Well, straight out of my ban let's do something that will probably get censored by the ninjas.
We all know about black lives matter, we all know about Anita Satkeesian, and we all know about 3rd wave movements in general. Let me state my fundamental issues with all of the above.
1. All of the above are exclusionary. BLM hates white people, radical feminists hate men, etc. These movements oppose racism and sexism with racism and sexism.
2. Privilege based on skin color or genitals. These radical groups too often ignore the primary source of privilege, money. The claim that will smith and Hillary Clinton are less privileged than a poor white man because of their skin and sex defies logic.
3. Their lack of belief in agency.
Both movements believe that everything in their lives is the consequence of white supremacy and patriarchy. Women choosing to be housewives don't actually choose, black criminals aren't responsible for their choices. This axiom defies human agency and is simply unsound.
4. The fact that they suck at their jobs.
This is where I stir the pot. There are problems with the American police force, and there are problems for women in the gaming industry. However, chanting death to cops and making easily debunked YouTube videos only makes you look like thugs and con artists. To quote Boudrillard, "Excellence changes the system." Fredrick Douglas did not change America with Ebonics and violent speech. He changed it with astounding rhetorical oration. Susan B. Anthony did not spend 200,000 dollars on 6 poorly researched videos, she made a difference. The problems with society cannot be fixed by thugs and con men, and BLM/3rd wave feminism have far too many of both.
Anyways, that's just my opinion. Discuss if you would like.

America is all for equal opportunity. These people, however, wish for equal outcome. This is not right: it is fair to give everyone the means to succeed but their skill and mindset determines outcome. They are wishing for equal outcome to create a shortcut in life so they can do -blam!- all and get whatever they want. My grandma's feminism: yes My generations feminism:no
