No. No such thing as a LTR or marriage with a feminist exists.
A feminist wouldn't give you the time of day in the first place.
I was in a serious relationship with a feminist. Never again. I was young and naive and didn't realize how insane these types are. She was very good at hiding all her craziness and hateful views early in the relationship, but once they started coming out, things became horrible. She was a hardcore manhater, ALWAYS played the victim card even if she had to do mental backflips to come up with some way she (or some other female) was a victim, and she ended up being awful to me pretty much all the time. If I ever tried talking to her about it, she just thought I was being an Ahole for being "mean" to her and making her feel bad, then she used that as justification to be even worse to me later on. It was a never-ending cycle. NEVER AGAIN.
A few years later I dated another girl who was a feminist but did not disclose that info to me until about six months into our relationship. She too started then twisting all different kinds of events and stories to make women out to be the victim. I broke up with her within a month. We're still fb friends, and some of the stuff she posts now confirms that I did the smart thing as it appears gender/sex discrimination and big bad "Society" is about all she ever thinks about. She can't even go for a hike or play a game with friends without making some comment about women/gender.
These types will never appreciate men, will blame men for every problem in their life and in the world, and will then wonder why they're still single and childless at age 35. Then their ovaries will start drying up, men will stop looking at them, and they'll be old, bitter, and miserable by early 40s. It's possible there are exceptions, but I wouldn't count on it.
Run away.
you just sound like a terrible person
My husband is a vocal male feminist. I don't share his passion, but I respect his cause.
It sounds like you're quite the catch. I'm sure any sane person would yield to your great views.
I'm living behind the times in Mayberry, so what's an LTR?

Feminism: the advocacy of women's rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men.
Terrible, dangerous stuff, feminism. It draws you in with "statistics" regarding things like the disproportionate number of male CEOs and elected representatives. Then, before you know it, your balls have been removed with rusty blade and your armpit hair is has been dyed purple!
As a husband to a wife, a father to daughters and a brother to sisters, I can honestly say that I think women are generally better than men for the most part. I really think they are the superior gender. But there is a very dangerous strain of "feminism" that isn't really about the equality of genders, but more about the hatred of men. I think it is kind of weird because I don't necessarily see men doing the same in return. Sure, you have men who take advantage of women, but you have that in reverse as well. There have always been women who are more than happy to exploit men's pathetic desire for sex and so forth...
Anyway, the abortion thing is really the crazy indicator in my book. I understand supporting the right to a safe abortion, but there are a lot of women online who seem to praise abortion as a good, upstanding, ethical procedure, which is just insane to me. I see it more like war, the end may be justified, but the act itself is just a horrible tragedy. But many feminists would string me up for feeling that way. I think it is odd. These feminists want us to praise abortion and if we do not, we hate women and want to "control" their bodies.
Thanks for mansplaining this to me.

Girl #2 said Beauty and the Beast was a horrible movie because it taught kids that women are property since the father in the movie "sold his daughter into slavery." She also thought that Society didn't want girls to play sports at all, so she acted as if she was making a political statement if we played PIG on a basketball court. She also pathologized stereotypical male behavior. She was about 10,000X better of a person than Girl #1 in my post.
I've been married to a feminist for 21 years. I don't understand the problem.
I like much of what you wrote. But there is and never will be a "safe abortion." Not only is direct abortion purposely homicidal, but it is a risk factor in subsequent pregnancies for a rash of pre-term birth defects including cerebral palsy. And for women it is a risk factor in subsequent pregnancies for ectopic pregnancy (tubal pregnancy) - a very scary thought. There are other risks, but don't be deceived by a semantic absurdity such as "safe abortion."

How is the number of male CEOs disproportionate? The purpose of a CEO is not to represent the gender demographics of the USA. If qualified women were available, then they would be hired. Some women just can't accept the possibility that they just aren't good enough to be CEO.

And he is not antiwomen at all. If anything, he is PROwomen. He hires lots of women for his power positions and provides women with lots of opportunities. Don't bring your dishonesty here.

Women don't even WANT to be CEO. There is no bias. It's like the Gender Studies graduates complaining there aren't enough women in STEM fields. Kill me with irony!

4.2% of CEO positions at Fortune 500 companies are held by women. And you're asking how that's disproportionate?
Look, I don't think sexism in the workplace is all that rampant and I don't think the gender pay gap is nearly as wide as advertised, but if you think that that number is entirely due to men being more qualified, then I'd advise you to purchase an economy-sized clue.
