A GOP Lawmaker Has Been Exposed As A Notorious Reddit Misogynist

I think a more appropriate way to phrase it is that there are issues specific to men (which, incidentally, are addressed by feminism in many cases). We don't need a movement because we aren't disenfranchised in any way. However, I'm often reluctant to speak up about any issue that troubles me, because the message given to men (even if unintentional) is that any amount of not measuring up or lack of greatness in our life is an individual failure on our parts because life has generally dealt a much shittier hand to women.

Men understand that women have it harder, and that it's mostly because of what men have done. That being said: men have issues within our gender that don't involve the subjugation of women that are worthy of being talked about, acknowledged, and solved.

I consider myself a feminist. I'd be lying if I didn't say that sometimes I feel like my issues as a man are treated as something to be pushed aside, laughed at, or ignored within feminism. I think that's a big part of the reason so many men in conservative areas (areas where sexual assault, harassment, etc aren't talked about and seem like non-issues) immediately disregard feminism as hogwash.
