"We are acutely aware of our vulnerability. Aware that if he wanted to? That guy in the Home Depot parking lot could overpower us and do whatever he wants."

I think all of these at human problems: though degree may be greater for many women.

The broken part is that we're teaching young women to play the victim: or worse experience their lives as victims.

When feminism is about making women feel disempowered, it's broken.

Why do some people have no problem speaking for everyone in their gender? This is yet another vehicle by which stereotypes and sexism persist.

It's about safety and security. Yeah, less than 1% of men are rapists and women are being taught to look at all men as potential rapists. But a similarly small amount of muslims are terrorists, and you'd be a fool not to look at all of them as potential terrorists. Sadly the world around us has changed, and the happy-go lucky world of the 1950s is long gone. We have to be constantly vigilant against the threats that surround us at home and abroad. Fear and vigilance are the new normal.

Both sides of the current War of the Sexes are annoying shitheads with too much time on their hands and just wanting drama.

The main thing that broke it, imo, is failure to internalize the fact that "equal" does not mean "same."

Why exactly would that be when rape is WAY down from where it was 20 years ago?

Reading through the linked article, the author cites a number of different incidents which she has found offensive. I wouldn't argue with her about the bulk of these. However, her central point is that these are constant occurrences, and this affects women broadly. These behaviors, of course, nearly all involve unwanted sexual attention.

I note from her photograph that she is attractive. I think it's beyond doubt that attractive women get more of this sort of attention than less attractive ones. Yet, somehow I doubt, in spite of her claim of constant victimization, that she would ever trade places with someone who is unattractive. I also think feminists are loathe to admit that some women have certain problems more than others because they want to pitch everything as a broad women's issue.

I said this in another thread, but this has a lot to do with the fact that men tend to be a) horny, and b) voyeuristic. I suspect that this is less a cultural phenomenon than the feminists think it is. The reality is that they're at war with something that will likely not ever change. I don't think feminists have come to grips with male sexuality. They think all this stuff is about power and control and has nothing to do with sex. But those behaviors like what the OP's article described, they're all about sex and probably nothing but.

Feminists have trained women to believe that when some guy makes a rude sexual comment, they are degrading you as a human being when in fact that random guy doesn't even know the woman he is being rude to. He probably just wants to **** her. Which is why they shouldn't take it personally. Being raped or actually assaulted, of course, is an entirely different matter. To be clear, I don't think men should make rude comments either. It's just a matter of proportion and keeping things in perspective.

I also think that while the author talks a lot about women's tendency to "de-escalate" as she calls it, meaning they just blow off rude or offensive comments and behavior, she might be overlooking the fact that some women just don't care as much as she does. My wife, who is in her 50's, sometimes gets comments like these. I've directly heard some of them and gotten angry myself. But it doesn't bother her. She tells me that the day she gets no more comments will be depressing because she'll feel old and unattractive.

I also agree with the OP that portraying your entire gender as being constant, daily victims is not a very good message.

I don't really know whom you mean to imply is teaching women to play the victim. All I heard is why she thinks women's issues don't get addressed because male culture forces women to eat them for their own safety. Women are victims of the fact that men victimize women and won't see it. Seems like most of the posts are about not seeing that too.

I happen to agree. I also see that both women and men are forced to play that game. The worst among us shit on everybody generally.

Professors in the humanities at X-Liberal Arts College.

People create the world they live in.

Professors teach them how.


Imagine a white guy saying this:
We are acutely aware of our vulnerability. Aware that if he wanted to? That black guy in the Home Depot parking lot could overpower us and do whatever he wants.

Fearing each other is a mindset that creates hate.

Question are men victimized when they want sex and their wife won't give it? If so, I have been victimized my entire marriage. Can I get some sympathy over here?

tl;dr.

The main thing that brought feminism to it's knees (pun intended) to be right on the same respectable level of the "Black Lives Matter" group is thanks to none other than Anita Sarkeesian. What better way to exploit women than to tell them they are being oppressed by video games and attempt to raise funds from stupid people? You go girl!

Oh, and don't mind those videos of her showing up to an exploitation seminar on how to get people to fund campaigns, and definitely don't show that part where you don't even like playing videogames. That would go completely against what you have been saying to those poor confused women that they think they are oppressed by... VIDEO GAMES!

That's why feminism vs gamersgate is the funniest shitstorm on Earth. Feminist extremists vs basement dwellers who don't give a shit. It's one of the first times the politically correct shaming game that the left has been playing has hit a brick wall, because the neckbeards don't have jobs to lose for being politically incorrect so they don't have to apologize since they have nothing to lose.

Your link is to a parody site. Not something to rely on for factual information.

Actually, it is VERY well documented. Try clicking on some of those things called "links". By normal site standards, those are referred to as "references".

Go ahead. Give them a click ol' chap.

I already gave it lots of clicks. That's why I know it's a parody site. Unless they are serious that homosexuality is a mental disease, not to mention repeated use of racial epithets, all of which appears to be some kind of parody.

Here is the first sentence of their entry on feminism:

https://encyclopediadramatica.se/Feminism

It is a natural outgrowth of a woman's deep dissatisfaction with everything, which arrives upon menarche (or earlier due to childhood obesity). There is no such thing as a "girl feminist" or "happy feminist." Which is why "feminist" is synonymous with "total bitch."

I'm hoping for your sake you're not going to say that you actually believe what you read there.

Dude, encyclopedia dramatica is a joke site. I think it's often hilarious, but it's so incredibly over the top. How did you not notice this?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encyclopedia_Dramatica

It's this thing called 'satire'. I'm not surprised you haven't heard of it. Regardless, if you can start understanding what satire is, you would understand that everything they are referring to is indeed, documented truth in the form of satire.

I know it's hard for some of you to grasp, hence why I said, feel free to click one of the many documented links, videos, and screenshots of her Twatter statements.

This is hilarious. Encyclopedia Dramatica is starizing Wikipedia by making a version of it that is entirely not objective and filled with obvious bullshit.

It's kind of awesome that you didn't get the joke, because that kind of makes you the joke.

Outside of obvious joking references, please feel free to point out any "obvious bullshit".

Have you never watched the Daily Show? Or Colbert Report? It's the same thing dumbass, it's called satire. I'm sorry your Yankee brain is too small to grasp that concept.

Thankfully, your stupidity-herd seems to consists of nothing but you alone in most cases. It's funny how you think there is an army of people behind you or something It's cute, actually :awe:
