We literally have a president who wants to overturn Roe v Wade and people are acting like feminism has no place in society


Yeah thats probably the most ******ed view from Republicans/conservatives is abortion and birth control. Being denied access to them is a bad idea for reasons I shouldnt have to mention but Jesus Christ pick one or the other. If abortions are illegal, give everyone free birth control and say tough shit when they fuck it up and have to be pushed down stairs or have a friend help with a wire hanger.

Or outlaw birth control and give everyone the option of abortions. This is clearly the most ******ed choice but at least give some options besides pulling out and being pushed down stairs if you get knocked up with a kid you dont want and cannot financially provide for.

So youre saying feminists have a good point and a reason to exist


You need reading lessons.

What Im saying is conservatives run into clear problems that do not benefit society and these problems can be avoided when law makers use common sense and enact good policies.

oh yeah should just trust those people to change things, definitely dont need feminists to advocate for women


Y'all are both right.

Doesn't look so petty. It seems like you're choosing to focus on the arguably petty issues feminists bring up in addition to the big issues.

What's civil, disability, immigrant, worker's and environmental rights got to with gender?

Because they are petty.

If they were to run head on at the issue of treatment of women in Middle East nations then they'll get called Islamophobic. If they go after FGM then it's not respective of some African cultures and therefore raycis. These things take effort, make them a target, have consequences and are very difficult, which this wave of feminists are loathe to put in or do - easier to shit on everything else and expect the world to bow down to them.

Western feminism is looking to make an already cushy existence even more biased towards them while shitting on any other stance by crying how "oppressed" they are. It's the freedom from consequences to actions and from responsibility.

It's an ideology for spoilt brats that cry loudest, same shit that a baby does for attention - where the baby cannot change itself and needs the help of a carer though, these women are just pathetic but behaving like spoilt children. There are enough dumb men that go along with it though in the hopes they'll get laid.

If you want a form of feminism to be inspired by, look at what women are doing and trying to do in the Middle East where they risk their lives and compare that to the spoilt harpies that sulk because the air con isn't comfy for them.

I assume this kind of armchair feminist does it for lazy attention and money. They can make money with this nonsense, why bother trying to tackle an actual issue? Where is the money in that? Sounds like work. It doesn't spark enough outrage and therefore there is no money in it. I'm surprised the metoo movement kept up its traction to be honest.

They didn't, I just think that western feminists are utterly pathetic and take attention away from the efforts of women in other nations that have a far more difficult challenge. Rather than crying like children that the nasty man is sat with his legs open on the train, perhaps they could better focus their sulking on supporting education for women and young girls or rather than sulking that they can't get unlimited state paid abortions they may want to consider fighting against FGM.

They're going to be reluctant to do that though as it's outside their special little princess bubble where the priority is whether the performer in a flavour of the month piece of capeshit hurts their fee-fees or not.

Western feminists, at least this third wave are a fucking joke. That they shit on the work of the second wave is all the more embarrassing.

Seriously you have no idea what you're talking about. You don't give a damn about Women in the Middle East and only use it as a catch all to shit on Feminists. What do you want them to do drop whatever they're doing and go to the Middle East? This is the same BS people use when Blacks talk about issues they face. Other people in the World have it bad so you can't complain. Well, I hope to never hear any of you complain about anything in life again because you all live cushy lives.

It's totally real. I work in schools that are run mostly by women and it's the exact opposite. Even If I wear shorts and a short sleeve golf polo it's still super fucking hot in the rooms because they blast the heat.

So I'd believe that spaces dominated by men are too cold for most women to be comfortable.

Gay pride, black pride, etc. are statements of "We exist. You will not break us."

It isn't just "yeah i'm proud to be x"

White people, white men specifically, do not need that. We are the base line in Western society. We have caused the need for racial and gender minorities to have their pride movements. Our society oppresses and destroys them.

Stop talking. Feminism is evil. Females in the Western World have always had equality but, continually demand more and more. As a White Man I have the Courts stacked against me, I have the Law stacked against me, I have the World stacked against me. 1 word: Rape and my life is over, my career is over, everything I know can be erased in 1 go from a Female. Feminism seeks to emasculate Men, to remove what made us Men. Men have always been though and strong and warriors but, Feminists complain and now we're denutted.

With all that said if Feminism was legit they'd be focusing on impoverished areas in which Females are actually oppressed. yet they don't and that is proof of Female Supremacy.They have all the power in the World and yet choose to complain about petty things that are meaningless. This is a sad sick era we live in now. Feminism has ruined everything.


lmao take your meds friend


I like how the counter argument that is supposed to suggest third wave feminism really wants equality, not advantages to women, and how being accused of rape cannot screw someones career, social life and finances, is just insults like suggesting someone needs medication or that they were molested by a feminist.

Pretty much goes to show youre the type with wool over your eyes and want to appeal to women in hopes of sex in return.

You guys are delusional if you think that's what's going on here. If most women hate feminism, which they do, then it's pretty fair for men to hate it too. And people like you are a classic example of why that is. Rather than admitting that feminism has actual issues you resort to attacking critics of it by calling them sexist. Well stfu, I don't need your bigotry or your stupid opinion.

You know what else is interesting? How people are claiming that feminists are solving issues like the abortion / birth control cluster fuck, or issues like casting couch clubs, or issues like women not being taken seriously when men have the exact same qualifications. Yet no feminist here is pointing to actual numbers where that's happening today, they are just getting pissy about being critiqued.

I agree it does have issues. And sexism is equally bad on both sides. Right now they're acting less like compassionate people who give a damn about gender equality and more like PETA. If they're a laughingstock right now, that's their fault for being petty, hypocritical, bigoted and incredibly spiteful. Makes me not want to be associated.

I feel like they're going after the wrong thing there.
Every work place should have a common universal uniform for every employee to wear.

That would fix the complaining about AC BS in the work place.

They need a cause, they need to be activists, they need to fight against some kind of evil.

Because if it's column B then there really isn't a good case for taking feminism seriously.

While I can donate to domestic violence charities and volunteer my time to work with kids here, there's not a great deal I can do in Middle East nations, unless I went to them - which I cannot afford to do.

I can however talk about how those oh so put upon Western feminists could perhaps whine less about man-spreading and divert some of that attention and journalistic ass kissing they receive towards women and girls that are in danger and struggling - why ever would they do that when all those juicy column inches can be devoted to them instead?

If you're happy for non-Western nations and their people to be out of sight and out of mind unless they are useful to you then that's your issue. We're banging or heads against a brick wall with fuck-nuggets crying that it's raycis if you criticise FGM or that wanting to see a girl get an education would just be too radical and Islamophobic. It's difficult enough to get girls to speak up in class here, I can help with that. When there is a feminist biased media that pitiful wastes its influence that could help kids in other nations then yeah, Western feminists can go fuck themselves for the good they do.

Your only proving my point about sexism being bad on both sides further. Belittling others problems just because they're the opposite gender makes you no better.

Are you suggesting that we women are such pure innocent creatures that not a single one of us isn't capable of being abusive, cruel, a sexual predator, a psycho, a stalker, violent, or manipulative?

Must be nice to live in your own self righteous little world.

I've known plenty of girls of all sorts.

Gender equality isn't supposed to be about men against women. Its supposed to be about being compassionate and helpful to your fellow human beings.

But I guess thats above hypocrites who use human rights movements as an excuse to exercise their bigotry.

Because their lives are so boring they need to play social activist and attempt to relive the glory days of when feminism was actually necessary.

There's this very odd romanticism of past struggles mixed with "college essay syndrome" where they've been instilled the instincts to dig for new and unique problems and extensively discuss them.

Activist groups exist to complain. That's why.
When there's nothing to complain about, invent something, or face extinction via irrelevance. It's a simple success tax, in that accomplishing your goal means you're no longer needed as much.
