Women don't comment on a man's body in a sexual way? The number of girls squealing over theo james's body says otherwise. Both do it equally often.

This. Both DO DO it equally as often, yet it's frowned upon in normal society.
 
I don't care if you use console/ "cheat" codes in single player. Hell if it's a game like Skyrim I had to use the console because of all of the bugs you can get stuck in (And I have a nice amount of hours on it...)

I don't think it's fair online however.
 
Ryu, Pac-Man, and Roy should've never been in Smash.

pretty much neither should wii fit trainer.. ugliest character ever



also you dont really have to feel sorry about not getting along with your parents. neither chose each other and if you have a bad relationship.. that's it

when it gets to that point those people arent feminists. you can say you are something but it doesnt mean you actually are

I don't understand how those ridiculous sjw feminists can call themselves feminists.

I quote, one of them said to me
"You deserve to get raped if you disagree with me" then threatened to doxx me.
I am a woman and this is a 'feminist' telling me I deserve to be raped.

It used to be equal rights and everything. Now it's a misandrist joke. I feel ashamed to be a feminist sometimes
 
I have actually never encountered a feminist that had attitudes like the ones you guys are describing. Are these real life people you're mentioning or just lonely hermits taking out their anger on the internet?

I feel like the people I met in university that were self-described feminists were more into things like promoting education of women in other countries. Or trying to make the campus safer for women at night. Not sure I've ever actually met one of these infamous man-hating, hairy arm-pitted anarchists.

Eh, well I do have hairy armpits and other body parts but that's because I don't like it shaved, not that I have a certain opinion. Also I'm not smelly or anything.

Yeah I don't really think it's a big deal what someone wants to do with their body, some things just unfortunately get turned into weird political statements.
 
if feminism is about equal rights for everyone in this 21st century world, shouldnt it be called equalism?

I understand the feminists of the 19th and 20th century ffeminists, as voting, work rights, and equal pay are deserved by everyone regardless of gender.

Mpdern day feminism's arguements can all be debunked using science or statistics. its not needed in the US (unless you live with a p.o.s. bf/husband). If feminism turned more of their attention to the middle east's awful treatment of women or something as such, i could get behind it.

BTW, equalism ftw

yeah, actually feminism is needed in the USA and everywhere around the world. btw, maybe you should have just said "first world countries" instead of sounding so americentric. "Feminism" is the ideology. youre complaining about some of the people involved in it. you want feminism to focus more on middle eastern issues, but you wont get involved yourself? maybe you should do something about that.

feminism is supposed to include everyone. it does not exclude any country. you're talking about the radicals and extremists who call themselves feminists but really arent.

so what if someone wants to talk about first-world countries? what if you want to change whats around you first and then move onto something bigger? you obviously dont know much about the middle east if you think that we can go in there and take physical action immediately. unless youre talking about being the voice for them, in that case it already happens. the media doesnt like to report on that, though.

and anyway, "equalism" (or whatever you call it) is way too general. feminism is based on gender equality. however, equality can also include race, class, etc. so i dont think that would work

Only some men are misogynistic people. doesn't mean all men want to hold women back.

The wage gap argument, for example, is only a reality because of the AVERAGE career choices. Men tend to choose more high paying jobs(i.e engineering, architecture, and programming) and women tend to choose more low paying jobs(i.e. child care, education, librarian assistant). Its not sexism. It is just career choices amongst average men and women.(sources: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/christina-hoff-sommers/wage-gap_b_2073804.html

i never said i wouldnt get involved. sharia law is a terrible thing for women. i would get rid of it if i was world leader.

wouldn't equalism be better in the long run? more people would support your plight and more societal issues would be solved.

I had a feminist substitute art teacher in high school who constantly spoke of her idea of feminism, picked on all the boys in class, and sent me into the hall once for disagreeing with her on how she was bringing her personal agenda into a school setting where it wasn't appropriate for the class topic nor was it promoting positive discussion. She proceeded to swear at me and tell me I wasn't a welcome member of the female demographic, so, yeah, they exist in real life unfortunately, and it sucks.

the whole anti-feminist stigma stems from some idea of a raging lunatic who experienced one bad man is forever cursed with the heeby jeebees, which of course makes me sad because there are so many women out there that can benefit from feminism, especially those in lower-class countries.

But ya, teachers should not talk politics. One of my teachers never shut up about how she thought transgender women and men were just confused people who needed therapy. Very much inappropriate to say to students.

i never said any of this. been lectured on this topic multiple times before so that you have to resort to this?

i never said i wouldnt get involved. sharia law is a terrible thing for women. i would get rid of it if i was world leader.

wouldn't equalism be better in the long run? more people would support your plight and more societal issues would be solved.
by saying "if i became world leader" honestly shows me that you arent involved at all unless youre really clueless
giving it a different name wouldnt change anything. thats my point. youre talking about separate things.

Studies talking about women making less money shows the pay gap between women and men with the same job and the same experience. Not different jobs because that wouldn't make any sense.

Yeah, I do agree, a lot of great ideals and causes are ruined by the few vocal, uneducated radicals that don't truly understand what they're fighting for, or use it to further their own personal agenda instead of society as a whole. It's really unfortunate, and to me, when people say, "Oh, these radfems are just on tumblr or just online, they don't ACTUALLY exist in real day to day life-" Yes, they do. They get off their computers and they go to jobs just like the rest of us, and in situations like school where young people need positive influences and education, personal political agenda has no business being there, that needs to be a place of unbiased learning. I had so many bad teachers in school and college that always threw in their two-cents, and we're not there to be walls to bounce their personal opinions off of, we need unbiased education and the ability to make our own decisions, not just blindly follow others.

i used the wage gap as an example. alot of the issues have already been solved. of course, there are exceptions to every rule, but for the most part its solved.

and the only way to get involved in getting rid of sharia law is by protesting against it or getting the UN involved. Even then, what can we do against it anyways? its not like protests here will do much, and if you go there and do something you risk arrest. if i could do something, i would. but as a broke teenager, i cant do much.

also, mods, if we can move the feminist discussion to another thread so it doesnt mess with this thread, that would be awesome

You help out women in the Middle East? How so?
