Why are poeple on this site so obessed with feminists?

I don't have a big penis. This leaves me room to be artful in love, since there's room in Milady's Love Chamber.

He (that extension of I) could wait in the anteroom, while Milady freshens up.

Then.....as we are both patient creatures....Milady grabs Him, and allows admittance into the Drawing Room, where True Communion between two people occurs. It could be gentle and suave; it could be blunt and thoroughly under the Aegis of friction.

As a result of this artfulness, Milady never gets sore, becomes convulsed with delight, and is too exhausted from her Delight to really need More.

I am not all that obsessed with them, but I don't really get it. I mean I get it in the context of when women were fighting for the right to vote and equal rights...but I think the equal rights where basically achieved. I mean I am sure me and feminists might agree on quite a few things however can't get past that the term 'feminism' sort of implies 'females only' when some self proclaimed feminists support general human rights for everyone....which not sure the term fits. I mean I do not feel opressed over-all by males, and I think they get a lot of unfair treatment in a lot of situations actually...not sure feminism really addressees that. I guess I am more of a humanist, with no focus on specific gender.

I mean guys aren't supposed to wear make up, have to put up some masculine front and all this crap...then they get looked down more on if they have a hard time finding consistent employment than a female. Also it seems within sub-cultures people will complain about the males not being masculine enough....Then the stereotypes, like my brother is a straight male and he likes to wear make up, and people have talked crap to him about it cause he's not fitting a male stereotype or tell him he must be gay...why does a male have to be gay to wear make up? Why is a female who does not wear make up catagorized as a 'lesbian' lol I have no problem with homosexual females but just because I am not wearing make up does not mean I am one.

^ I get the impression that the typical aspie lack of concern for dressing and styling ourselves to fit social expectations tend to ping on people's gaydar, regardless of our actual orientation.

I'm certainly not against equality for women. However, in my honest opinion, feminism tends to lead to the infamous "us vs. them" mentality(at least it does nowadays anyways)...which is toxic to any ideology.

I can't speak for other people. I don't take issue to feminism. I'm all for abolishing harmful gender stereotypes and roles, and I'm all for bringing awareness to what misogyny is and why it's such a big part of our culture.

I feel some people might feel threatened by feminism. A woman with high self esteem and intelligence poses a threat to someone's ego, I suppose. There can't really be many other reasons to hate feminism.

Yesterday I went to meet my brother and we where at a park where there where a few people he knew, their acquaintances and other random people all sort of hanging out in the same area. Then some girl came up(it was like highschool age kids to young adults hanging out) and this guy told her he did not like her. I feel a feminist sort of person might have immediately jumped to this guy being some female hating jerk face, but the reason why was this girl had dated his brother and cheated on him and apparently her and her parents said some rather nasty stuff about lower income people. She seemed like a rather stuck up kinda person that I would not get along with initially anyways but I am not all that verbal about such things unless they directly do something to me or someone I care about.

Sometimes guys don't like females, and sometimes there is a good reason why they don't like that particular female. I mean it seems some people get carried away and assume in any given situation the female is an undeserving victim of unjustified hate, when that is hardly always the case. Also having taken some psychology classes in college and getting some understanding on what is known about how people think....the term feminism in itself is problematic because whether people mean to or not their mind will get caught up with that term and they'll have more of a focus on problems women face while ignoring issues males face and perhaps jumping to conclusions about misogynous where it is not the case.

Wow 8 pages....

I understand some people taking issue where the lack of a level playing field has been flipped.

Those that are annoyed becuase they aren't guaranteed a traditional gender role exclusively, well tough.

There is definitely a blow-back. I think it is a bad approach to advocacy, where people are basically alright but they are made to feel like they are stepping on eggshells. This is a mistake of any rights movement to alienate people who aren't the enemy. On the other hand is if it pisses off people who are a stick in the mud, then so be it. No skin off my back.

I hope the feminist movement will explore my penis-size hypothesis. The penis card is potent, and could win them many battles.
