I know a man who warns his adolescent son not to date feminists. Should I say anything?
If so, what should I tell him?
shareSounds like he’s giving him good advice.

Tell him I second the motion of not dating feminists.
shareNah just buy him a beer.
shareI have my thoughts on feminists. But in general, don't tell others how to raise their children, or to not listen to their parents.
shareThanks to you and everyone else who has replied here. I totally agree you don't tell kids their parents' advice is wrong. I guess I could try to be non-judgemental when talking to the dad. I could say alternative advice he might want to give his son is when meeting a feminist, pay attention to her attitudes and behaviour. For example, if she remains calm and rational when discussing ideas that's okay but if she expresses anger and resentment, steer clear! The same can be said about meeting anyone.
shareHe's a smart man. Feminism is a cancer to society — a destructive force at the root of nearly every problem plaguing our institutions and culture today. It hides behind the facade of social justice — all while poisoning both men and women. Its toxic reach infects everything — from the woke indoctrination in academia, to the overbearing HR departments in workplaces, to the rot in government itself.
shareWhat do you think feminism is and what don't you like about it?
shareThere are two types of feminism, and I reject them both. The first is contemporary feminism — fourth-wave or "woke" feminism. This radical version is rooted in misandry, a thinly veiled hatred of men, and its goals are dominance and supremacy, not equality. Frankly, there’s little to say about this type of feminism that hasn’t already been criticized to death. I suspect even you, as a woman, likely see its absurdity and reject it outright.
The second type is the original wave, particularly second-wave feminism. This is the version that advocates for equality between men and women. I reject this feminism as well. At one time, I considered myself a feminist because the idea of equality seemed self-evident. Of course, men and women should be equal — or so I thought. But after taking a sharp cultural turn to the far right, I’ve reconsidered many of my liberal views, including those about gender.
I no longer believe men and women are equal, nor should they be. Society functioned far better under patriarchy; we were healthier, more stable, and more in tune with nature's order. And I wouldn’t just roll back women’s rights from the past 50 years — I’d go back 150 years, to a time when family and children were the primary focus for women.
The crux of the problem, I believe, lies in women's education. Everywhere feminism and education for women are introduced, birth rates plummet below replacement levels. If this trend continues, it will lead to societal collapse and eventual extinction. To reverse this, we need to return to a societal structure where women prioritize family and children over careers and individual ambitions. That is the only sustainable path forward.
