is there anything more sad than those males who self identify as Male Feminists?

I don’t see it that way, I see it as men who have contributed to feminist theory.

@Torsten according to Norway’s gender equality act, legislation is provided for equal opportunist for men and women.

Article 1 Objectives of the Act

This Act shall promote equal status between the sexes and aims in particular at improving the position of women.

Public authorities shall promote gender equality in all sectors of society.

Women and men shall be given equal opportunities in education, employment and cultural and professional advancement.

Article 2 Subject of the Act

This Act applies to discrimination between men and women in all areas, except for internal conditions within religious communities.

With regard to family life and purely personal matters, this Act is not to be enforced by the authorities mentioned in Art. 10.

In special cases the King may determine that the Act shall not apply, in whole or in part, to certain specific sectors. The opinion of the Board (cf. Art. 10) shall be obtained in such cases.

Article 3 General clause

Differential treatment of women and men is not permitted.

The term "differential treatment" means treatment differentiating between men and women because they are of different sexes. The term also covers treatment which de facto results in an unreasonable disadvantage for one sex compared to the other.

Differential treatment which promotes gender equality in conformity with the objective of this Act, is not in contravention with the first paragraph. This also applies to special rights given to women based on the bioligical differences between the sexes.

The King may issue regulations regarding the kinds of differential treatment which can be accepted pursuant to this Act, including provisions on positive special treatment of men in relation to care for and education of children.

Article 4 Recruitment etc.

A job vacancy must not be advertised as being restricted to one sex unless there is an obvious reason for doing so. Nor must the announcement give the impression that the employer expects or prefers one of the sexes for the position.

In recruitment, promotion, notice to leave or temporary lay-offs of employees, no difference must be made between men and women in contravention with Art. 3.

A job applicant who has not obtained an announced position may require that the employer state in writing the education, experience and other clearly demonstrable qualifications for the position which are possessed by the person of the opposite sex appointed to the job.

If differential treatment of women and men in recruitment, promotion, notice to leave or temporary lay-offs can be established, the employer must substantiate that this is not due to the gender of the applicants or the employees.

Article 5 Equal pay

Women and men employed by the same employer shall have equal pay for work of equal value.

The term "pay" includes ordinary remuneration for work as well as other supplements or cash bonuses, and other benefits given by the employer.

The term "equal pay" means that the pay is to be determined in the same manner for men and women regardless of gender.

If differential treatment regarding wages can be established between men and women performing work of equal value, the employer must substantiate that this is not due to the gender of the employees.

The King may prescribe by regulation what is to be considered the same employer in central and local government service.

Article 6 Education

Women and men shall have equal right to education.

The employer shall consider women and men on equal terms regarding training, further education and in granting leave of absence in connection with education etc.

Regarding admission to courses, schools and studies, and other efforts designed to promote recruitment to a particular trade or profession and when conditions are approximately equal, it will be possible to give priority to one sex if this will help to regulate in the long term any imbalance between the sexes in the trade or profession in question.

If differential treatment relating to circumstances mentioned in the second paragraph of this article can be established, the employer must substantiate that this is not due to the gender of the employees.

Article 7 Teaching aids

In schools and other educational institutions the teaching aids used shall be based on gender equality.

Article 8 Associations

Any association shall be open to women and men on equal terms if

the membership of the association is of importance for the individual memberŽs possibility for work or professional advancement, or
the object of the association is essentially to contribute to a solution to general problems of a social nature.
The injunctions of the first pragraph does not apply to associations where the main object is to promote the interests of one of the sexes.

Article 9 Gender Equality Council

The King shall appoint a Gender Equality Council where the authority and the number of members are to be decided by the Storting at any time.

Article 10 Enforcement of the Act

The King shall appoint a Gender Equality Ombud and a Board - the Gender Equality Board of Appeals - to collaborate in the implementation of this Act. The competence of the Ombud and the Board shall comprise, with the limitations given in the second paragraph of Art. 2, all private enterprise as well as all administrative and commercial activities in the public sector. The Ombud is appointed by the King for six years at a time.

The board shall consist of seven members with personal deputies. Two of the members with deputies shall be appointed at the recommendation of the Norwegian Federation of Trade Unions and the Norwegian EmployerŽs Confederation respectively. The King shall appoint the chairperson and the deputy chairperson, one of whom must possess the qualifications specified for a judge.

You: men who are feminists are simps and women get special rights! The wage gap isn't real!

Reality:
Feminism helps everyone including cis men who are harmed by many of the same toxic gender stereotypes as women. Men who are feminists = people who know what's good for them.

People who can get pregnant have had their right to bodily autonomy under attack for ... *checks notes* ... literally all of human history. What special rights are you talking about??

I'll give you that the wage gap is something I don't fully understand and it seems to me like a minimal thing.

However, take into account the expense and physical/emotional toll of having a menstrual cycle. The time and the effort it takes to maintain a body that menstruates is a legit detriment to quality of life. I am speaking from experience. Menstrual products might not be prohibitively expensive, but add the insult of a LUXURY tax to that. People who menstruate are getting nickled and dimed!!

Then there is missed work and if a person with a uterus decides to get pregnant there are tons of expenses there, not just financial but physical and emotional as well. Pregnancy can make you lose your teeth and your hair.

Ths expectations on appearance are insane as well. Yeah, guys have their own toxic appearance culture but holy crap it is NOTHING compared to what women deal with.

Don't even get me started on the pink tax!!!

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Incel-ass post.

Still struggling grasping the definition of "feminism" or is this post made just out of sadness because they've just seized Tate's cars (and not released him still)? 🤪

Legitimate reasons exist for supporting feminist causes regardless of someone is a guy or a girl(example being abortion rights) but you're focusing on dudes who are desperate who use the feminist angle in order to try to get laid. You can find dudes who try to be a lot of things, that are equally sad, just to get laid.

Tell us you're terrible in bed without telling us you're terrible in bed.

Feminists

[quote] an advocate of women's rights on the basis of the equality of the sexes[/quote]

Yea, they’re so sad…imagine wanting your sister or wife or daughter to have equal rights, what losers 🙄

You make these posts and you just come across as a very insecure person!

Male Feminists = Nancy Boys

Men should act like men, and not go around like a little fairy trying to impress women

Funny how mostly men call you a misogynist in the comments... they must feel called out.
Modern feminism is unhinged and the men supporting it are lost.

I seen on the news yesterday in Canada a male teacher started to go to school wearing women clothes and had on huge fake breast. The report said the school is thinking of changing the teacher dress code. I'm like omfg u are thinking of changing the dress code for teacher's.

Opinions are like arseholes, everyone has one, soem are one and you are welcome to yours... I'm totally cool with you being wrong.

toxic feminists are not the same as the movement for wanting equality for women. please Do not lump them all together because of one psycho extremist group.🤣

Feminism also benefits men a lot.

Look if I may ask a question what are u trying 2 do in your posts?
1: Im a bored loser and have nothing better to do than upset people.
2: Im gay so upsetting girls doesnt matter to me.
3: Im on a search for other like minded people so I can plan an attack.

I cant think of any other reasons much🤷‍♀️

Real men get laid🤷‍♀️.
Dont get judgey about how they get there.....still getting laid

I don't shit on other men's game. Thats not cool.

If it works for them and it gets them pussy then by all means brothers get yours. By any means.

@Torsten there are different types of radical feminism. You live in Norway and according to the info I posted, your gender equality act is very….equal. So the issue is a personal one. So to make blanket statements is risky.

There is nothing more sad than the "men" who say "You can change your girlfriend but youcan't change the football club you support". If I had a "boyfriend" like that, I'd call that a piece of shit, not a man. For those girls who have a "boyfriend" like that, DUMP THE BASTARD!

I’d say the fact that the fear of many men is a smart girl is sad.

I never understood that

the feminists who fall for it?

What an astoundingly dumb, misogynistic post. What is your major malfunction?

I've never heard of these. Are they panty wearers? I've heard of those on SW 🤔

They don’t mind being friend zoned. They just hope that one day it will lead to more.

Some middle-aged male post some BS and it gets 205 responses? You ought to start a YouTube channel or you spat off about this crap and actually make money off of it.

We call that simping

This is a spoof/troll/catfish acc(o)unt right?

Although rare I assume that there might be some men who describe themselves in that way from an academic perspective not to pick up women.
I think they mean that they support female empowerment.
I am a female that is not even a feminist herself but I don't immediately judge anyone who says that they are because it depends on how they meant it.

Women deserve equal rights. Men haven’t suffered because women have been gaining rights.

Please try putting yourselves in our shoes. You seem very skewed with your situation over the custody of your son and I can sympathize with that and understand how stressful and terrifying it was to lose your son that way.

Men have not suffered because women have gained rights though and if you see it that way then I don’t know what to say.

This is a great way to stack up sw coins
