Default A question, asked in good faith to all male posters on Gender and Women's Studies.?

I have many male friends.We laugh and joke.We discuss football( soccer) and rugby.We get on well.My question to the men who post regularly on here and those who dip in and out every so often is this.I daily read contentious questions from male posters.Sometimes they mailiciously attack women on this forum and go at it like a dog on a dinner.My question is why?The majority of women who post here are OK women.Why attack?If you feel you are attacking feminism, you are not and the regular male posters on here acknowledge that.Surely, if you have an issue concerning feminism, isn't it more constructive to debate this rather than attack?Anatol- I am not American so I do not actually understand what you are saying- Sorry.Guns Fan- I think that it is great that you and your friends are getting together to discuss male issues.Sorry Locke, but who deserves what?Madison- we all have different view points but I can assure you the majority of men who post on here are intelligent, I think it is just the few that give those guys a bad reputation.d4- behave.You answer well and you acknowledge that.Ronnie- I know that. Thanks for answering.Rebirth- I know you are capable of a far better answer than the one you have given.Aaron- Thank you for a thoughtful answer.jjohensenO- Thank you for answering. Your daughter will be fine.Rebirth- Cougars never Yap!Mitch- a good answer.Thank you.Mitch- None of us are beyond reproach. I am a woman- never had any label attached to me. I have always spoken as I have found fit. People can label all they want but I am interested in the individual gender is not important, it is for me and I speak for no one else, that folk are compassionate as compassion, humility and a sense of acknowledging the other person's viewpoint is to me important.Antimisandry- Good answer and I believe you have a valid point. Maybe the start of a way forward on here is for posters such as yourself who has answered in a valid way to post this answer as a question and see what response you have. Just an idea.Prashant- I cannot comment on breast implants but I agree regarding paying ones way regarding dinner. Thanks for answering.c'mon Cliffy- Thank you. A really thoughtful answer.Joaquin- We are passionate about rugby in The UK-it's a really good game- but your country has a really good national football team.

Actually, I'm pretty active in real life. Me and many of my male friends are starting a Male only discussion group to discuss Men issue and to fight feminism and their hypocrisy.Us Men don't really HATE Women. We just don't like the feminist/feminism, that's all.

Good question. What a nice surprise if we had some answers to it, that were not hostile.

I am a male feminist, and often I don't think it is too much sexism or against feminism, they may be sexist or against feminism, but I don't see much of that in answers or questions, what I see is people that don't like sensitive people, I recently asked my own questions and got called stupid and things like that by a load of guys, and a few girls answered nicely. I never say all men are bad, because there are few good and some women that are bad, but I always say most men are bad. People are scared of what they haven't yet experienced or anything that is different to them, so they attack it, people will attack sensitivity and women because of sensitivity or male over female domination because they don't understand women. If you don't understand something you are naturally scared and want to control it or attack it,"if it controls you..oh no what shall I do"kind of thing.. Also people do not look in specific subjects on here, they just answer any old question, and because of that you get a lot of people that wouldn't usually answering, answering your questions that you want only specific people to answer, I admit I usually only look on the first pages and not through the categories, but I choose my answers and questions the best I can, I don't want to answer a question, for no reason, or some points, I like to help people, and just for all you women out thereFEMINISM IS COMING!!men are welcome, sexism isn'tFeminism is equality, not empowerment, men are scared of being equal, and almost always need to be the boss, I will fight for the women, against the inequality, all I say is.. women, don't be sexist back, say"most men, not all men ;-)"I would like to comment on what Anatol Kuragin said, I am glad they don't think like this anymore, this should be the way both male and female think, and only when in love.I don't like how Mitch just copied other peoples answers and shows how scared he is that people are fighting for equality still, although female's are more equal and can do a lot more, by law, the truth is that people themselves don't treat eachother as equals, the law says..same rules..blah blah.. and everyone else just continues as they were before..unequal.If you don't understand, just let it be, all I am saying is that although by law women are equal to men, men seem to be dominant and empowering over women, not as a company or by law, but just as friends, relationships and the relationships everyone has with eachother, because most people are scared in some way or another, also what I mean by"feminism is equality"is that feminism stands for equality, it is there to try to work towards a more equal world for male and female and feminism doesn't want to make women the superior sex, as many scared people think, just equal, then it will stop, not carry on, why try to fight someone that is trying to make the world better? What I mean by"scared people are fighting for equality"is that you seem to be scared that women could be equal to you, and you seem like you always need to be... better What I mean by women are more equal, isn't that they are more equal than men, or other people, just that they are more equal than they used to be, women are becoming more equal all the time. I know many women are also sexist and many call themselves feminists, I am not speaking for all feminists in the world, just for feminism as a subject, I also want to correct my wording"scared people are fighting for equality"it should be"scared that people are fighting for equality"as equality seems to scare so many people. If you want to mess around with words..then it isn't more equal, it is closer to equality, if you believe feminism is a hate group then you obviously are a very scared person and a very closed person, you obviously don't like to accept what other people like to say, and don't like to learn anything that is beyond your understanding(a lot), I don't want to keep arguing I just thought I could convince you that I wasn't against you and try to teach you what feminism is, but obviously you aren't going to accept any information anyone gives you except your mom and other male friends.
