New F-rating for Movies

[Aronthaer]

Again, maybe she's realized some things about her male friends. I cut a lot of my friends out of my life as a teenager because I was coming to terms with who I was and what I wanted and I realized a lot of my friends were downright racists and homophobes and unwilling to change their behaviour even if it hurt someone close to them. Either way, your friend chose to change her behaviour. Feminism didn't make her do anything.

I guess I can sorta agree with that. again, the predominant problem I have here is that she chose to abandon some of her oldest friends instead of confronting them about the things she had a problem with. One of my friends thinks that he must have done something to make her hate him but I can't recall anything he's ever done to her. He's beating himself up over this whole thing and blaming himself when I'm not even certain that it's him that's causing her to act this way. but yes, feminism can't MAKE you do anything. that's correct. however, out of control, it can PROMOTE misandrist behavior and perpetuate prejudice.

Then you and your friends have to confront her about it. If you've already done that and still have no answers then there's nothing you can really do but move on. If I remember right you're still young so either party has a lot of time to change anyways.

Anything can promote prejudice and horrible behaviour but again the movement as a whole isn't to blame for that. People have a choice of whether to be hateful or whether to be accepting. The violent man-hating side of feminism consists of radfems and terfs which most feminists reject as a whole in the first place.

That's probably the best option. I've tried before but I'm somewhat of a non-confrontational person so I never really got the discussion going. but I think this is probably something me and her need to work out. And you're right, it could have very little or nothing to do with feminism. I guess I've just been using feminism as a platform to vent about this issue because honestly, it hurts a lot to see this happen. but yeah, I should probably more mature in handling this and talk to her about it. I can't just use feminism as an excuse.

I hope you can get some answers one way or another so you can move on. You're willing to listen and reflect (based on your comments here), which is an excellent start regardless of what happens next.

Ya, the only way you'll get answers is if you confront it head-on. Leaving it to manifest can get nasty, I learnt that the hard way. Even if you're not a confrontational person, you're not yourself when everything builds up. I hope you two talk about it and, if it doesn't work out, I hope you're able to move on and snip her out.

I shared this link earlier but it's buried in the thread. This article explains what the F rating is, how it came about, and how it is used (hint : it's really not a big deal on IMBD at all, just a search tag) :
