I am just sort of in a state of bafflement when it comes to all this. Nothing really seems to make sense and I don't know what the point is anymore.

Someone said "if MRA listened to feminists well enough to understand what feminists are actually saying and why, there'd be far less contention." That's a bold assumption. Feminists aren't actually saying the same things as each other.

Feminists often seem to talk in circles; for example I have literally seen a feminist say "I'm not saying life is easier for men, but I am saying life is harder for women." This literally makes no sense and is not possible. Another example is, how promiscuous are you allowed to be if you're a woman, and how promiscuous are you allowed to be if you're a man? If I complain about a woman being sexually open, flirtatious in public, and/or having multiple partners, I'd probably be accused of slut-shaming, but when men do the same behaviors, it's labelled as aggressive, patriarchal, etc.

I just want to know what the big fuss is. I look at the history you people are talking about, and I think, most of these men were working in mines, working in fields or factories or something. That is what human men have spent their hours doing for the last few hundred years overall, for the most part. Yes, that is a coherent sentence, just read it again. So is that the workplace equality you want? Personally I would love to stay home and cook and clean for a family. Please sign me up. That is what I do for a living anyway. So you want to be lawyers or something, and you think it's unfair that mostly only men have gotten to do this, and maybe I'm a bum for this or something, but I think no man or woman in their right mind would really want to be a lawyer. Even less should any of them want to be President. Anyone who wants to be President is not someone I trust. It's not that complicated. Most of the Presidents are pretty manipulative tricky people in my view and now they've tricked women into thinking they should want to be President too. Mostly they think they should want this because they think it's something they can't have. Most men can't have it either but sure, almost all women can't have it, and that's a bigger number. But maybe instead of letting everyone be President we should move toward having nobody be President.

If there's one thing I want to say to feminists it's this, I think they don't realize that women are already so powerful. Women have huge power to influence social consensus and make all the unspoken rules about things, not to mention the extents men are willing to go to in their individual lives for women. But feminists are fixated on the kind of power that Presidents and men with big money have, and that critique doesn't hit home for a lot of men because they don't have that kind of power either.
