Woman Tries To Make Fun Of This Guy’s Take On Modern Feminism, And His Response Goes Viral
When your profile on Tumblr says that “Modern Feminism, Progressivism, and Antifa are dangerous embarrassments,” you can pretty much guarantee that somebody, at some point, is going to call you out on it. And that’s exactly what happened.
“Aw. Aren’t you the cutest?” Wrote somebody anonymously. “Men who are scared of strong women are so adorable.” Clearly anticipating this kind of response, the author of the blog launched into a lengthy description about what, according to him, constitutes a “strong women.” It’s since been viewed over 200k times in just 14 hours, but the responses have been mixed. Some agree with him, but others don’t. What do you think? Let us know in the comments below.

... I have great trouble with thoses kind edited conversations where we are asked to have an opinion about a discussion we know nothing about. I am feminist and i am reaaaally botherer by those feminazis because i want women having the same possibilies than men would have in the same situation. I want freedom of choice for me, my daughter, my siters, my cousins (girls)... just as i want it for my son, husband, cousins (boys)... I don't fight patriarcal model to be told by a woman that i must stop breasfeeding because that is female slavery (heard twice last month) or stuff like that. But, here, i have no idee why this anonymous post that. Maybe it was a troll, maybe (s)he's answering a mysoginist comment, maybe she's a femazi... I am not fortune teller so... no opinion here

Breastfeeding slavery... lol. That's the dumbest thing yet I've heard about breastfeeding (and the alternative is cow milk...? So that's... okay to those people or something? I mean if they're gonna b***h about slavery....). Yeah giving your kids what they need or what is best for them requires sacrifice, that's for sure. Sacrifice isn't the same as slavery. Slavery is unwilling and forced; it's to have your rights as a humanbeing violated. If you see breastfeeding as some kind of violation then so is pregnancy so why even have kids to begin with? Having kids either way means a lot of sacrifice, that doesn't stop after the breast. It means sacrificing time, money, sometimes dreams, to somebody else. If someone's unwilling to do that... well... don't have kids.

Feminism is about equality, nothing more, anything else ascribed to feminism is made up BS by people who do not understand the meaning of the word equality

But have you ever heard of feminist that degrade men? I believe in equality, but i am not a feminist because a lot of feminist treat men like garbage. Women cant to do ALL the things that men do and vice versa, but both genders are equally important. Like, if we believe in equality, then should men still give up their seats or open doors? Its confusing to me...

Strong men don't mew about women who mew, if we're gonna go on the strength shaming ^^ Look, I'd get bothered, too, if I read something like #giveyourmoneytowomen (that's like the least feminist thing I've ever heard). And yes I think being kind is the greatest way to be strong. But that doesn't mean you have to be kind to people who treat you like a chunk of meat. Some of stuff he mentions makes me think he thinks being a man includes having the right to being a douche and that if a woman's bothered with them being a douche then she's not 'strong'. Like the catcalling and the manspreading. I mean, that's just expecting men to behave like civilized creatures. I don't subscribe to this boys will be boys concept...
Kori K. Warriner 7 years ago
Um, being a feminist does NOT include being okay with men manspreading or cat-calling. It means that if we did that stuff, we would be viewed in a negative way, so men shouldn't do it either. EQUALITY.

He is right in describing strong women, but goes on to say that strong women don't stand up for themselves? That they should put up with catcalling because they are strong? This makes no sense. I like how "putting others down" now means voicing injustice and opinions.
Alexandru Bucur 7 years ago
This is some prime b******t right here. You don't get to tout the achievement of others and use them as a club to beat people you don't like. This is exactly like telling men to "grow up" and stop being "pusillanimous hypocrites" if they complain of being treated unfairly in society because your grandpa stormed the beaches of Normandy and HE didn't complain about it. YOU didn't storm those beaches however, the achievement isn't yours, so I don't think you have the right to use it this way. If your grandma has this opinion, then let HER express it, but you don't get to speak FOR HER and especially not using her achievement to p**s on others. Besides, nobody assigned you the gatekeeper of what feminism is or should be and what people are or aren't allowed to complain about, especially if YOU haven't confronted those problems yourself, so in the end you just come about as a condescending prick hiding behind his grandma's skirt to justify his own slanted view.

When you're walking down a street, get catcalled and then called "a s**t" because you didn't humour them - that's *their* problem, because they're the douchebags. Do not empower them by getting angry, they're not worth it. You know what you are, don't get down to their level.
Tim Clark 7 years ago
Look like the comments from a man that doesn't have daughters, is content with lowest common denominator male behaviour, and who clearly needed to be brought up by a lady that had to be strong despite men. Here is a man that clearly recognises human compassion yet makes no apology for catcalling. I'd love to know the names he enjoys being called by females. For balance, of course.

This guy clearly is impressed by his mother and grandmother, but his view of women is basically "shut up until you've survived nazi-occupied Poland." Why should women put up with cat-calling or man-spreading? Without protest, nothing changes, nothing progresses. My take away from this guy's vision of ideal womanhood is that women should do is women should sacrifice and never complain.

My grandmother, who had an incredible brutal and difficult life and survived would have made short work of any man who cat-called her. As for manspreading? she would have marched up to anyone who did it and told them how rude they are. And if anyone told her she didn't have equal rights because she was a woman would have felt the full extent of her wrath.

I think he came back with a brilliant response to that rude woman. She came at him strictly to try and embarrass him, but by own words, she showed just how low minded she was and not very articulate either. He could have stooped to her level with name calling yet he chose a more sane answer. As a very strong woman, I liked what he said and he had every right to say it to her. That woman probably should have stopped first and thought about what she really needed to say instead of jumping onto the sight, with the express purpose of showing him up. She thought she was so clever but she only ended up showing how ignorant she really is.

The people who disagree with him are most definitely the exact people the man are targeting. They (like all radical feminists) are insecure when called out on their irrational, hypocritical, callous behavior, and immediately try to call "Misogyny". And they wonder why men don't listen..

Social Justice Warriors are not enemies of men, or disrespectful of men. Equality is a human concept, it doesn't mean anyone loses.
Yashica Sadam 7 years ago
So the fact that the women in your family were strong means that suddenly the women stand up against today's discriminations aren't strong? Just because we are not in the middle of a war, does not mean that the women that are vocal about their opinions about issues that need to stop are weak. Catcalling is an issue is not only rude and offensive at times, it demonstrates the lack of respect some men have for women, and so does manspreading. Being a feminist means that you want women to have the same rights and opportunities as men, regardless of your sex. Being a feminist means that you want your daughter to be able to do whatever your son can, and vice versa. We've been given a bad reputation thanks to the ones that do put down men- some that deserve it, others that don't- but all we're really fighting for is to be treated as equals. Programs like #giveyourmoneytowomen (which I haven't heard of until today) don't have a feminist agenda and are helping give us a bad name.

How many times has everyone confused feminism with privelege? I have the privelege to vote because a Feminist (Susan B. Anthony)fought for it. I have a credit card because a Feminist fought for it(1974). I have the Privlege to marry outside my race because A Man fought for it(Loving vs. State of VA.) How many things do we take for granted because we (everyone) was born into it? And "catcalling" is what they pick to argue about? I'm speechless.
