You do realize that when there is imbalance you need to add more weight to the lighter side first to bring back balance. Why would someone trying to acheive balance add weight to both sides? All that would do is just add more weight but the balance would still be off. If there are two hungry individuals and you have a loaf of bread to give them, one already has a loaf of bread how would you distribute the bread? I consider myself a feminist and I am male so what am I an oxymoron? Do I advocate my own downfall and subjecation?
Anyway his post said feminism is garbage not that feminist organizations are garbage. Feminism discribes an ideal or movement not a predetermined set of steps to acheive such goals but certain organizatons do that and that is where the disagreement usually lies with most people. Attacking feminism as a whole is a fallacy.

Two wrongs don't make a right... You don't make the world a better place by drawing war lines. Peace isn't made by making bigger bombs (okay, maybe Mutually Assured Destruction is a thing, but that doesn't make it an ideal). Modern feminism, as it is most often propagated, is bullshit...
So why be a feminist when you can be an egalitarian? Why not try to make the world better for everyone? Feminists often operate by making human issues into women's issues: harrassment? women's issue. bullying? women's issue. idealization by the media? women's issue. These are all just issues, no need to throw men by the wayside to make the world a better place.
PS: GamerGate is in no way anti women or any other group of people. There is a huge difference between being anti-SJW/Feminism and being anti-woman. #NotYourShield is a pretty good example of the inclusivity of GamerGate...

Who said I wasn't egalitarian? Feminism doesn't cancel out egalitarianism.
