	We asked earlier what's the motivation of these pathological guys who are out there like bolstering up the feminists.
	Yeah, well, you know.
	They don't compete any other way.
	They don't compete.
	They figured out how to compete.
	They compete as allies, let's say.
	Yeah, wow.
	Sneaky.
	Yeah.
	And that's how everybody always describes them, too.
	When you, I mean, it's almost like a we I avoid doing it because I just it just almost feels gross to label them like that.
	But that's that is the way you think of male feminists.
	You think of them as sneaky.
	At the beginning of August 2016, a problematic left-wing comedian called Patton Oswald tweeted out, The male feminist ally turns out to be a creeper harasser is the family values politician turns out to be gay for millennials.
	And my goodness, did this tweet hit close to the mark.
	But Patton wasn't the first person to make the observation that male feminist allies are often sexual predators.
	In November 2015, radical feminist Laurie Penny had made the same observation when she tweeted, now seems like a good time to discuss the men who claim feminist credentials while being abusers in private.
	But people noticing this trend goes back even further.
	In 2012, a men's rights activism blog called The Anti-Feminist published an article called, Are All Male Feminists Sex Predators, Pedophiles, and Rapists? asking the male feminist question.
	But this is not the beginning, however.
	Back in 2004, a contributor to Urban Dictionary created an entry called MACTIVIST to describe a pseudo-activist who participates in marches and other activities so that he may have access to cute girls who believe in saving the planet.
	Professor Jordan Peathson's observations on the motivations of male feminists seems to corroborate this.
	Unable to attract women on the merits of their ability to fill the masculine gender role, instead these often low testosterone males use subterfuge to gain reproductive access to women.
	In and of itself, it's creepy, but not dangerous.
	Except male feminists seem to have a long and well-documented track record of dysfunctional, aggressive, and violent tendencies towards women.
	Female feminists have noticed this as well.
	There are many blog posts and articles written to warn other female feminists about the dangers of predatory male feminists in their midst, such as this 2015 blog by Elison Gray called, I'm Suspicious of Male Feminists and You Should Be Too, in which she states, If it isn't grossly apparent by now, my dear male feminists, I'm suspicious of you.
	Yeah, I know, but not me, not all men.
	Uh, whatever, shut up.
	And whether men are equally victimized by patriarchy is beside the point.
	What I am here to tell you is that if your version of feminism puts male needs first, then, Loveling, that's not feminism.
	Because, until the day more male feminists are primarily motivated by empathy rather than this self-centered, male-oriented, corrupt feminism that seems increasingly popular nowadays, I will continue to say that I'm suspicious of male feminists and you should be too.
	There are articles by women who are wary of men who call themselves feminists, such as this 2016 article in the Sydney Morning Herald called, Why I'm Wary of Men Who Call Themselves Feminists by a woman whose name I simply can't pronounce, who says, Gone are the days when the self-identifying male feminists were as rare as unicorns.
	Look at any online dating site, and amongst the gym and drugged tiger selfies, you'll see them in their thousands.
	The progressives, typically straight, white, cisgender, middle-class, and well-educated, are totally on board with feminism until it threatens or challenges them.
	And suddenly you're a bitch who's always picking a fight.
	While the more sinister and predatory types deliberately adopt seemingly progressive identity politics to lure in left-leaning women into romantic or sexual relationships before revealing their true colours, men like my exes sincerely believe that calling themselves feminists is enough, as though basic decency deserves a gold star.
	They talk the talk, but walking the walk, nah, that's too much effort.
	Whatever the motive, one thing is clear.
	For these men, it's feminism their way or the highway.
	And it's important to remember that, feminism does not exist to appease male sensitivities.
	To call yourself a feminist but only champion the cause if it fits into the narrow scope of your comfort zone is misogynistic in itself.
	You are still expecting women to perform on your terms.
	There are many women who flat out refuse to date another male feminist, such as Kate Iserlin, who penned a Guardian article called Why I Won't Date Another Male Feminist, in which she said, Men looking for feminist-sanctioned romance tend to fall in one of two categories.
	Those who use our attention as a sign of approval and seek out trophy feminists to clear their conscience of any inherent patriarchal wrongdoing, and outright predators who employ a bare-bones knowledge of feminist discourse to target any young woman whose politics so much as graze the notion of sex positivity.
	For every male feminist horror story I have heard, I have been told a dozen more by equally frustrated female friends.
	There was the chap who invited me to an event, not so much as a plus one, but as a testing ground for his ribald, sexist one-liners.
	After every remark, he would look at me, gauging my reaction to see exactly how much of his cheap and dirty humour he could unleash while still passing the feminist litmus test.
	Feminism has enlightened and empowered me, and now I'm using that power to put my foot down and say no more to the movement's male members.
	Belle Hooks is nobody's wingman.
	And while it may be correct to say hashtag not all male feminists, I would simply rather not any.
	Many female feminists have openly warned others about the dangers of the male feminist, such as Neanne Hugh, a staff writer for the Harvard Crimson, who penned an article titled Beware the Male Feminist, in which she refers to an earlier blog about the woke misogynist.
	This is the self-proclaimed feminist man who proudly attends the Women's March and reads Judith Butler and casually throws around terms like gender performativity, but also harasses, talks over, belittles and sexually assaults women.
	This is the man who prides himself on his progressive politics, who puts anti-Trump and support Orlando filters on his Facebook profile pictures, but then who calls Tommy Larin a useless bimbo and a whore on the Occupy Democrats Facebook page.
	After all, male allies often undermine the very movement they claim to support because they fail to acknowledge the role that they themselves play in perpetuating female subordination.
	Because, as she so simply states, feminism does not need men.
	Which is why that some men can in time become helpful, never integral, allies to women in their fight for liberation.
	But until then, beware the male feminist.
	As Guardian columnist Suzanne Moore observes, men on the left are sexist.
	In fact, according to feminist MP Jess Phillips, left-wing men are the worst sexists of all.
	When asked whether left-wing men were worse than the out-and-out sexists of the right, she said the left-wing men are the worst, the actual worst.
	Why should we believe Jess Phillips and all other feminist women who are complaining about feminist men?
	Because they're women, of course.
	And it's not just the radical feminist fringe sites like the Mary Sue who promote the importance of believing women either.
	Even more centrist, though left-wing papers like The Washington Post and The New York Times promote the feminist axiom that we should uncritically believe what women say at all times on the grounds that they own vaginas and that nobody with a vagina would ever lie.
	After all, false allegations of rape and sexual misconduct are, apparently, so rare that we don't even know how rare they are.
	But we're certain that around 8% are false.
	How do we know this?
	Well, we don't, really.
	Out of the 100,000 allegations of sexual assault made in 2013, and 15,000 of them being reported to the police, only 1,000 men were convicted of rape.
	This means that we must naturally believe every woman who makes an accusation, even if it results in the complete destruction of an innocent man's career, family, and freedom, because we just can't be sure of how many actual rapes are occurring, but god damn it!
	We're not going to let archaic patriarchal constructs like due process and presumption of innocence get in the way of our mob justice.
	And that's why, when we go through this list, we are going to be mindful of our feminist principles and remember that we must listen and believe women when they make an accusation.
	Any accusation, regardless of the evidence or the complete lack thereof.
	If a woman said it, it must be true.
	That is the feminist way our male feminists chose to follow, and by the goddess, that's how we're going to judge them.
	As a quick side note, I'm going to try and avoid the allegations surrounding Harvey Weinstein, Hollywood, and the political class.
	I will try to feature only male feminist activists outside of these spheres and cover them in a separate video.
	So let's begin.
