I'm seeing a lack of understanding as to what feminists actually want...

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Anti-Feminism, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

What makes you think its a "woman" issue? It's not saying female feminists?

Perhaps it is speaking of feminists within our political system?

Their "anti-violence" Pro-wage equality" policies do treat women as first class while treating men like garbage, as the scapegoat for this problem and phenomena.

These policies that stereotype and discriminate against men are paid for with men's taxes. One of my countries socialist/feminist policies sees women getting greater welfare checks. The dated feminist theory that "men have an easier time making money" in this "patriarchy" is what these upper class white feminists in power based this inequality on. It would be a great equal rights case, except our charter of human rights has an addition which states that you actually can discriminate against men cause, again, feminists tell us men are "privileged" (allows for "affirmative action" without all those messy human rights lawsuits)

" We say your group has money so we say you deserve to be unequal" You see treating men like garbage and wallets.

Perhaps it refers to institutionalized feminisms long term "politically correct" effect on this culture, where in media today portraying women as inferior to men is wrong, while the reverse situation is the norm. Whole new generations being effected by the sexism feminists forgot, misandry.

Maybe It has the terms feminist and misandrist mixed, If feminism was actually about ending sexism, everyone would know what a misandrist is and perhaps the terms wouldn't be so easily confused.

What is wrong with standing up against ideologists that label your group as the heart of all societies ills and then advocate discrimination and advancements that favor their group exclusively?

Even if it is simply speaking of misandrists , what is wrong with standing up against sexist women that demean and dehumanize men and attempt to acquire a man's wealth?

I wish Paul McCartney would have been more angry at the system, the culture, than her.

Woah! One blog finds your picture and it's all of a sudden one of the most popular in your photostream! 120 views in one day!

yoshi3329 - I declined as I don't support anti-anything when that "anything" refers to a group of people (I'm anti-anti, if you will).

hujo27 - perhaps I made an inappropriate assumption. The "stop treating men as garbage and wallets" implies to me that the intended subject of this person's message is not a man, which doesn't necessarily mean a woman but in common terms usually does. While I respect your opinion (and will absolutely not delete it as, if I'm opposed to anything, I'm opposed to censorship), I respectfully disagree with your assumption that feminism = misandry (which is implied if not expressly stated). Even if it is occasionally true that feminists are misandrists (though in my personal experience that's generally not true), I take offence to a statement like this as much as I do a statement like "queer liberationist sodomites, stop raping our children" - it's not fair to stereotype a whole group based on the actions of a few (or even many). Further - while I think it's clear that this person probably does have issues with women, I never said that s/he didn't have the right to stand up and say it -- just that it's clear to me that s/he does have such issues. If anything, we should all speak (or graffiti) freely on whatever we feel - even if it is a little offensive.

On a related note, there are some really awesome/interesting comments on the post where this was cited on Feministing - check it out.

You should check out an identical statement on Church Street just at the north end of Maple Leaf Gardens on a grey Canada Post box, I believe.

Right on sweet one, great outlook on censorship!

I was not saying feminist= misandrist, i was trying to say maybe the terms were confused by the poster, i do not know what the writer was thinking.

I think there are feminists that care about people/society, I honestly think that feminist is the wrong term for them, people that care about people are more correctly labeled humanist. Other than them, yes i do think feminists have been conditioned by academia/media/government to be misandrist. They practice misandry while condemning mysogyny, (Again "we say men have more money (privileged) so we say they deserve to be unequal"), these supremacist positions are especially dangerous when practiced by feminists in power.

Every ideology needs to be questioned, following power blindly is always foolish.

Cheers!

FYI- Feministing does not share your views on censorship, they will not allow anyone a voice if they deviate from regurgitating lefty feminist theories. Lots of us anti-feminists try bringing the truth to feminist site readers, the feminists wont have it. They simply make examples out of anti-women/pro tradition people pretending this is anti-feminist, real anti-feminists, they censor.

While I still disagree with your views on feminism, I won't engage on that topic.

Re: censorship - keep in mind that private (in the ownership context, not the accessibility sense, of that word) spaces can choose what sort of content or activities they want engaged in. Feministing, as I understand it, is a space for feminists to share views and experiences - and it is also intended to promote feminist views. So if someone's posting something on there not consistent with their goal, it makes perfect sense to me that they would delete or otherwise 'censor' such posts. It is one thing to share your opinions in a public forum (like the streets, in the case of this one graffiti-er, or my Flickr page which is not here solely for the purpose of promoting any particular ideology), but imposing your opinions on others in their private sphere is intrusive. Wouldn't it be a better use of your time to share your views in the public sphere than on a site where those views are clearly not welcome?

Yes yes they do have the handy disclaimer. I just think it's revealing of cowardice that they constantly provide misogynists and traditionalists as examples of anti-feminists while they censor pure anti-feminist comment.

It's simply entertainment/marketing at that point IMO.

To question feminism, anywhere, means to be labeled a misogynist, a traditionalist, or as you say; to have "woman issues" Lets face it, to question feminism has become politically incorrect. (ideologies that are too taboo to question are scary, like fundamentalism)

Feminisms validity and effect on society has been a one sided debate for three decades, not surprising, censorship happy feminists maintain their movement is still valid and has a positive effect. They're societies unquestioned, biased, authority on gender status. I can understand why they have such a hard time with debate, it's the same reasons why the feminists with power can so easily lie, create inequality and use men as a scapegoat.

I personally think its pointless to sit in your own camp and preach to the choir, its safe, familiar, repetitive, feels good, like masturbation. I believe real debate between real opposing sides inspires a greater understanding of the truth. While keeping it safe and controlling the truth sells hand bags and books I guess?

To each their own.

Feministing brag about their radical feminist promoting activities on Flickr, Youtube, MySpace, Facebook and others. They like to move around in groups and back each other up while often censoring opposing views even when opposing views are presented without insults or ad hominems which is something they often fail within their own criticisms! For myself I am openly HOSTILE to such types of feminists because they are invariably hypocrits, bigots and (ironically) far worse sexists than those they often criticise.

sigh. at ease boys.

this is bordering on hateful and while I do oppose censorship, I won't allow hate language in *my* space either. I'm rather indifferent to what you have to say so while you're not preaching to the choir, you are preaching to annoyed passersby on the street who have better things to do with their time.

Hey man you brought them up?

My opinion of them is based on experience. It is "hateful" to have negative experience with feminists? I just took you for someone with an open mind. I was wrong? People with open minds are my target audience.

Peace.

@ cassandrajowett - thanks for the tip!

It looks like since being scrawled, people have posted ads which have been subsequently scraped off -- taking the graffiti with it.

It wasn't graffiti sweet one it was the truth - in the UK for example Harriet Harman is a member of the New Labour government cabinet AND a radical feminist. She has openly used her position to promote laws that ACTIVELY discriminate against men. In the family courts and in custody issues fathers are ROUTINELY used as nothing less than walking wallets whilst due process busting instruments which again have been promoted and defended by radical feminists are abused deliberately to facilitate the denying of access to a man's own children even whilst he is still forced to pay through the nose for their upkeep. They talk about 'deadbeat dads' yet the fact is that non custodial dads default far LESS than non custodial mums but you never hear about 'deadbeat mums'. Don't get me wrong - I'm an educated guy and I know that all feminists 'are not the same' - "Equity" feminists for example are truer to the dictionary definituion and are not 'victimologists' who seek to blame men for all their ills as do the radical\gender strains of feminism . It is a real shame that both 'classes' of feminists come under the common heading of 'feminism' for to me one type is a dirty word whereas the other is closer to my own sense of ethics and fair play even humanist I'd go so far as to say.

true or not (which I'm not debating any further), it's still graffiti. "markings, as initials, slogans, or drawings, written, spray-painted, or sketched on a sidewalk, wall of a building or public restroom, or the like" - dictionary.reference.com/browse/graffiti

Not saying that I disapprove of graffiti to communicate a point, it's all about public dialogue and I'm the biggest fan of culture jamming... but don't dispute the term.
