I actually think The Truth makes a good illustrative flipped example of the issue with feminism, to be fair. This is more or less my experience of discussing feminist issues with most feminists, and the but I've made bold is pretty much what it usually feels like to try. Or even to observe.

Note that I don't think the truth is actually trying to portray satire, I'm sure he actually believes a lot of what he's saying, but then, so do "forceful feminists"...

I guess a "forceful feminist" is just a nice word for a sexist woman though. Feminism in the true sense of the word should just be about equality imo and I strongly disagree that male suicide rates are up because a minority of forceful feminists have taken over the world. That's not helpful to the issue at all imo

In my experience, unfortunately, the vast majority of active feminism is sexist. Ranging from "a little bit" to "extremely" - but feminist articles (propaganda?) is constantly springing up and being "liked" all over my Facebook and I'm genuinely struggling to think of a recent example that wasn't sexist or didn't make me feel "lumped into a box" with other penis-wielders as described above.

How influential are these feminist groups though really? I can honestly say that I haven't come across any groups like this in my everyday life and do you feel that they're responsible for male suicide rates?
