Since I know a lot of feminists out there will call me stupid, close-minded and ignorant for this, and even people who aren’t and support the movement, I’m adding some legit leading feminists quotes. Btw, I’m a woman, anti-feminism ftw.
"Feminism is built on believing women’s accounts of sexual use and abuse by men."Catharine MacKinnon
"All sex, even consensual sex between a married couple, is an act of violence perpetrated against a woman."Catherine MacKinnon
"All men are rapists and that’s all they are" Marilyn French Author, "The Women’s Room" (quoted again in People Magazine) "All men are rapists and that’s all they are …" –Feminist Marilyn French, People Magazine (Percent of reported rape or near-rape incidents = .07% [The FBI's Uniform Crime Report lists for the year 1996])
"[Rape] is nothing more or less than a conscious process of intimidation by which ALL MEN KEEP ALL WOMEN IN A STATE OF FEAR" [emphasis added] — Susan Brownmiller (Against Our Will p. 6)
"Marriage as an institution developed from rape as a practice. Rape, originally defined as abduction, became marriage by capture. Marriage meant the taking was to extend in time, to be not only use of but possession of, or ownership." — Andrea Dworkin.
"Heterosexual intercourse is the pure, formalized expression of contempt for women’s bodies." — Andrea Dworkin
"Romance is rape embellished with meaningful looks." Andrea Dworkin in the Philadelphia Inquirer, May 21, 1995..
"Under patriarchy, no woman is safe to live her life, or to love, or to mother children. Under patriarchy, every woman is a victim, past, present, and future. Under patriarchy, every woman’s daughter is a victim, past, present, and future. Under patriarchy, every woman’s son is her potential betrayer and also the inevitable rapist or exploiter of another woman," Andrea Dworkin, Liberty, p.58..
"One can know everything and still be unable to accept the fact that sex and murder are fused in the male consciousness, so that the one without the imminent possibly of the other is unthinkable and impossible." Andrea Dworkin, Letters from a War Zone, p. 21..
"In every century, there are a handful of writers who help the human race to evolve. Andrea is one of them."–Gloria Steinem
"And if the professional rapist is to be separated from the average dominant heterosexual [male], it may be mainly a quantitative difference." — Susan Griffin "Rape: The All-American Crime"
(p. 86)
"When a woman reaches orgasm with a man she is only collaborating with the patriarchal system, eroticizing her own oppression…" — Sheila Jeffrys
"I claim that rape exists any time sexual intercourse occurs when it has not been initiated by the woman, out of her own genuine affection and desire." — Robin Morgan, "Theory and Practice: Pornography and Rape" in "Going to Far," 1974.
"Who cares how men feel or what they do or whether they suffer? They have had over 2000 years to dominate and made a complete hash of it. Now it is our turn. My only comment to men is, if you don’t like it, bad luck – and if you get in my way I’ll run you down." — Letter to the Editor: "Women’s Turn to Dominate" — Signed: Liberated Women, Boronia — Herald-Sun, Melbourne, Australia – 9 February 1996
"It is not only men convicted of rape who believe that the only thing they did that was different from what men do all the time is get caught."
"If sexuality is central to women’s definition and forced sex is central to sexuality, rape is indigenous, not exceptional, to women’s social condition."
"Under law, rape is a sex crime that is not regarded as a crime when it looks like sex. The law, speaking generally, defines rape as intercourse with force or coercion and without consent., Like sexuality under male supremacy, this definition assumes the sadomasochistic definition of sex: intercourse with force or coercion can be or become consensual."
"Compare victims’ reports of rape with women’s reports of sex. They look a lot alike….[T]he major distinction between intercourse (normal) and rape (abnormal) is that the normal happens so often that one cannot get anyone to see anything wrong with it." Catherine MacKinnon, quoted in Christina Hoff Sommers, "Hard-Line Feminists Guilty of Ms.-Representation," Wall Street Journal, November 7, 1991.
"The institution of sexual intercourse is anti-feminist" — Ti-Grace Atkinson "Amazon Odyssey" (p. 86)
"In a patriarchal society all heterosexual intercourse is rape because women, as a group, are not strong enough to give meaningful consent." Catherine MacKinnon in Professing Feminism: Cautionary
You should also look into sex-positive feminism, which is the response to the feminist ideology you’ve typed out here.
Try searching out Carol Queen, Nina Hartley, Tristan Taormino, Pat Califia, Rachel Kramer Bussel, Susie Bright, Betty Dodson, Diana Cage, and Annie Sprinkle.
I’m a feminist and I love men, sex, and porn- and I hate patriarchy and sexism. Feminism FTW!

Those are all quotes from radical feminists. Mainstream feminists (and I am one) only want equal rights for men and women. That is all.

Feminists don’t hate men. They just want women to be treated the same as men and have all the same freedoms as men. It’s just militantly extremist lesbian feminists that tend to hate men, and I don’t blame you for not understanding them, because I don’t understand them either. I’m a gay feminist, and I love men all the time.

All these quotes are from very radical feminists, who lead a movement called the ‘separationilst feminist’ movement.
. It advocates women exploring sexy in a fun and safe way with someone they like.
This is NOT a real representation of todays feminists. Its like saying that the extreme religious fanatics that I see on TV are a real representation of the Christen Church, or that Pairs Hilton is a real representation of blonds.
They are just a very select group in a huge subculture.
There are lots of other kinds of Feminism, one of my favourites is ‘lipstick feminism’ which embraces sex, particularly with sexy men
"go buy that sexy underwear" they say…."take the day off for his birthday so you can role-play nurse and patients"…."its your body..do what feels good!"
But ill try and explain this radical form of feminism you have found. It stems from a time where women where very oppressed and the only way they could be heard was by being extreme. This radical view was what first brought attention to women’s rights and how they needed to be improved.
Now things are much better and its not needed anymore, so you no longer see it as often as you see the more mainstream forms of feminism.
At its most basic, feminism advocates equality for both genders and an understanding society.
This can take many forms. some i agree with, others i dont. Just find one that suits you, and dont judge all feminists by one group.

I am certainly NOT a feminist, but they don’t hate sex or men. Maybe you should come up with how you view feminism. The quotes above seem ridiculous and why did you bother doing all that research to come up with mean quotes….where are your good ones? You need to look at both sides of what people think feminism is. Then you need to look at what YOU think it is.
Clearly, you think it’s about woman being better than men. But this isn’t true. I think you need to take a step back a re-educate yourself on what feminism really does stand for.

Partially because you’re looking at the wrong feminists. A lot of modern feminists don’t like Catherine MacKinnon for her anti-porn stance.
It’s important to remember that there are different beliefs when it comes to feminism. At its very core, feminism is simply being pro woman. That doesn’t mean being anti man though. I’m a feminist and I love men and sex. I try to have as much of it as I can. I’m not going to call you close minded or ignorant I’m just going to encourage you to look at different beliefs within feminism because not all feminists think alike, nor do they have to.
