I can agree with some of the things in this post, I'm not going to lie. However, Women want equality because there are still countries in the world where women can't vote and a whole lot more where women can't get an education and so I think that's a pretty good reason as to why most women want equality.
The problem is that many feminists don't really focus on that and instead they only focus on local things that they consider sexist, even if those things are very far from sexist. Also, I'm curious about what you disagree with in this post?
Well for example, the one point about drowning children, I personally don't think anybody could get away with that. Also the one about lying about rape and not getting a very short sentence, I've not heard a story about this happening before myself but I'm sure it's happened a lot, that is a very shitty situation to be in and I fully agree that the woman who did that should get a larger jail sentence, but that's probably a better example of a shitty law system rather than why it sucks to be a man
The drowning bit was a bit of an exaggeration but it is true that some women have gotten away with murdering their children and not been punished. Also, it's pretty scary that you can have your life basically taken away from you by a woman who just wants to hurt you for whatever reason, which is why I can see the reason for it being listed as a reason for why it sucks to be a man.
Probably because we still get less pay, we get shit if were raped (how did you dress? You were probably too provocative) we still get no respect from men in ANY case and we're never taken seriously by society. We're only viewed as objects and our worth is based on our looks. While I do agree with some of the statements there, many are false. Who drowns five children and gets away with it? Nobody. Next to one can get away with such a thing. It may have happened once but that's a special case. And you know why we sometimes get away with domestic violence, rape accusations, and murder? Because who would believe we, girls, could do that? We're viewed as the weaker sex who's too emotional to do shit. So periods, to men, aren't THAT BAD but bad enough for us to not be able to do anything. And all these are just happening in America.
In other countries, however, women get killed for getting pregnant through rape, women can't vote, women can't get an education, heck many cant even speak out or show their face! Women are in so much worse conditions out there and we, women in North America, can't even speak out for them because men don't care about what we think, and it doesn't concern them unless they're directly affected. Now tell me, who needs equality?

also, on a brighter note, yes I'm a feminist. But an actual feminist only want equality for men and women. And feminazi, however, is a bitch who calls herself a feminist, but want women to rule and hates men. Learn the difference.
I'm sorry but this is such a stereo type! BOTH sexes have downsides, it's time we stop pointing fingers and just treat one another equal! Not all females are femanazis we just want both men and woman treat equal!!!!!
I'm a girl and you are absolutely right about this. I'm studying Social Work and just had a course on Domestic Violence against men and it was just horrible what we learned. There are like 3 institutions in my whole country where men who are victims of domestic violence can get help. Think about how many there are for women. We talked about cases where the police simply did not believe the men that a woman could be the violent one in a relationship. In these cases the kids almost always stayed with the violent mom because the social workers could not see past their prejudices that man are the violent ones. There a lot of downsides to being a woman but there are also a lot of downsides to being a man.
in many south east asian countries, women do not have equal rights. But in many western countries where they do, men and women do not have the same treatments. I have to say this post is true, as a woman can exploit her gender role to earn privileged treatments. However, i am a feminist(keep reading) because there are so many teenage girls struggling to find their place, and feminism is what we use to show our support each other. I chose to be one to support my fellow peers but NOT to downgrade the other sex. Feminism is like a religon, some people choose to believe it purely for support and others will abuse their rights with it. Although i am a feminsit, sometimes i do think it gets too extreme and is not fair for men. If one day female becomes superior to male, i would not say the feminists have won, because this isnt what we were fighting for. Many people only think its fair when they have the upper hand. Sorry if this is long, i just wanted to express my opinion<3.
We're not asking for women to have perfect lives, we want equality. Period. In my opinion when women want the male privileges but can't handle the downsides they don't really want equality and therefore shouldn't call themselves feminist.
