Why do feminists contradict themselves?
Feminists say they are for gender equality, but then when questioned about their support for men's rights, they say "men should stick up for their own rights" or "that is a job for men". Case in point (first answerer):

And when men do fight for their rights via Men's Rights groups, they're accused of being misogynists!
When will feminists realize that men are not disgusted because we want them to fight for our rights, but because of this blatant contradictory lie that mainstream society is too blind to see?

When men's rights groups stop touting "male superiority", putting women down, and stop trying to take away women's rights while advocating more rights for men instead, THEN maybe people will stop calling the members of these groups "misogynists."

Everyone contradicts themselves and the one that says he never did or will never do is a hypocrite. In fact, we are all hypocrites. Feminism is to me a little bit like unions. At first, they were necessary, today they are too powerful. Simple example, todays women wanted their husbands to do regular house cleaning obligations. Most of men changed their minds and are now doing cleaning obligations with them. Woman also wanted their husbands to do other tasks like fixing the house but in many cases they dont want to participate in those tasks. That gives the idea they dont fight for equality anymore.

I agree that feminists contradict themselves by fighting almost exclusively for women's rights, rather than equality. I'd like to expand this by mentioning two more examples of feminist hypocrisy:
1. They claim to be liberals, but they work to oppress minority men.
2. They claim to oppose gender roles, but many of them still want to be treated with chivalry.

BLEH you're boring and transparent. Stop WHINING about what a few crackpots are saying and try to fight for your issue. People who hate feminists claim that feminists are man-haters, but you are just a man hater hater. You get a thrill from attacking man haters, even if that requires you to invent them in your mind.

Everybody contradicts themselves. That is why people become engineers and mechanics. So that they don't have to deal with these things.

Feminism is a contradiction in itself. Laws need to be changed which includes evening out the court bias and not defaulting children to mothers. Marriage should not be something that one gender fears. Feminists do not care for men. They do not care for women and they certainly do not care for children.
They must be stopped.

Believe me, there are women that feel the same way.
