Today, at breakfast, my sister labelled me a "feminist." My whole family now refuses to talk to me for more than 30 seconds, and acts as though I have an incurable, highly contagious disease. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my sister outed me to my very conservative parents as retaliation for not taking her to get McDonald’s at 2 a.m. last night. My mom gave me an ultimatum, either "stop the lesbian shit" or get the fuck out of her house. My sister smirked through the whole thing. FML
Today, after years of miscarriages and desperately wanting a child, I lost my temper and screamed at my sister after she announced she'd had an abortion last month. Now no one in the family will speak to me, since I referred to her adopted kids as, "Not really her children." FML
Today, my sister is a murderer but my family admitted they prefer her over me. I had to move to a new city to get away from the media and drama, I have no friends, and the only family who calls me is my sister. FML
Today, my sister is furious with me and said i will never see my nieces again. Last weekend, while I babysat for her, I taught them the meaning of veganism and animal rights, even showing them a few videos about the meat and dairy industry, and how the animals are kept and treated. Now she won’t speak to me. FML
Today, my entire family is giving me the cold shoulder, including my parents, for not going to my sister's wedding. No one seems to care her new husband bullied me so badly in high school that I still need medication for my anxiety 15 years after graduating. FML
Today, my wife, who recently had cancer, made an offhand comment that my 30-year-old sister took offense to. Instead of saying something, she went and called our parents. My dad then called and yelled at me for 5 minutes about it. FML
Today, I was uninvited from every family event henceforth, because I finally had it and told my sister that I can’t stand to be around her horribly misbehaved kids. They have screaming meltdown tantrums, throw and break things, start fights and steal. How am I the bad guy? FML
Today, my eldest daughter has 'officially' removed herself from our family and will no longer communicate with any of us. Apparently it's my fault that her younger sister is having a baby before her, and she can't be part of a family that 'treats her so unfairly'. FML
Today, my sister-in-law is refusing to let me or my children be a part of her kids' lives. She’s even going as far as trying to make my brother stop speaking to us as well. Why? Simply because I'm an atheist. FML
Today, I told my sister I felt like her friends didn't like me, since they were ignoring my questions, opinions, etc., in the bridesmaids' chat, but were all over each other's messages. She kicked me from her bridal party, saying her friends wouldn't want me at the bridal shower and bachelorette party. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

What prompted her to call you that?

You should frame a giant copy of the 19th amendment, just to freak them out.

I'm a feminist, and I totally agree that equality goes both ways. That's why I support men's liberation (which I suppose makes me a masculist as well? Oh well, I just use "egalitarian" as an umbrella term.) I think it's important for people to call out pseudo-feminists who support women's superiority, not equality. THOSE are the feminazis, not all of us. :3 I personally think opening doors and paying for meals is just a matter of politeness, not gender. That's why I hold doors open for guys as well as girls. And it's always hilarious when older men get confused looks on their face and wait for me to walk through first so that they can open the door themselves. And don't even get me started on double standard in cases of abuse, violence, divorce, or rape. That sh*t's messed up. >:(

#140 You may be the first "happy" feminist i have ever met. All the other ones i have worked with or hung out with seem to have a general slant of hatefulness throughout their life. Everything they look at is some sort of hate action or hate speech. And god forbid if i say i am going home to eat the supper my wife cooked. You would think we are selling slaves on the front of our doorstep. I solute you (little joke from earlier posting) I salute you and your positive outlook in life. May your endeavors be easy and your burdens throughout life will forever be light.

97- true, but I goes both ways. Men are in a bad mood, there in a bad mood. Girls are in a bad mood, there on their period! It seems like everyone thinks that just cause a girl is in a bad mood she's on het period. Sometimes they are just plain in a bad mood.

Depends. Are you the crazy wannachopoffeveryman'spenis kind of feminist?

97, honestly a man shouldn't hit his wife or a woman shouldn't hit her husband. But most men are bigger and stronger than women, and they should know that women can't defend themselves against someone stronger. I'm not saying it's okay for women to hit their husband either.

Feminists are responsible for making the Zumba hooker sound like the victim of a crime, not the male customers whom she illegally taped and essentially aimed to blackmail.

"Illegally taped"

Excellent, your family treats equal rights like a disease. Hope you aren't gay, OP. No way that would go down well.
