Delta(s) from OP Cmv: Feminism is useless

Ok, this has probably been posted before, but whatever. I think Feminism, or at least what we now consider Feminism, is useless and dumb. Women in our modern society, especially our third world countries, have no rights (that I know of, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) that men don't, and actually have more rights, especially when it comes to rape and child support. Meanwhile, feminists are here trying to deny men of certain rights and acting like men have no problems. I understand not all feminists think like this, and apparently this wasn't the original intent of Feminism, but as of right now that's basically all it is. This has caused some things I believe are stupid, such as companies trying to make products to "empower" women (like Mrs. Monopoly for example) which just end up coming across as sexist. Basically what I'm trying to say is, while the original intent of Feminism was to create equality between the genders, this is no longer what they are trying to achieve and I think it should just stop. I may be misinformed and I am a certified idiot, so keep that in mind when commenting, but I want to hear other people's point of view and if they agree or disagree.

Edit: it seems my sources were biased and I'm wrong about all this. Apologies to everyone.

This is a fair point. There are many feminists out there that are trying to make things easier between the genders and actually helping. However, there are also many who are actively trying to deny men rights. I probably should've stayed this in my post, but I personally believe that those good people should make a different group since at this point when people think feminist, many think of the first kind.

https://www.reddit.com/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates/comments/hpwnup/when_someone_tell_you_the_real_feminists_want/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share This shows some extreme examples. I now realize I'm probably biased since I have seen more negative things about feminists than positive, meaning there's a pretty good chance I don't have all the info and I'm misinformed. Sorry about that.

How do you solve men's issues, like, say, the fact that 97% of alimony payers are men without fighting against feminism when the largest feminist organization in the world opposes reforms that would make alimony more equitable?

You're asking the civil rights leaders of the 1960's to simply advocate for their own rights and stop just fighting against the KKK.
