No, the reason is that it's socially beneficial for them to avoid the label because of all the lies that are told and believed about feminism.

People have been claiming that feminists are ugly, man-hating, female supremacists with no sense of humour for WELL OVER A HUNDRED YEARS, jsyk.

It would help if large portions of the internet didn't support this. The difference between 100 years ago is that these people are out in the open and can have their views validated by other crazies.

I have actual family members who think this way :(

(Anonymous) 2015-03-16 07:11 am (UTC)(link)
Same. Although to be fair they tend to think this because of this one crazy aunt I have.

Family: "Feminists are crazy"
Me: "No we're not. We just want equality"
Aunt: "That's right, we just want women to be equal to men. The best way to do this is through selective abortion so that the male population is roughly one third that of women"
Me: "God damn it Aunty stop helping!" (Of course I don't say this, because she is, to be perfectly honest, FUCKING CRAZY. and more than a little violent)

lol woooooow.

I guess I'm lucky that I only have one kind of crazy in my family, not both.

(Anonymous) 2015-03-15 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
And more and more places like tumblr and ONTD are proving them right

(Anonymous) 2015-03-15 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
This, full stop. There is no amount of feminism that won't get a woman called a man-hating harpy. Even Emma Watson got death threats for being a feminist and she's as inoffensive as it gets.

(Anonymous) 2015-03-15 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Augu I know. I once got called a "misandrist" because I said I wanted male politicians to do more research before trying to outright ban abortion, because they'll never have to go through with it and don't know what it's like.
Apparently that secretly meant I hated all men and wanted to kill them lol.

(Anonymous) 2015-03-15 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, and people in this thread who call themselves egalitarian get accused of being misogynists simply for wanting to choose a different label. Funny how that works.

where has a self-identified egalitarian been directly accused of being misogynist?

(Anonymous) 2015-03-15 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Exactly. Anon brought it up for litteraly no reason. Like lol the equalitarians in this thread aren't doing a very good job of defending themselves.

(Anonymous) 2015-03-16 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
Stating that most if not all people who call themselves egalitarian are just some sort of misogynistic people who are against true gender equality basically implies that at least a part of the egalitarians here falls into this category as well, imo. You can't just make sweeping generalisations about a group and then expect members of that group not to feel addressed somehow.

ok but was that directed at any "egalitarian" individual here? I don't fully agree with the generalization, but it's still different than levying that accusation directly at people in the thread.

(Anonymous) 2015-03-16 07:06 am (UTC)(link)
No, it wasn't, and oddly enough no feminist has taken the "man-hating harpies" comments - which are much more common and nasty - personally. Go figure.

(Anonymous) 2015-03-16 01:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh shut up of course they do.

[personal profile] diet_poison 2015-03-16 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Here, or in general?

(Anonymous) 2015-03-16 07:14 am (UTC)(link)
I do not agree.

Oh, I agree the death threat are bullshit, I just mean (and I say this as a feminist) I do not go along with some of the stuff she said in the "HE for SHE" speech.

I can kinda see why a guy might find it insulting. I found it a bit patronizing myself.
