<p>I always hear about Feminists, but never this group, in fact I just herd about it. Its a real group looking for male rights. </p>
<p>Hahaha after I wrote an article for the school paper about male prejudice in the media, some poor sophomore decided to do masculism as a topic for her research paper. I could’ve told her not to, the grading teacher’s a stalwart second wave feminist, but unfortunately didn’t hear about that until the teacher was whining about having to just pass some girl with a 67 even though she wrote some “sexist” paper on “some made up thing called masculism.” Which pretty much says it all about how older, second gen feminists feel about this movement.</p>
<p>Third wave feminism is pretty bueno though, none of these “men have cooties” second wave shenanigans. I consider myself both a feminist and a masculist.</p>
<p>I think most people support equal rights for men and women…</p>
<p>^I really don’t think so. I hear more about woman’s rights than men’s rights.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>They do, in the same way that AA is in favor of equal rights for URMs and whites.</p>
<p>^Please don’t bring up AA, that’s an evil word on CC.</p>
<p>What about animal rights</p>
<p>PETA does that, and their very enthusiastic about it.</p>
<p>Eh, I’ve always had an issue with things that were pro- insert-majority/dominant-group-here. The thing is, women, minorities, and people in the lower-income bracket need a particular emphasis on recognition because they’re not in the majority, a fact which affects minorities in tangible ways - for example, from being subconsciously as well as socially dissuaded from a certain career because it is male-dominated to straight up prejudice. Now, if you were talking about, say, men who take on nursing roles or other forms of “women’s work,” then it would make sense to have some sort of “support” group that acknowledges men’s place in the field, but only because they happen to be a minority group in this instance.</p>
<p>Basically, if you’re in the majority, you don’t really need a group going for you, since the whole purpose of those groups is to bring people at a perceived disadvantage to the average through encouragement via recognition. </p>
<p>Of course, being an advocate for one group does not mean you are against another. Fundamentally speaking, feminists do not seek to revoke rights held by men, unless it is impossible for women to also have those rights and those rights are somehow preventing women from achieving equal opportunities, or anything along those lines.</p>
<p>Grow up. Yeah, feminism needs a name change, but just grow up.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Well, basically, women ARE in the majority.</p>
