I tend to think any man who says he's anti-feminist is arguing for an excuse for bad behavior, however I don't like how feminism vilifies men. One can hardly blame a man for not liking something that portrays him as evil for being born. Can't we all just get along?
That, and the fact that feminists have a tendency to trivialise the unique problems that men face that women don't have as much of an issue with. An example, dating. Women often complain that the men they date are jerks, and I'm sure often times that's a legitimate complaint, but what about the many men, including myself, that have trouble even
finding a woman? No matter how unattractive you are, as a woman, you will find SOME man who will go out with you. In fact if you're unattractive you're more likely not to be used by selfish men even though your pool is shallower, basically you're in a similar boat to the typical man when it comes to dating. On the other hand, you can be a man with good hygiene and is average looking, but if you are nerdy, awkward, or unskilled when it comes to dealing with the opposite sex, you literally might die an unkissed virgin.
And of course, the fact men have a shorter life expectancy, and historically were forced to march off to war. And it's not like being 'the boss' is always a good thing, it's as much, if not more, of a burden than a privilege.
I wouldn't say I'm anti-feminist though, if you are going by the dictionary definition of a feminist that a feminist is simply a person who believes the sexes are of equal worth. Personally, I think that is not what feminist really means, but yeah obviously anyone who thinks the sexes are not equal is a mean person.
