I am not a feminist because I don't identify with most movements because people will assume many things about what I believe that I probably don't even agree with. I believe that women are smart and strong and are also different than men and occupy different roles in the family and community. But, why is feminism this hot button issue for men lately? Why is the narrative so negative? I've never even hung out with any hard core feminists so why are men so focused on this as a major issue? Has it really been that bad for our society if so why do you feel that way?

Feminism has been a massively positive development in Western society, and complaints to the contrary are outright laughable. Might as well ask if abolitionism has been a positive movement.

There is [i]some[/i] merit in discussing whether the end result has been achieved in the west, and what level is militancy is appropriate at this time - and whether society’s normal mechanisms are enough to resolve any issues that crop up going forward.

But overall impact? Fucking lol.
