Feminism fights to harm men.

I have given ample amounts of evidence to show feminism fights to harm men. New arguments The next time you switch on the television, count how many programs have the token "stupid boyfriend" or "abusive husband" or "pedophilic father" figure. Switch over to a children"s channel / time window and watch how many cartoons or programs reflect "silly daddy" characters or "bullying big brother". Don"t forget, of course, nearly all the women in these same programs will be smart, sexy, sassy and full of beans, capable of juggling a career lifestyle with children, a husband and a social circle " let"s not forget that she"s undoubtedly a wonderful cook and always remembers everybody"s birthdays. If these images are being constantly spread out over our airwaves, what does that tell our children who are growing up watching & learning daily, hourly, that men are just so stupid, abusive and " well, useless? Father's rights group want shared parenting (equal custody) to be the default if both parents want custody and neither parent is unfit. They feel that men should not be punished for being men, and that women should not be awarded custody to their kids simply for being women. Currently women are awarded primary custody almost all the time, even if the husband was the stay-at-home Dad and the woman was the breadwinner. Feminists fought against this. You can read NOW"s own statement here. Also note their usage of anti-male lies, i.e. "fathers are abusive, don"t give them custody." Men want an end to the justice system favoring women simply because they are women, and giving men harsher sentences simply because they are men. Feminists fought against this, arguing that no woman should be sent to jail, even women who had murdered multiple people. Men want equal treatment when victims of domestic violence, and to not be arrested for the crime of "being male" under primary aggressor policies. Feminists fought against this by trying to suppress evidence showing that half of domestic violence is done by women, by threatening the researchers with bomb threats, death threats, etc. Modern, younger feminists are doing it as well. And sadly, they were successful in this effort of propaganda. For decades, and continuing today, "violent" men are convicted and punished by the state, while violent women are left to freely terrorize and harm their partners. Rebuttals The literal definition of feminism is tainted by the feminism of today, that is no longer about gender equality, and I have provided ample amounts of proof. Definitions are defeated easily by this proof. Radical/Extremist feminists are the most prominent and famous feminists, so they successful changed the definition of feminism. Famous Feminists Quotes!
