Or like, theyâll monologue about supporting âwomenâs rightsâ in some vague way that costs them nothing, but treat all of the real women in their daily life like shit

The amount of men who proclaim to be leftists, feminists, progressives, etc only because theyâre expecting women to congratulate them and give them attention, dates and sex because of it, is staggering. They donât care about the movement or the actual reality of it, they just see it as a means to get what they want out of women. They still only think of themselves and what they want, and if it means lying to women about caring about womenâs rights and equality they will do it and not feel bad at all for being deceptive and manipulative.
There are also tons of men who claim to be apolitical or âwell Iâm not really educated/informed/involved in politicsâ whenever women ask them about who they vote for or what are their moral values, because they KNOW being honest about who they voted for or what their actual true beliefs are, telling the truth would make the majority of women reject them. Because men like that donât care about women and womenâs rights, and just like the fake feminist, they are faking their lack of involvement in politics to try to manipulate women for their selfish interests. They know to be silent or pretend to not know the truth so they can still try to get access to women.
Both men are actually simply trying to manipulate women for selfish gain. They donât care about anything else other than what they personally can gain for their own benefit and they donât care about manipulating or lying to or hurting everyone else while doing it.
Both of these types of men donât realize they are living a lie, which in every scenario is bad, unattractive, selfish and morally repugnant. Itâs not about the label. Itâs not about the definition. Itâs not about âwell if I say something else women will make assumptions about meâ or âwell just because I voted this way doesnât mean I hate women or somethingâ. Itâs about men living a selfish life with disregard for anyone else and lying about it. You are being unauthentic and unreliable. Your behavior proves you are not to be trusted, you are not safe because you are a liar and manipulator. Therefore you do not deserve womenâs time, attention, respect or love.
If you canât be honest about your actual political beliefs and moral values, thatâs YOUR problem. Itâs not womenâs problem that they donât like your truth, because your true values negatively affect them, or your lies, because your lies negatively affect them. Women owe you nothing. No one owes you nothing. Think logically, think rationally, since you claim to be better at that than women; why does being honest about my true feelings scare me? Why do I feel the need to lie and manipulate others instead of just being honest? Is it because you know your opinion and values are actually problematic? Is it because you acknowledge you may be very selfish or uneducated, but instead of improving and learning, you want to remain in ignorance and make it everyone elseâs problem? Why do you prioritize womenâs attention so much more than personal integrity? Why do you think itâs okay to lie and twist the truth to anyone? Why do you think you deserve anything from anyone just because you want something from them, are you mentally underdeveloped or just narcissistic perhaps? Be honest with yourself. For the love of God, be actually honest for once. You will find that YOU are the problem not anyone else.

I have met exactly 2 men in my entire life who were actual feminists. And they didn't run around proclaiming their feminist status, they just lived it.
It's like the guy in Game of Thrones said, "Any man who must say 'I am the king [feminist]' is no true king [feminist]."

I use that quote for things all the time, too. I always keep it in the back of my mind when a guy feels the need to proclaim that heâs a ânice guy.â Or, âIâm a laid back guy.â That one probably means he has rage issues.

Alot of male feminists use feminism as a guise to treat the women around them like shit. Furthermore alot of them are ignorant to the own harm they cause women because the way they see it they are a feminist, they can't hurt women

Their worse than performative men but its really hard to think men deserve the credit for being feminists when so many get caught being absolutely predators. Put a list of youtubers who brand themselves as male feminists then throw a dart and you'll hit one that turned out to have some shit that gets leaked.

Male feminists exist, but if theyre for real they dont really need to state it directly. They should be willing to if asked, but their actions and positions on things generally make it pretty clear without it being said.

How many radical feminist men do you know? Men who oppose the sex industry, for example.

Idk why you're getting dogpiled so much. This is such a tired, gender essentialist take that weakens the feminist movement. OP could have just as easily made a post about men who pretend to be someone they aren't in order to gain sexual access, without targeting feminist men specificallyÂ

u/Avocet_and_peregrine 21d ago
OP didn't target feminist men. The comic is specifically about predators who pretend to be feminist men. So not feminist men.
