Why are you being coy about which "demands" you object to? Unless you tell us what they are, they could easily mean things like "having to contribute to cooking, cleaning and child rearing" or "needing consent to help yourself to a woman's body".
I'm not sure if you've peered outside your little bubble lately, but more is demanded of women too. They're expected not only to hold down a full time job but an entire career too. And oh look, they're passed over for jobs, offered less money and forced to work twice as hard for recognition, all because of their gender.
So if you're going to use the rhetoric of a bitter man-child who is upset their grandfathers "I work full time" excuse doesn't work on people who are also working full time, you can at least pretend you're pulling your weight first.
Because your comment isn't just melodramatic, it's outright bullshit.
Guess what, those are actually part of the patriarchal stereotype of the ideal men (now rebranded as Alpha Men®)
Please circle the words "strength, good health and money" in the meme for us.
You made up your own interpretation, didn't tell any of us what it was and then encouraged people to reject feminism because of it -- exactly like my comment suggests.
When called on it, you just mashed some words together into a salad and pretended it was an actual answer. What is "strength" and how is feminism demanding it of you? What is "good health" and how is feminism demanding it of you?
Don't feel the need to answer, since you made it clear that your actual reasons can't be said out loud while "mask on".
