    Abusing men in the goal of feminism. Why do you think women carry out the following abuse? Hey Liz, you claiming the following IS NOT abuse is disgraceful...

    It’s all about a mothers rights, but no fathers rights.

    Women being treated like princesses in prison and men being treated like animals. Female prison guards humiliate and degrade men with strip searches etc, but female prisoners get privacy and respect from male prison guards.

    Bodily choice for women, but forced genital mutilation for boys, referring to women’s rights to their bodies in terms of abortion, but boys being circumcised without choice.

    Female reporters and staff allowed in men’s locker rooms, but privacy and respect for female athletes. This is the definition of feminist equality. Is this an example of the respect that feminists claim MEN don’t have for the opposite sex?

    Its women getting everything in a divorce, and men being torn away from their children

    Female sex offenders being slapped on the wrist, but male sex offenders being incarcerated the rest of their lives

    Its men being sentenced to more time for the same crime than women. This can be researched under the US government and shows that women don’t get held accountable to the level that men do.

    Women having the right to use the men’s room, but a man who walks in to the women’s room is arrested for being disrespectful and perverted. Men use urinals, but that’s still not enough for women to have basic respect for men’s privacy.

    Its a feminized education system that cripples natural behavior of boys, makes being male a crime in school, then girls claiming they are smarter.

    Why is it when two people under the age of consent have sex, only the boy is charged with doing something wrong?

    Its women being allowed to drown five children and using the fact she is a woman to get away with it - Andrea Yates

    Its women being allowed to use domestic violence as an excuse to murder a sleeping husband, even though there is no evidence of domestic abuse - Mary Winkler

    Its the extensive abuse of restraining orders to vilify an innocent man and get leverage in a divorce. A restraining order against a man can be served even without his knowledge or an opportunity to defend himself.

    Its men being jailed for defending themselves against an abusive wife, but called a wimp if he takes the abuse

    Its women demanding respect from men, but never having to respect them in return

    Its women having the choice between abortion, adoption, dropping an unwanted baby off at a hospital, raising the child with a father, or raising the child without a father, but the only choice men have is to agree.

    Its 3 innocent Duke Lacrosse players losing their lives because we don’t ever think a woman could lie about rape - let alone prosecute her for doing so.

    Its women labeling men as abusive when the US government has shown women cause more child abuse than men.Its female rape being horrendous, but male rape being funny and made in to comedy movies. Rape is a legally accepted part of the justice system, but only against men.

    Its just about every TV show being allowed to humiliate and degrade men, but women complaining and calling it sexist if they were treated the same.

    It’s more health care spending going towards women’s health than men’s. Breast cancer receives 7 times the funding of prostate cancer. There are three departments of women’s health in the US government, but none for men. However, men live an average of 5 years less than women when the genders used to have the same life span.

    Its allowing women only clubs and banning men only clubs

    It’s doing everything we can to help girls in math and science, but letting boys fall further behind in everything else.

    It’s defining equal pay for equal work as men playing five sets of tennis, but women only playing three. Maybe women claiming 3=5 is the reason for the above point

    Its cutting men’s sports in college in favor of women’s sports that have no interest

    Its female murderers being mentally ill, but male murderers just being evil

    Its claiming men walk out on their family when its actually women who file 80% of divorces

    Its men being portrayed as evil, stupid or buffoons on TV and all women being perfect or superior.Its women wanting equality for their gender, but men being called chauvinist pigs when they want equality for their gender

    Its fixing the education system when girls are failing, and blaming the boys when boys are failing

    Its women being allowed to level false accusation against an innocent man without consequence. Read Duke Lacrosse and many other examples. Feminism has installed this right to women through the courts.

    Its a man being a chauvinist, sexist pig when he doesn’t respect women, but a women who doesn’t respect men is an admirable, strong and independent woman.

    Women remove male role models from their sons' lives, then when their sons behave badly, the women blame "patriarchy."

    Stereotyping girls as inferior to boys in any facet of life is "misogyny"; stereotyping boys as potential batterers and rapists is a public service announcement.

    If a man wants sex more often than his wife is willing to give, he's selfish; if a woman wants sex more often than her husband is willing to give, he's selfish.

    Married men who have affairs are selfish pigs; married women who have affairs are seeking the fulfillment they are not getting in their marriages.

    Women insist their husbands assume the responsibilities of being a full parent, but as soon as a woman files for divorce, he is just an ATM.

    Its feminists not being able to provide one example of legal discrimination against women in the US today.

    As a feminist, of course I agree.

    A woman who abuses a man unprovoked is no better than a man who does the same thing.

    "Ladies do you agree with women that abuse men in the name of feminism?"

    Ideally the answer would universally be NO.  No caveats, no asking for proof that such a feminist exists.  Why would anybody agree with anyone abusing others in the name of their ideology, right?  But here we are, staring down the end of this forum, and there are still deniers that this even occurs despite the decade we've supposedly discussed gender ideology with each other here in GS.

    I used to post these all the time back in the past showing prominent feminists posting misandry and man-hate AS feminism:

    -“I want to see a man beaten to a bloody pulp with a high-heel shoved in his mouth, like an apple in the mouth of a pig.” — Andrea Dworkin 

    “The proportion of men must be reduced to and maintained at approximately 10% of the human race.” — Sally Miller Gearhart 

    -“I feel that ‘man-hating’ is an honourable and viable political act, that the oppressed have a right to class-hatred against the class that is oppressing them.” – Robin Morgan, Ms. Magazine Editor 

    That -should- have gotten rid of the denial.  But it often brought out the radical feminist apologists instead who made excuses all the way from "parody" (even though it wasn't intended that way) to "context" (no context for hate) and various other excuses including denying any particular prominent feminist as being "true feminist".  I always felt that was a lot like a Nazi denying Hitler was a "true Nazi" because he didn't fulfil the dictionary definition of a National Socialist ... but then the Nazi would attend all the destructive rallies and marches anyway.

    Liz, does this count?

    Sarah Silverman claimed to the media that she was paid less than her peers in early comedy gigs and then was forced to retract it when a reporter actually did the research.

    Silverman said she was trying to make a point.

    I suppose she wasn't going after any specific person, but she inadvertently did cast aspersions on her early employers, lying in the name of feminism.

    That being said, yeah, although many feminists have lied, and certainly some have done it in the name of feminism, I see no evidence that feminists have been any worse than any other movement.

    Certainly, Trump and his cronies have to be counted as a movement now, and they rarely let truth stand in the way of a good stunt.

    Please post any evidence that any woman has ever abused men in the name of feminism. Or else admit you’re another troll and your days are numbered. Good luck finding another forum where you can post these false assertions. 

    @ Elana, the question is worded loosely but even so, no what Sarah Silverman said doesn’t count as abuse of men. It is making a claim about her earnings that turned out to be a lie. At least I don’t think most people would consider lies to be abuse. If everyone who lies was an abuser we wouldn’t be able to move for abusers.  Every day there are wild claims made here about women but they’re not abuse, they’re misstatements and lies. 

    I have to agree Jerry’s cherry-picked list of quotes indicates feminists who have promoted the abuse of men. I don’t know that any of it was strictly speaking in the name of feminism, but they are pretty close, I do agree.  Not that most people pay them any attention as they all sound deranged.

    Not at all!! I get the concept of feminism and its importance but violence and abuse should never be justified, especially with something as big and important as feminism. Being a woman doesn’t change the fact that shes an abuser, shes still hurting people and it isnt okay. We’re all for gender equality, and that includes giving women and men the same consequences and responses to negative actions and behaviors.
