Why Are Feminists Evil?

Is it? Because it can be interepreted in many ways. One of them is that people who hate feminists focus so much on the radicals that the whole movement is paint in the worst colours possible to the point than no one wants to support it other than people who don't care about other people's opinion all that much.

I don't consider myself a feminist, but I'm glad the feminist movement exist. Statistics like that can be incredibly misleading.

So, what you're trying to say with the statistics comment? Can't be trusted, or what? If those statistics can't be trusted, can we trust the statistics the feminists use to prove their point on gender unequality? If we can, why can we trust them, but not these statistics?

Gonna have to quote myself to answer that.

"Tbh, I have to agree with some people that say that some of these statistics are wrong or at least misleading. Like, do they take into account how dangerous some of the jobs that some men do compare to the jobs women are assigned to in the same company?

Or, would you, as an employer hire a woman in her early thirties who hasn't had a baby but is married over a man with similar qualifications? Would you promote a woman who will most likely need to be absent from work for long periods in the future?"

 

The polls the other user cited show that most people don't claim to be feminists, not that they don't like the feminist movement, not that there is anything wrong with feminism. So, yes, it is misleading. Out of the people who answered, who knows what they meant when they said they're not feminists. It could mean a whole lot of things (hated, indifferent to them, kind of like them, like them, but I'm not part of their group, etc). If someone were to ask me "are you a buddhist?", I would answer "no", but based on what I've heard about it, I'd say its message sounds great. I just don't want to label myself that way.
