In my view, feminism is about gender equality. Or, as the line goes, "Feminism is the radical notion that women are people." As as guy, I'm happy to identify as a feminist. So when you say "heavy feminist bias", that plays in my head like "heavy anti-slavery bias". A) I think it's a viewpoint, not a bias, and B) that sounds like a complaint from a 14th century ayatollah. I do agree that some feminists sometimes make sexist anti-male statements. Honestly, I might too had I, say been violently raped, had the police refuse to take my rape report because the rapist obviously wouldn't do such a thing, been bashed in my community as a slut, been told I deserved to get raped because I wore the wrong outfit, and then been forced to carry the rapist's baby to term. So although I see that male-bashing as unfortunate, I also generally think it's an understandable backlash that I try to forgive. However, I didn't see any male-bashing in those links, so I don't think any downvoting on those grounds is legitimate. |
