The Not-so-beautiful Side of Women and Feminists

     Feminists (and many women) always keep saying that men are oppressing women and that they need liberation. Ah really? Let's see how the Oxford Dictionary define the word "oppress":

mass noun
  • prolonged cruel or unjust treatment or exercise of authority:a region shattered by oppression and killing
  • the state of being subject to oppressive treatment:a response to collective poverty and oppression
  • mental pressure or distress:Beatrice's mood had initially been alarm and a sense of oppression
Let's see some facts, shall we?
I have read some articles from Angry Harry:

He has given some good points to consider indeed.

-Around 8 times more money are being spent on women's health than on men's health, in all parts of the worlds.
-Women who verbally, emotionally or even physically abuse their husbands are treated as mental patients, while men who do the same are imprisoned and condemned.
-Girls are now doing better at school, when they performed worse several decades ago, they claimed that this is because of "male oppression". Now, they don't say anything about helping the boys.
-Research has consistently found that males are treated more harshly for the same crimes than females, but no one cares.
-Televisions and video games cause more detrimental effects on the academic performance of boys than on girls, but no one cares.
-Examinations actually favor females. Despite the fact that overall females are not more intelligent, they are MUCH better at answering moderately difficult questions within a short time.
-The vast majority of victims of most crimes are men, but it is always the female victims that get most of the attention, and more importantly the resources.
-Mothers are more likely than fathers to get custody, despite the fact that mothers overall are more likely to abuse their children.
(Fathers are more prone to sexually abuse their children, but mothers completely outnumber fathers when it comes to other types of abuse)

These things are REALLY fair, aren't they?
And feminists say that they are seeking equality?
Are women the innocent angels they portray themselves to be?
They ARE lying.

Conclusion
     Back to our definition of "oppression", after reading Angry Harry, I begin to think that men, not women, are the one being oppressed, indeed. Yet, feminists would keep shouting that women are being oppressed by men and the majority of women pretend that nothing is wrong. Then women claim that they are the fairer sex.
     Hm, someone asked me why I dislike feminists even on a personal level. This is why.
