against you among the female feminists and you are often seen in accusatory light, often seen as men trying to get into women pants by pretending to be pro-women. You will often been accused of mansplaining too.

You know what? Have some self dignity and get out of it, seriously - drop this label- if you are an activist in some feminist group, leave it. You will be respected more as a man who treats women fairly - as an equal- but without being vocal for feminist causes and without adopting a label; will you?

There are so much materials against male feminists written by feminists, check the comments by women too - you're unpopular even among those who you are advocating for.

you're a smart guy. :wink:

Thank you, I do admit I have a problem placing myself in the middle and looking down on both sides on any issue. I don't like that I do that. I learned the important lesson of keeping politics and friends separate.

It's kind of funny that the articles you post make criticisms that I've made before. I'm sure you had a point. :|

I believe in egalitarianism for all genders.

But I also believe the differences between all genders should be extolled. They make life more pleasant. I like variety in people; I don't like sameness in people.

I get turned on more by women who look like women--than by women who look "neutral"--though I could fall in love with a "neutral"-looking person if we had a connection in other ways.

If anything, I feel like the one who has been consistently labeled and attacked. I expressed dismay at what looks like bigotry, and apparently that put me into a class of people where I can be blamed for everything that the other members of that class have done. It makes it impossible to have a discussion of issues. I've so far failed to have a discussion of the dynamic which makes discussing the issues impossible.

I don't see much point in having a problem measuring contest, but I appreciate the unpredictable effects of sustained abuse on the way people think. I suffered from it for a long time, myself. We all have problems, here, I'd guess.


You've failed to produce any evidence of me being a "bigot". You just say it but never explain how I am supposedly one. How does not agreeing with SJW feminists (I am making a distinction) make me a sexist or homophobe or a racist? That is my biggest problem with them.

You don't serve the country, you don't get to make important decisions about it. That sounds fair to me. It's people who reap all the benefits who have not worked for them that are ruining the US.

Really? I haven't served my country, I went to uni and I now run a business paying tens of thousands in tax each year while taking nothing out of the system. Comparatively many people in the military are only there because there was nothing else they felt they could do (note I said "many", please no strawman arguments suggesting I said "all"). Why is someone who dropped out of school to serve in the military better placed to make important decisions about how the country is ran than someone who is highly educated and runs a business?

Given you elected such a person as your president I dare say over 50% of Americans agree with me :D

Elaborate, do you mean that you hate those male feminists too?

The comic strip for example includes all male
feminists, so it is attacking you as well.

I read the first article and it outlines a bunch of 'guys saying one should behave this way - ignoring one's own preferences and sense of agency to align one's self with his preferences, goals and/or desires'.

That's all of a response you get, you've wasted enough of my time son.
