Evidence Feminism Is Sexism

The Washington Post recently published an article titled "Why can’t we hate men?"  The article was written by Suzanna Danuta Walters, a feminist professor at Northeastern University.

She writes:

"it seems logical to hate men. I can’t lie, I’ve always had a soft spot for the radical feminist smackdown, for naming the problem in no uncertain terms. I’ve rankled at the “but we don’t hate men” protestations of generations of would-be feminists and found the “men are not the problem, this system is” obfuscation too precious by half."

 Walters then makes blanket statements based on gender:

"[Globally], women experience sexual violence, and the threat of that violence permeates our choices big and small. In addition, male violence is not restricted to intimate-partner attacks or sexual assault but plagues us in the form of terrorism and mass gun violence. Women are underrepresented in higher-wage jobs, local and federal government, business, educational leadership, etc.; wage inequality continues to permeate every economy and almost every industry; "

In Walters feminist viewpoint, if a man does something wrong, anywhere in the world, then men across the globe are responsible. Feminists judge people on the basis of their gender rather than their actions. Additionally, it should be noted, studies show women are responsible for almost half of all intimate partner violence. Two such studies are here and here. Lastly, women's so called 'underrepresentation', at least in the US government, is a result of democracy. Political office is obtained by winning elections. Numerous female candidates have run for political office claiming they support feminist ideas  and demonstrate they are concerned only about women's issues. These candidates are often (but not always) defeated during elections. Perhaps if more female candidates show they can stand up to feminist hate and demonstrate they also represent men's issues, they might win elections.

The writer then cites Iceland as a country where “inequities have been radically minimized". This is an ironic choice considering Iceland has the most depressed and medically doped up population in the industrialized world.

The feminist concludes her Washington Post article by stating:

"So, in this moment, here in the land of legislatively legitimated toxic masculinity, is it really so illogical to hate men? For all the power of #MeToo and #TimesUp and the women’s marches, only a relatively few men have been called to task, and I’ve yet to see a mass wave of prosecutions or even serious recognition of wrongdoing. On the contrary, cries of “witch hunt” and the plotted resurrection of celebrity offenders came quick on the heels of the outcry over endemic sexual harassment and violence. But we’re not supposed to hate them because .?.?. #NotAllMen. I love Michelle Obama as much as the next woman, but when they have gone low for all of human history, maybe it’s time for us to go all Thelma and Louise and Foxy Brown on their collective butts."

"So men, if you really are #WithUs and would like us to not hate you for all ....Pledge to vote for feminist women only. Don’t run for office. Don’t be in charge of anything. Step away from the power. We got this. And please know that your crocodile tears won’t be wiped away by us anymore. We have every right to hate you. You have done us wrong. #BecausePatriarchy. It is long past time to play hard for Team Feminism. And win."

Voting for candidates on the basis of gender is what feminism represents. Barring people from political office because they are male is a principle of feminism. 

The sexism projected against men in this article is similar to the sexism displayed in an NBCNews article written by a different feminist. The NBCNews article claimed male brains become damaged when men are promoted into positions of authority such as management.

The Washington Post article is hate speech. It is based on feminist gender stereotypes. Men are characterized as violent, oppressive and rapists. Women are seen as victims, benevolent and harmless. The article is more evidence feminism is an ideology of sexism and hate.
