We seriously need to make these "feminists" get a new name. I'm a feminist according to my sociology book. Internet feminists are not feminists, they believe women are superior, not equal or complimentary, to men.
[spoiler]besides, men are portrayed in video games as hulking piles of muscle with sculpted-titanium jaws, we don't get rustled up about it[/spoiler]

[quote]they believe women are superior, not equal or complimentary, to men.[/quote]Well, if you receive them that way, then that's all you'll ever really see. You're right to point out that there's a lot of misconceptions about what feminism is. A lot of its detractors try to paint a stereotype of some angry, ugly bra-burning man-hater of a woman who sues helpless men who are just minding their own business. A lot of that is in the eye of the beholder, and if that's all you're looking for, that's all you'll see. Unfortunately, a lot of feminism by its very nature challenges the way we think about the world we live in. You have to look at the REALLY big picture in order to understand it, and it's easy to reject an ideology when you detect it as being too contrary to your own.

[quote]Main Entry: fem·i·nism Pronunciation: \ˈfe-mə-ˌni-zəm\ Function: noun Date: 1895 1 : the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes 2[/quote] I'm saying that this movement is not feminism. It needs it's own name. I'm totally in favor of the above definition. If you took issue with my [quote]complimentary to[/quote] Statement, then I really can't help you more than pointing you towards the nearest anatomy and physiology book.

I didn't take issue with that statement.

I call these types of "Feminists" Social Justice Warriors. People that are lost causes and only see what they want to see and fail to see the reality of what issues they claim to know to "fix".

I call these types of posts Social Justice Warriors because they only care about enforcing THIER agenda.

Hi there. It looks like you've mistaken the recognition of the existence of long-lasting and pervasive systems of gendered violence and poverty with a belief in the 'superiority' of those subjected to such systems. Would you like help with that?
