It's always about Control w/yous.I am wondering if your so far behind & are from the middle east,because our guys are cool w/this & haven't been making any wave at all lately...so...u don't count~
How has feminism affected society?
Which society? It’s effects vary from cohort to cohort,proffesion to proffesion,state to state,etc.Take into consideration that feminists do have a political bias in most regions.Now to answer your question, I dont think feminists have contributed much to help women in the west.Take this year for instance.They got the grid girls off their jobs, attacked a prominent women’s rights magazine (Cosmopolitan) and demanded it be removed from retail stores,got rid of miss america’s swimsuit competition and what not.The only other region where you’d see such kind if policing would be the middle east.Strange, is it not?If anything , at this moment, even Trump has done more for women than feminists, by passing the SESTA/FASTA bill and the PWEA bill.
How has feminism affected marriage?
Feminism has significantly improved the quality of marriage.My wife and I have a healthy relationship between equals. We both have equal say in things unless one is better informed regarding something than the other.We share our responsibilities and discuss each other's roles in case there's an imbalance creeping in somewhere. Neither of us takes for granted the role of the other in the household and relationship.Here's the kicker, I'm an Indian male who's unemployed, yet my wife had no qualms about taking up sole responsibility of earning until I find a job. There have been no quarrels or shaming owing to me not earning. This would be unheard of in a patriarchal society.I'm also comforted by knowledge of my wife's skills in supporting herself and our future family, should something happen to me.My wife has supported me when I've fallen weak and restrained me if I've let my temper get the better of me.Would this have been possible without feminism? I don't think so.
How has feminism affected college?
Well I have a lot of post-secondary education. In fact, on and off for almost twenty years I've been going to school for various things. When I was 20, it was music. That was in 97. People assumed I was a pop singer and called me “Mariah carey” behind my back. Not as a compliment. They also complained when my group and I won the school’s performance competition, which was judged by outside judges.When I was 34 or so, I mentioned to the guy who was going to replace my countertops that I was not currently singing and thinking of going back to school. He said “what do you want to be if not a singer?” I said “I don't know. Maybe I wanna be prime minister.” He laughed and looked at me and said “you can't be prime minister! Your boobs are too big!”So I started telling people I wanted to be prime minister (even though I don't really want that) just to test their level of sexism.When I first attended UBC I had just turned 35. I talked to a first year student who asked what I wanted to be, and when I said “prime minister,” the response was “cool.” As if that was totally normal and possible.I have never experienced sexism at all at UBC. I love attending classes there. Nobody looks at me funny, nobody yells harassing things. tests and papers are named only with student number, so the profs cannot unconsciously grade men and women differently.
How has feminism been affected by social media?
Social media have been a huge advance in women's access to information, ability to contact each other, to call for organizing on the ground, and to do so in safety. There is profound sexism and much punishment and threats on the web, too, when women state their opinions, and some threatens become real and physical because they involve stalking. This is partly because we can't experience empathy with each other unless we are present with all five senses. That is both the danger and the limitation of the web. Pressing send is not activism. And we have to remember that the web is the medium, not the message.

How do you think feminism has affected and influenced male rights?
In terms of actual rights, probably not much. I don’t say that to criticise, only that men generally were not lacking a whole lot of rights to begin with.In terms of societal change, I think feminism is overwhelmingly a positive thing for men, with no downsides I can think of. Major benefits are:Women are expected to go out to work. This relieves pressure on men to earn all the money for a family. It’s thought that debt and financial problems are a major cause of suicide among men, and I’d hope that in years to come, as more and more women take financial responsibility for themselves and their family*, those suicide rates will fall.Sexual liberation. It used to be the case that if you wanted to have sex with a woman, you were probably going to have to marry her. That is not the case any more, and think most men prefer it that way.Contraception, an extension of point no. 2, basically makes it easier to have sex for recreational purposes, most men can get on board with that.Abortion. Lots of men don’t want children (or perhaps not at that time, or with a given person), it’s not just women who can benefit from their right to abort a pregnancy.In allowing women responsibility, we relieve pressure from men, and pretty much all moves to reduce the taboos around sex will end up benefiting men.*That sounds like I’m criticising women for it, I’m not, I’m aware that historically many men were against women working.
How does feminism affect women and how does it affect society?
Feminism had increased women's happiness it has given them equality and made them feel a part of society as opposed to be a spectator. Women have been given the vote, opportunies for education, advancement in the business world, and a choice of whether they want to stay home and raise children, or pursue a career. It is all about being given choices rather than being labeled and told what to do. Everyone wants autonomy in their lives and women should not be treated like possesions. This is what is empowering about feminism. Feminists believe in equality not supremacy though some feel that is what they want and this is not true. Feminism was responsible for lobbying the government to start dealing with domestic abuse and in the 1980's laws were passed to protect spouses and children. Modern feminists are working towards helping women in other countries deal with inequality, alleviate child poverty, and deal with ecological issues such as global warming. Of course if you get antifemists they will tell you that none of these issues exist and feminist make them all up to pad their agenda. I would recommend you looking up some feminist sites on the net and making your own evaluation of whether or not you feel their is a need to strive for change. Check of femina.com. Just an aside with this. I have been an active feminist for close to thirty years. I have a husband who I treat as an equal and vice versa we have a strong and happy marriage, I also have raised three children who are happy, nonjudgemental, spiritual, and productive so please do let the propaganda turn you away from discovering for yourself what it is all about then make a informed choice.
As a man, how has feminism changed you over time?
Personally its caused me issues. I feel that women should be treated as equals, should be subject to selective service, and such. When I tell women that, it doesnt go over well. A person shoulf be judged based on their actions not their gender or race, but in reality many feminists don't want equality, but to be treated as superiors. In my work,experiance ive worked in situations where there was,true sexism. Also have worked were women were treated better than men. I was personally told by a female manager that she will write me for no reason because I was a man. I reported her to HR and got promptly told where to shove my complaint. In romantic relationships, I has a disfuntion, I am unable to directly voice issues or opinions. Because I was told from,many adults that I wasn't allowed to have opinions because I was a male.
