2. False accusations: The alarmingly large number of false accusations filed against men who have not been convicted, all in the name feminism support
3. Competition: Now that men and women are competing to show that they can earn the same, it is time for women to start raising families and caring for their children.

Feminism should not be a movement that ridicules other genders.
