But I think Mr. X's point is, why is that can men be self-deprecating, yet women, especially feminists, absolutely CANNOT. I don't think it's because men are self-loathing. I think we tend to have a much broader and mature "world-view" about ourselves.
A lot of feminists are simply stupid people. I really mean that. They are VERY proud of their degrees in women's studies and chairwomenships in committees, and commissions on women's affairs, and "studies" that they conduct, and conventions on commissions that have been formed and all the rest.
And, as such, they are very serious people, I guess. They realize deep down that they couldn't add two fractions with different denominators if their life depended on it, or really learn something other than writing their feelings with better spelling or contribute something real to society.
They don't have to know anything, though. Their victimhood and constant bitching gets them gains, just like it does in some bad marriages. Men feel sympathy for them, men want to help them and other women may feel solidarity with them.
