A paradox?

Wilkin · 07-19-2006, 11:21 PM

If I, a male, were to say that I hate feminists, would I only be furthering their cause?

Of course, that isn't the case at all, but it creates an interesting question. One reason I've heard for disliking feminists is that they always turn things that men say around to an extreme. Thus, if a man says that he dislikes feminists for exactly that reason, the feminist could then turn that around on him saying that he was discriminatory and prejudiced, as well as stereotyping. Of course, this is assuming that that particular feminist fit the prementioned description.

What I'm really getting at is, is it possible for a man to dislike feminists without coming off looking like the bad guy?

Yes, but not in their eyes.

Feminism is unfalsifiable. It's freud for a bunch of hags with no hair and tits that could make flowers wilt.

I argee with Kles. But then again, I have never been in such a situation. And people can be so blinded by something - that they cannot see a good person.

Yeah. Anyone who's obsessive about promoting their cause is annoying as ****, and therefore you have reason to dislike them.

Same as vegetarians, super-religious people, etc.

Problem is the fact that you can't win and the cause usually sucks.

PETA is like supposed to be the #1 animal rights group. Good thing they support terrorism and firebomb buildings to achieve their goals. Oh, and they kill animals.

More people have died for a religious cause than anything else in the history of the world.

The list goes on.

True. For instance, vegetarianism is a noble cause, if done for the animals. An organization such a PETA though, who uses such drastic measures to enforce their beliefs, might make someone's first impression of a vegetarian much worse by association.

I use PETA for their free stickers.

I can't pass up things that say
"I am not a nugget" "Cut class, not frogs" "Jesus loves me too!" =(
