But feminism disrupts traditional hierarchies that benefited men. If we allow feminism to grow, then men would have to compete directly with women for jobs, money, and accomplishments. It hurts men to have to compete with women on merit alone

Edit: forgot the /s. I thought it was obvious

yeah but also no. feminism challenges institutions that oppress both men and women. it's not aimed exclusively at women being treated unfairly in the workplace and other competitive spaces. it's aimed at patriarchy which, while it does include unfair treatment of women in competitive spaces, also includes the subsystems of patriarchy which oppress men and boys and others which oppress women and girls.

edit: damn i didn't see the joke
