Yeah, she is pretty funny. Feminism has turned into a cult for people who want to blame their problems on someone else, lead by radical feminist bitches who tend to be just women who hate men. It's crazy

Stop oppressing me!!!

Are you sure it's not a parody? It looks like one to me judging by the first few seconds I just couldn't bear the truth

Sure, but I'm pretty sure a lot of people get their impression of what feminism is from the few crazy outliers that make headlines and the people from the "reaction" who state what the other side is more than they state their opinion or respond to actual feminists. If you have to invent straw puppets to make arguments, it's not an argument. This is just like extremest politics, where you hear more arguments that the other side is supposedly making than ones they actually are.

Listening to the whole video, she does claim she's seen people go nuts but the only real argument she actually makes is: "We don't live in a rape culture." One vague argument, which I generally agree with, but it's hollow in terms of information and arguments.

The conservatives later crushed their own bill with a legal trick. There are still people fighting for actual equality, and I think they outnumber those who don't. People get caught up in thinking that the opposition is much different than they imagine because they get all their information from like-minded people instead of the real opposition.

With the recession and women working more, they're assumed to be the more absent parent. The divorce court seems very busy and makes all kinds of errors. In this case, the mother probably was the one who should have gotten custody but didn't because she worked more. This is the opposite of what normally happens.

It's a problem but I don't think it's feminism. But do get a prenuptial agreement!

What do you do when the -ism comes up in your school curriculum, workplace settlement, or diverse court? What if the -ism is structured into and taking over everyday life?

Feminism is an -ism that we can't ignore. It will cause more and more problems if it is not opposed. They are indoctrinating young women (mostly), and spreading propaganda through mainstream media.

The bizarre dislike for 'feminism' and the equally bizarre 'radical feminism' boogeymen are all the same side of the coin, much like the extreme spectrum of any often-discussed social issue recently. You are just as polarized, and your discussions are just as polarized.

But what's worse is you're being diverted from the actual issue--wealth inequality, namely the concentration of wealth by a very small portion of the population (i.e., less than 1%). The media is a for-profit enterprise and the influence of the powerful is so pervasive it's impossible to fully ignore.

The 'radical feminists' have as much power and influence on society as whatever the anti-feminists (you bunch) have: none. The people with power don't care about social issues--they only care about increasing their wealth by whatever means necessary. Unless you're one of them (none of us are), you're a piece in their very long game.

Agreed. The real -ism's to fight are neo-liberalism and uncontrolled/unconditional capitalism.

/me closes thread and moves on with life.

Excellent response, good job.

For a brief overview, you can listen/watch 'Requiem for the American Dream'. Unless you think Noam Chomsky is a loon?

edit: Well since you think Chomsky is not credible, there is absolutely no point in discussing anything with you. Sorry.

Absolutely.

I'm a liberal. I'm a feminist. I'm an atheist. However, these descriptions--although true--are incredibly shallow. They only serve as a basis on which similar ideas are grouped; nuance is required for any actual discussion.
