What is your stance on the claim that anti-feminism protects men's rights from being overshadowed by feminism?

All people were born equally, there are only two genders. Men were born as men, and women were born as women.

I believe that everyone should just be treated equality. End of converstation.

The purpose of the Feminist movement was to secure equal rights for everyone, not specifically downgrading the male gender. The anti-feminism does not protect men's rights from being overshadowed since their rights were not sacrificed to begin with.

I think feminism is unneeded now and anti-feminism is the wrong way to go about things as well. Equality starts with stopping seperation.

Feminism isn't the fight for women to have more rights than men-- it's a fight for EQUAL rights. Anti-feminism misinterprets the ideas of feminism

the only justification for Anti-feminism is for feminist extremists. Extremists of feminism give feminism a toxic image and should not be supported. Extremists give anti-feminism a reason to exist, and also make anti-feminism a toxic image. Extremists for either side just create a toxic conflict that does not develop anything

I feel like everyone was equal , but some people or gender can do things way better then the other.

all people are created equal and should be treated like equals

I don't believe that anti-feminism protects rights, and is more pointless than anything. Feminism exists to prove a point, not to support women who feel suppressed. Sure, men dominate many parts of the world, but women are not opposed to scaling up the hierarchy either. Instead, women and men should be given equal opportunities in business and finances.

I think its not overshadowed. I think Men and Women should have equal rights. For getting paid in the same jobs. People should be treated equally.

I think people often fundamentally misunderstand what feminism is. It is not about elevating women above men, it is about equality. Men are harmed by the patriarchy as much as women are. Feminism is just the belief that all genders should be equal, simple as that.

I support complete equality of everyone. I think that some Feminists can go too far and become openly hostile to men in general, which is above all else just rude and unhelpful, but there are tons of people who despise women and any movement towards the equality of women, which is also rude and unhelpful. Ultimately, I think gender equality should be on a case by case basis, and everyone should receive equitable access to services and things of that nature.

I think that since Feminism stands for equal rights for all, not just more women's rights, that it is stupid for anti-feminists to say that what they're doing is fair if they are anti-equal rights.

The both movements are currently dumb with both groups just wanting to be mad at the other and asking for too much.

My stance on what's stated above is that it is not correct. Feminism is not made to overshadow men, but to give women more equal rights and opportunities

It does not, because feminism does not hurt men rights. As a man, woman fighting to get equal rights as me and others does not bring down my own rights. I just want people to be treated equally, not the same, everyone has different needs and specifications they need met, but equally.

I think feminism is unneeded now and anti-feminism is the wrong way to go about things as well. Equality starts with stopping separation.

Men's rights are not inherently threatened by feminism, and feminisms goals of reaching gender equality are still not there. There are some forms of radical feminism that could be seen as threatening, but feminism as a whole is about gender equality and equal rights for women, which is still necessary because women are still not considered equal to men in many ways.

Everyone was created equally, therefore, everyone deserves the same rights.

I beleive that men and women shouldnt be treated worse or less than the other but i also beleive that men and women have different roles in society and are different.

I think that the idea anti-feminism and feminism in the modern day is a bit too much for the people to be fighting over with. I feel like the men and the women have equal rights at this point so any of these groups are just not satisfied with what they got and wants more, they just uses these big words as covers. I personally just do not see the point of these online argument or articles about these groups.

There should be no "anti-feminism", there sound be no "anti" anything, men and women should be treated equally with the same rights because they're all human.

The original purpose of the "Feminist" movement was to give equal rights to all. However, it's recently been going over board and now it's more of a "women are better then men" movement. The "Anti-Feminist" movement does promote men's rights. Men don't deserve to lose rights just because women want to gain equal rights. The "Anti-Feminist" movement ensures men's rights remain.

I don't care who is who but what I do care is if there is a middle ground then find it, we don't have time to fight among ourselves and cause another civil war

I believe that men have so much in this world that it is already hard enough to be a woman and anti-feminism isn't helping anything.

People shouldn't believe that anyone is better than anyone. Equality would mean equal rights, but there is no reason to believe that men are better than women, and vice-versa.

It shouldn’t be anti feminism but men’s right should be protected just as much as women’s are

It may, however as long as there is no hate being spread feminism and anti-feminism in my mind is a lawful practice and should be protected.

Feminism does not overshadow men's rights. With anti- feminism, women's rights would continue to be overlooked, just the same as they are right now.

I am all for men’s rights to be truly equal with women’s rights, and not be overshadowed by women’s rights.

Both genders have their pros and cons neither is perfect.

I think that both genders should be equal and men shouldn’t be scared of feminism over running them.

No I think that claim is appalling. Feminism REAL feminism is advocating for equal rights between men and women. It is meant to uplift both.

I somewhat agree with it, the feminist movement has gone too far and does not want equality. I believe everyone should have equal rights, men have feelings too.

I could care less if men's rights are overshadowed by feminism because they should do what they need to do to feel equel and at the end of the day our rights arent being taken

This is not true because all people, either a man or a women should have equal rights and opportunity. I think that these feminist and misogynist programs need to be abolished.

Personally, I think that Feminism is not overshadowing men´s rights. Men already have more rights and opportunities than women in many forms, so it isn´t possible to fully overshadow the man.

In my opinion, everyone is equal and should be treated that way.

I think it's stupid, no one's rights should be overshadowed, and everyone should have equal rights.

Feminism is fighting for equal rights, as we want all genders to be able to access and have the same rights as everyone else.

I agree we should be equal, not overpowering each other.

I don't think anti-feminism or feminism should be a thing. All men and women should have equal rights.

Unless there are laws in place to protect women there will always be a statistical disadvantage for them in society. Feminism also is meant to protect men from the harmful views of the patriarchy.

If men hadn't let feminism slowly die in the first place, then they wouldn't feel "violated or disgusted and angry" about how it has come so far now. Men and Women are equal and shouldn't have to prove to one another who is the bigger sex

Feminism is not anti-man. It is the belief that women are human beings and deserve to be treated with respect. Feminism does not attack men.

I think a lot of times people only look at the extremes and assume the worst. Feminism doesn't overshadow men's rights, people would realize this if they didn't actively seek out arguments and debates and actually stopped to look at the core values, beliefs, and a wider range of feminists.

Feminism is needed because to this day women still struggle against their obisitite sex that have dominated the earth for years.

I believe that the feminist movement has achieved its original goals. I believe they have overstepped and are attempting to have benefits without the work. men and women are equals in my eyes so I don't see a reason for the movement to continue. However, studies have shown a pay gap between men and women is due to women typically choosing low-paying high-profile jobs while men are more likely to do the opposite. For example, there are more women in teaching, personal health care, beauty, diet and nutrition, and customer service. While men have a majority in low-profile high-paying jobs such as agriculture, construction, finance, mechanics, and welding.

feminism has gone a bit too far at least from what I have learned and experienced, the equality of genders I agree with however when women refuse to cook or take care of children because it isn't their job, it has gone too far, women have to realize that a chid needs nurturing and caring for and it comes more naturally to women who have more emotions and intuition.

Men have always had rights, female right advocates are for equal rights not more rights than men

I do think that men can take a lot of heat due to the feminist movement. But I do not agree that men and females are equal yet, which they deserve to be. Truth is, if a female is still getting paid less than a man for doing the same job, changes still need to be made.

I believe that is true because feminism groups try to lower men's ability to do anything as humans used to do in the early years.

Feminism, the real feminism, was a movement that originally allowed women to be equal to men not above them, or below. The feminism we see today has been in my opinion toxic/distorted and taken to the point where now women are above men and becoming the very thing they were fighting against in the first place.

Men are simply afraid of full equality between the two genders that scientifically exist. Their fear fuels anger which leads to biased opinions based on simple fear of a non-patriarchal society.

A lot of times men's rights are overlooked by feminism claiming were all garbage and that we do nothing. Although I do believe in women's rights there is a limit and some of the stuff classified as "feminism" is just nasty.

Its stupid, helping women to gain more equality will come around and help men too.

I think that in modern day we've gotten more equal and lots of women are raised to become more entitled. I support women but feminism has become less of "let's be equal" and more of "women are better" which isn't equality at all.

As long as both genders are able to to given fair rights then I do not have an issue,

That’s a very silly stance. Feminsism is about equality between men and women, how would women being equal to men damage men’s rights? To the privlaged, equality can look like oppression.

Everyone should be treated equally we are all made the same.

Feminism hates men and says that women are more important than men, so anti-feminism is trying to make a balance between male and female rights. Therefore, anti-feminism is simply trying to keep feminism from continuing to go overboard.

It is called equal rights for a reason. Equal rights for both men and women. Not just one gender. I say this as a woman.

I support the claim because, with the rise of feminism, more feminists have taken measures that are outright hateful or harmful in pursuit of women's rights.

Men shouldn’t be under threat from feminism. Most of those who claim that they are often have other motives, aka perpetuating the patriarchy that hurts them just as much.

Anti-feminist ignore the historical abuse of women or are plain misogynist with the hope of harming women.

I think that anti-feminism is overshadowing the real goal of feminism and is a way to further put down women who just want to be viewed as more than objects and mothers.

I think that there is a ton of hate for straight white men when there shouldn't be. Feminism has kind of overshadowed their complaints and when they are heard they are seen as racist and misogynistic.

i dont know about anti feminism but i agree that sometimes they use feminism to their advantage. i still believe in giving women rights as much as men but sometimes they use that too much to their advantage

I think both male and females should be treated as equals, even though we aren't. Meaning having the same rights but also people seeing that Females could never amount to a Man. (physically)

Feminism nowadays is a complete joke. It is trying to put women higher than men, and completely rewrite our constitutional rights. True feminism was designed to just bring women up to the same standards we have for men and give them the same rights, that's it.

Feminism is just making sure women are equal to men, some people fall into the trap of supporting women more than men, which is in opposition to the entire movement, it is about both being equal.

That is so stupid. Feminism is an act to give rights to women, not take them away from men. Men have always had rights and advantages.
