What is Reddit's opinion of I Hate Men: More than a banned book, the must-read on feminism, sexism and the patriarchy for every woman?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

You replied to the wrong comment BTW, I'll let /u/dr-korbo know in case they want to reply.

>I think you are overlooking that the main form of feminism accepted today, intersectional feminism aims to include equal rights for everyone, regardless of gender, race, sexuality etc.

Which is why they systematically eliminate male rape victims from statistics, systematically oppose domestic violence shelters for men, and systematically oppose any kind of research showing that men face significant issues, and systematically oppose any kind of program meant to address those significant issues men face.

Nothing says you're for equality better than saying "we want you to treat us more equally than them". Bill Burr said it best, feminism treats equality like a buffet, they want to claim equality for all the good stuff but all the bad stuff that affects men, men can keep and they can solve on their own with no help and no sympathy.

> But the feminism in practice varies on individuals. It's a matter of differentiating individual and ideology. Feminism in itself is inclusive, individuals operate differently.

At what point does a group stop being for equality? When 20% of its members treat equality like a one-way street? 50%? 75%?

If individuals are being actively harmful to men explicitly and deliberately because they are feminists, why does feminism get to be free of the blame? When feminists explicitly and deliberately post stuff like "killallmen" and "covid isn't killing men fast enough" and write books like I hate men, spedifically stating that they post that because they are feminists, why shouldn't we blame feminism?

Findest Du? Bin mir nicht so sicher. Gab mal, gar nicht so lang her, Hashtags, die besagten, dass man Männer töten solle, dass sie Müll seien und all so etwas, siehe auch: I Hate Men

Nach mehr Mitgefühl klingt das aber nicht. Vor allem nicht von der Seite aus, die ja gerade für Gleichberechtigung ist. Komisch. /s

Das als Antwort darauf dass Frauen darauf erzogen werden nett zu sein. Was absolut wahr ist. Sogar im Erwachsenen Alter noch wird von Frauen erwartet immer höflich zu sein. Du inszenierst hier ein Bild dass Frauen als Allgemeinheit Männer hassend sind. Und bösartig. (als Kontext, da OP von der Allgemeinheit der Frauen spricht, und du nicht spezifisch von einer Untergruppe redest.) daher der Frauenhass.

Mir wirfst du vor ich lebe in einer monoklausalen Welt, ganz einfach weil ich deine Schwachsinn anders sehe. Daher der persönliche Angriff welcher massiv passiv aggressiv war.

Btw, 66% der Zuhörer von hip hop sind Männer. Laut deezer.

Egal was für eine suche ich bei Google eingebe. Immer kommt raus dass Männer mehr rap hören als Frauen. Langsam wird es ausgeglichener. Betonung auf langsam.

>Voting = "cause (someone) to gain or lose a particular post or honour by means of a vote"

Very selective on the sentence you choose. what about a vote to get rid of something, or a vote in a group of friends for pizza or burgers. Voting also isn't purely on the basis of government.

In a book that shows feminists hate men, the definition must be that they hate men, written by a feminist. So again this is why the dictionary definition doesn't say equal rights for all because SOME feminists don't believe in that. a definition needs to define the term which is true all the time not just some. (its simplest form).

Listen we are going round in circles. your argument for it democracy isn't descriptive enough and feminists fight for men's rights too, therefore, the definition is incorrect as feminists have themselves redefined the definition so we should take it as that. fine, I've got your point. I disagree with it on its whole and am now fed up trying to find new ways to tell how how a dictionary works.

In addition to its basic function of defining words, a dictionary may provide information about their pronunciation, grammatical forms and functions, etymologies, syntactic peculiarities, variant spellings, and antonyms.

What is the difference between a dictionary, an encyclopedia and a thesaurus?

Even though this section focuses on dictionaries, it will be useful initially to distinguish between a dictionary, an encyclopedia and a thesaurus. Both a dictionary and an encyclopedia are reference works, but whereas an encyclopedia conveys knowledge about the world as we know it (e.g. things, people, places and ideas), the dictionary gives information about certain items in the communication system (the language) used by people to exchange messages about the world. A further distinction can be made between a dictionary and a thesaurus, where the latter can be seen as a word book which is structured around lexical items of a language according to sense relations, most notably synonomy (words having the same or very similar meanings) (Kirkness, 2004). source

>I have no idea what You’re trying to say

Well er, not to be flippant, but maybe try reading my comment again.

Here are the salient points again:

Vocal gender hostility exists in both camps, however the social dominance of feminism means misandry gets a pass and sometimes a cookie, while misogyny does not. Since this does not seem to be in line with exhortations about 'equality' it appears feminism has a major hypocrisy problem and is sinking by the head. And not just there.
Particularly when you have lauded articles in national newspapers like "Why can't we hate men" written by people with qualifications as feminists. Or awful guff like this described as "a more frank approach to sexism and gender violence" instead of the sheer misandrous bile it is.

In other words, People who self identify as feminists and have actual qualifications as feminists and who teach feminism are the very ones writing option pieces titled: Why Can't we Hate Men, and books titled "I hate men"

I'll just add this book, it'll be out by November 26th.

"I hate men" - https://www.amazon.com/dp/0008457581

It's already out in French (where it has sparked quiet a debate, since the government tried to ban it, yes, tried to make it illegal) - https://www.amazon.fr/Moi-hommes-déteste-Pauline-Harmange/dp/2021476839

>She said misandry was often seen as a joke or, worse, a tool to discredit feminists, but she believes there is nothing wrong with owning this hatred, which she says is legitimate given the harm men do to women.
>
>“Misandry exists only as a reaction to misogyny, which is at the root of systemic violence,” she writes. The book cites statistics from 2018 showing that 96% of people convicted of domestic violence were men and 99% of those convicted of sexual violence were men. “Whereas misandry has never killed anyone,” Harmange writes.
