The more I hear people talk about it who aren’t cis-het men, the more I hear criticism about the concept. But so far, I’ve only heard people say that it’s stupid, that it’s not a thing, that it’s men’s own fault etc. But I’ve yet to understand where that criticism comes from. I don’t want to start a discussion on whether or not it’s real or not. I just want to understand where the critics are coming from.

      Men suffer under patriarchy, bro. It isn’t women exploiting your insecurities to sell you magic pills and creams for a bigger dick and more testerone, masculinity retreats, or super secret techniques for making them drop their panties.

          Okay, let’s spell it out.

          Women don’t benefit from patriarchy. So you are saying that men don’t benefit from feminism.

          Male loneliness is a bad thing. Something that doesn’t benefit men. This is caused by feminism which men don’t benefit from. Right? That is what you’re saying … Hard to know. You said so little and so shocked that people misunderstood you.

          Feminism advocates for the equality of women and men in politics, economics, social, and interpersonal relationships. If women are treated in these areas (politics, economics, social, and interpersonal relationships), then men have equals to relate to, communicate with, and build community with. This is a benefit to men.
