TSR guys should be feminists

I have an acquaintance from university on Facebook who is probably the only person in my circles who would consider herself a 'serious feminist'. Her posts are more misandrist than you can possibly imagine.

e.g. quoting the following story:

" I called the agency and the guy who had sent me along from the agency called me back 10 minutes later from his car and he said ‘look I’m sorry, I know you’ve travelled to London and you’ve wasted your time but she is basically something we come across a lot in the public sector, which is that they will abuse their position to appoint women and almost never men. They would rather, they would rather give a job to an incompetent women than a competent man. And this particular woman has never been known to take on a man.’"

Followed by 'tbh she sounds like a hero to me', with 15 likes on that from her circle of like-minded people.

And a response to that post was a 'Kill all men' pic (not ironically posted) which garnered likes as well (though, thankfully, fewer than 15).

I know some people on TSR come across badly, but I don't think there is anywhere near the amount of misogyny as there is misandry amongst the most active self-proclaimed feminists.

You said "They feel threatened" in response to someone talking about men.

I've seen plenty of articles and blogs, they're everywhere. What you just mentioned is talked about by (not exact figure but you get it) 1% of feminists, the rest is all about women being able to do this and that. As you just stated Feminism was created all for the females hence why I stated that people should go for a cause with equality for all in mind aka egalitarianism.

You are a feminist, you've been reasonable throughout, can you please share some sources of mainstream feminist groups advocating men's rights please? The gents above are being guarded.

Yes because that is the attitude most anti-feminists have, male or not. My ex for example didn't like that I pointed out sexism in video games because it critiqued something he loved and that he saw as having nothing problematic in them.

I'm guessing by groups you mean like facebook groups and the like? Well this is one I like on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/everydayfeminism

3. It encourages Cis People to Check their Privilege

I can't even begin to imagine how annoying it must be trying to play battlefield having your gf moaning in your ear about how all the characters are men or whatever bull**** applied in your situation.

Who gives a **** really? All i know is i played so many games growing up with "strong leading female characters" i was actually surprised to find out women are so weak irl.




No we don't and no they aren't.

You're a great example of why people don't agree with feminists.

Have you read the **** that they post?

How do you know I wasn't the one playing battlefield? I never 'moaned' at him either, nice use of a sexist stereotype there. And please let me know what games you were playing during your childhood with strong leading female charactres bar Lara Croft, because I would like to play them. I'm genuinely sorry the majority female population isn't strong enough to drop kick you in the face.

We have a largely male government, most institutions are male headed, men hold majority economic power. By definition, yes we live in a patriarchy. If you don't want want to be a feminist then that's fine but no need to be rude.

Well, statistically it is much more likely he was the one playing BF and I'm sure most people don't like to consider themselves to be moaning, even when they are.

Well Lara Croft of course, loved those games, but i remember others - All the fighting games i used to play (Tekken is one i remember off the top of my head) and some resident evils if i remember correctly.

Curious how you'd like to play a game simply because of the sex of the characters - it's so irrelevant, although it is highly unrealistic when you have females physically overpowering men (all throughout gaming and films).

You sound like you have a repressed hatred for men, you know..

I stand by "patriarchy" being a load of bs, also i noticed you didn't try and mention how women are disadvantaged more than men.

Many TSR have genuine issues when it comes to interacting with women.


If you ever click a girl's profile, you will see these ****ing turbo-virgins making the most awkward conversations with them

Yeah like you're ****ing perfect.

The worst kind of scumbag is the type of guy who seeks the approval of women who will do nothing for him by attacking and hurting other men.

You will never find happiness by sucking up to women, no matter how hard you try, no matter how much you bleat on about equal rights like a freshly chopped eunuch, no matter how much of a self hating man hating arse you present yourself as.

Regardless of what women say, they want someone who is a leader amongst men and someone who lives their own lives and treats women as secondary priorities. They are not attracted to pussies like you who place them on a pedestal.

You keep whining and come across as the repulsor king. Bashing guys for daring to be heterosexual makes you the ultimate turbo virgin.

Just piss off.

Could I ask why this matters to you as an individual? Do you think that men being in power disadvantages you personally? Do you think more women in power would - in and of itself - make your life better? Do you feel that I as a male benefit more than you do because people who have the same genitalia as me are more common at the top of society?

Yet I'm not the one seething with bitterness and frustration...
