Why target feminist "hate" groups?

I am sure there are "hate" groups against women, so why do some people act like the only hate groups that exists are misandrist ones? For every hate group against women there will be one against men.

    Most feminist groups are not vehicles of irrational hatred, but for people who think there is only so much cake to go around, women getting a fair slice of cake means there's less for men and they react as spoilt children to the idea.

    Of course, there are hardline right-wing feminists who follow socialist feminism rather than liberal feminism, who think the cake should be weighted in society toward them rather than shared about equally.

    But there are fewer men-hating-feminists than women-hating-mcps simply because of how the cake was shared out in the first place.

    .... and Vintner -- no hate groups just eg KKK and Nazis? The nazis executed several million people because they didnt like the fact those people were gay, or jewish, or believed that workers should have rights rather than be at the whim of employers. I'd say killing whole sections of society is pretty good evidence of hate, y'know. It's about as good proof of hating someone as you could hope to get.

    I don't know you personally, but reading your question and notion, I assume you are quite an ignorant person when it comes to such subject. Hate grouo againt women...what the hell...If there is a hate group against women...please inform me.

    I have never heard of a hate group against women...there are men (and women) who hate women...but those people are to small in ratio to the overall American population to even constitute just one group that is at least half the size of all feminist women put together. Women like you like to think all too negative about men...sometimes I feel numerous men fall victim to women when something bad happens to a woman. Not all men are the same. Hey, we may have our wild fantasies and such, but that doesn't mean we would violate a woman. I highly respect women...no degree higher or lower than I respect men.

    I somethings ponder if women know for a fact that other women commit crime against other women and that there a women who would rather stand for a man than a woman for reasons not including sexual preference. Feminism is become more tinted over the years. I don't dislike feminism, but I dislike radical feminism. A radical feminist wouldn't care to dare say all men are evil, rapist, and that their only intention is to suppress, objectify, and overpower women. Think about what you say...I like and love my women...and reading just that former statement you may have began to think I was being sexual...but I'm not...I highly show equality to all the women I have meant in my life.

    In the west there arent hate groups against women, at least none I know of. And there have never been hate groups against women. There have been witch hunts when people got crazy over red haired women but thats different.

    Please do tell me who would be the male equivalents to dworking Steinhame and the scum manifesto ? The closest that comes to "hate group" I can think of is freud and analyzing mankind he said things about humankind in general that werent very flattering.

    Most of the sites listed as misandrous are not directly 'hateful'. However, what they do is misrepresent men (as abusers/guilty) as a class and women (as victims/innocent) too.

    For those who are merely visiting will usually believe the statistics they read without even trying to check out the integrity of the studies. Most studies cited will come from feminist 'professors'.

    For example, Strauss & co. released study results years ago which said women were victims of a lot of abuses at the hands of men. Feminists were overjoyed and ensure these results were shared as far & wide as possible.

    Later, Strauss and co. released similar studies, but this time they encompassed men AND women alike, and found the rates of intimate abusers were very, very close.

    According to Strauss himself, he & his collegues received death threats from feminists, their work was sabotaged and they were 'thrown out' of the feminist movement.

    So it's quite obvious there is a distinct agenda to the feminist movement... to demonize men.

    Well, those hate groups are the problem, so why attack the ones who aren't? besides, the hate groups are powerful within feminism. Look at Andrea Dworkin, and how influential she was among the movement...

    I agree. However I think that targeting these groups gives them publicity to the majority of the public that knows nothing about them.

    There are no hate groups. There are only groups that worship ignorance and try to spread it around, like the Nazis and the KKK. If you ask someone to name a feminist hate group, what comes out of their mouth next says much more about them than the group, you know?

    Are any other hate groups given federal funding?

    Do we see other hate groups that have entire programs & curriculums on our college campuses, infecting each new generation with their ideology?

    Do other hate groups push for & secure laws that follow their beliefs?

    No?

    Well then.

    That's why.
