    Why does the KKK frighten so many (regardless of race)?

    Can you name ANYTHING that feminism has done that has improved things more for men than it has improved things for women? ANYTHING? If not, how can you possibly consider it an equality movement?

    So, if it isn't an equality movement, if some of its members have resorted to violence, others have certainly used threats etc (consider the story of Erin Pizzey), shouldn't it frighten you?

    I think it's people who pretend feminism is something different what it really is. They are deliberately ignorant of what feminism is and attack it because they do not want to lose all their the perks they have as a man.

    i don't think that many people are frightened of feminism - i think that is propaganda

    most people see it as a non issue

    something real that people are frightened of is terrorism

    if you went on the street and asked people if they are frightened of feminism - many people would laugh at you

    if you asked them if they were frightened of terrorism - most would have something to say

    It's fear of the unknown.

    Those who fear it, don't know what it means to be a feminist. They also don't know what gender equality might look like, because all they've ever known has been a world without equality.

    "Why does feminism frighten so many (regardless of gender)?"

    Because it pushes for the extermination of men and the imprisonment/re-education of women who don't agree with their fascist ideals.

    I kinda don't want women to get equal rights. I feel more privileged than any woman because I am male. Even more than Hillary clinton. And I am just an ordinary guy :)

    Like many social movements, certain people tend to feel that it threatens the status quo - that upsets them, because they like things to stay the way they are (these are called conservatives).

    Of course, it doesn't need pointing out that the people who want things to stay the same are the ones who have it pretty good the way things are

    "If you hate us it means you're scared of us." A new propaganda line I see. My we have been busy. haven't we? Wrong. If I people hate you it's only because they're tired of your crap. Crap like this for starters.

    Thanks to feminism, I know that I'll be the one arrested and charged if I ever end up in an abusive relationship.
