Why does feminism have such a bad reputation on TSR?

#killallmen

Case in point. Female. Check. Immature. Check. Prejudiced. Check. Need I go on?

Honestly? I think it's just people jumping on the bandwagon. I didn't know anything about feminism in my late teens either.

I'm a member of two other online communities and they seem to understand what feminism is and the overwhelming majority consider themselves pro-feminism and even identify as feminist. So why the disparity TSR? Is it because TSR attracts a young demographic meaning lots of young boys/men on here simply dislike women because they have prejudices from porn and video games? Is it sexual frustration manifesting itself as misogyny simply because they haven't had the chance to have sex? I know this is what I believe at least, that TSR is very unfair to women.

The arguments for it are bad. Frankly it has negative effects on society. I advocate a gender neutral gender equality movement.

A lot of people seem to just be parroting the same BS because of disinformation propagated by people who want to keep women as second class citizens..

TBF, you didn't need to add 'on TSR' to your title.

"Two other online communities" - Mumsnet and Tumblr?

Pretty much. Thing is, a fair amount of anti-feminists out there (and on this forum) aren't actually traditional misogynists... They're just really misled about what feminism is, and think they have to hate it because (they've been told) it hates them.

Case in point. Male. Check. Immature. Check. Prejudiced. Check. Need I go on?

It's because the feminists that TSR generally hates are the radicals and the newly coined 'white feminists' (who's goals only seem to improve the lives of the middle class white woman). Both of which are either not well educated on ACTUAL feminism and what it stands for or they are misandrists claiming the title of feminism to excuse and try and bolster their views.

It seriously disheartens me - there are a few issues that are spoken about on TSR where feminists are blamed or ridiculed that, as a feminist myself, I wouldn't have considered a priority in feminism right now.

I'm not an expert on how feminism's progressed but I think that a lot of the stigma is to do with a lot of the vocal, more extreme people who were part of the second wave and their opinions. I grew up thinking that "femenism" was bra-burners who passionately hated men to an unreasonable extent. I mean, I even thought FEMEN was what symbolic of feminism after the suffragettes.
Myself aside, every male I've ever spoken to about feminism bar two automatically associate it with the extreme minority. I'm in sixth form so I'm not going to pretend that I have crazy life experience and know everybody but I reckon the sample size is decent.
So I think that "#killallmen" as a reply to your post pretty much sums it up, prejudiced yes but that's why feminism gets a bad rap. Something like "#killallmen" or "#misandry" which may seem like a joke to people who regularly experience sexism is alienating to people who can't empathise i.e men. And the main demographic on TSR that is really vocal about feminism is probably young men I think, so I think that's how I'd answer your question.

I agree wholeheartedly with you. It is impossible to be a feminist if one hates men, particularly since feminism also includes men’s liberation and other social issues that surround men and transgendered people. Initially, feminism primarily focused on women, but it has grown to include so much more than that.

Can you re-word this? I just can't make sense of it.
