What do patriarchists and anti-feminists gain when they victim blame?

What is the purpose for their victim blaming? What are they trying to prove?

Is it just another form of misogyny to victim blame female victims of domestic violence?

Please explain.

Thanks! :)

    They gain more haters. Clearly it's a bad tactic. But they haven't seemed to notice, or just don't care

    I have never victim blamed anyone at all, ever, never(and I have seen some fems do it, too)... I have done the opposite and tried to support both genders in this regard from those would try to shame them for being a victim of abuse.

    But the thing is Gender Studies issues(not just talking about YA) has become akin to an ideological battleground between the warring ideologies and many of the participants have no shame or sense of morality.

    They get a sick thrill out of posting anything they believe has "shock value" or will get under peoples skin in a big way. They crave the negative attention.. because they cannot get positive attention. Truly, they are sad and lonely individuals.

    The MRA is for the most part a direct reaction to feminist driven policies that discriminate against men. Whether it's the MRM or anyone who wants equal policy, to create change requires one to recognize the what's causing the existing discriminatory policy. Recognizing the influence feminism has had on policy, is not victim blaming, it's accurately assessing an issue.

    Take the STEM issue for example. Feminists want to push legislation that will limit the number of students who go into such classes based on their gender. Insuring that such courses remain open for anyone, regardless of gender, requires recognizing the influence that desires otherwise. Again, this is not victim blaming, this is realistically recognizing what feminists wish to push as policy.

    Despite how anti feminists always put forward all sorts examples of how women get treated a bit better than men. In most cases, it is women who are generally treated worse in our society. It is most apparent workforce promotions. Women work twice as hard just to earn an equal salary. Women suffer more, men just complain.

    Not sure, but I don't see what feminists and manginas gain by putting men down all the time.

    Maybe they are just frustrated that male victims get ZERO help or symathy.

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2518434/...

    One of the women in that article got 9 years for killing her husband by stabbing him in the chest after years of abusing him.

    He was a father.

  • women are not the victim. men and boys are, women suffer from feminism too, but to a smaller degree.
