re: 35 Practical Steps Men Can Take To Support Feminism

In all seriousness, what bothers me more than anything is the tone and the emphasis. Yes, men should help with the housework (and close to 50-50 if it's a dual income home), you need to be respectful toward women, you should try to provide emotional support and you should take the bonds of matrimony seriously. All of that is called being responsible and being a man.

What always annoys me however is people who want to advance one group over another, and in the case of the 77% stat, use misleading statistics to support their arguments. Someone posted a set of pie charts about male problems earlier. There's very little discussion of them, and also little discussion about the "academic gap" with men doing worse than women in school.

If we want a society of focusing on improving individuals rather than improving groups, those are conversations we need. But if you want to focus on just helping your little group, well then that's where "be a feminist" lists like these emerge. It's ridiculous.
