As of lately, I've found my contempt for third-wave feminism to incrementally flourish every time I find itself in a facet of my day-to-day life, which happens to be every day in my circumstance. And each time, I find another reason to loathe the modern feminist movement, alongside with its community.
The innocent campaigns to raise awareness for breast cancer and violence against women are so frustrating for me to see. I wholeheartedly advocate the message behind these campaigns; however, they fail to contribute to the bigger problem at hands. These campaigns perpetuate certainly woeful truths regarding women and these woeful truths are wholly-deserving of change, but, these campaigns seem to fail to understand that illness and violence are not women issues, but people issues. One in seven men will get prostate cancer while one in eight women will get breast cancer - yet - prostate cancer receives half the financial funding breast cancer receives. And while numerous studies have demonstrated women are just as likely, if not more likely, than men to be physically aggressive with their spouses or partners, men continue to be painted as being the violent ones and the women as the helpless victims.
There is a disturbing and crippling double-standard to most, if I daresay all, feminist rhetoric.
I've lost multiple friends and have had my heart broken on two different occasions because of my opposition to modern feminism. Rather than looking at our mutual interest in equality, they looked at my opposition to their ideology, then ostracized me from their lives.
