Feminism and why it's bad.

you know that authoritarianism is also ideological, right?

like there are PLENTY of people who love equality, fairness, sometimes multiculturalism etc and think that the best way to do that is to stifle freedom of speech and instigate it all through governmental doctrine. Then there are the ones who don't want government, but instead want to use peer pressure to ostracise The Dissenter. Hell, Marx warned people about those sorts in /his/ writings, for all the good it did once the tyrants started to cherry pick his works.

I'd say "authoritarian leftist" is the perfect descriptor for those people. They're not quite Stalinist but they are still in the upper left hand side of that sad little chart people use.

 

And? You're dodging all the points he's making.

 

Since it's such a common phrase nowadays, in what way is it pointless to discuss/argue things with Sander as opposed to other people?

 

I guess it's more fun watching it from the outside than actually beeing a part of it?

 

Feminism, as in equality for women, isn't bad. Neo-feminism is what we have today, and it has little to do with equality.

 

And this is a fact because you say so.

 

I encourage others to look into it and draw their own conclusions.

 

Most of the feminists I've met communicate their ideas awfully - as in, Pete Hines does a better job. Good for you for trying to get something (good) done, but fuck off for not only not doing it properly but also trying to put a blame on me for something I've never done in the first place.

But that's just my experience. There are some okay folks there too, people who want to understand you and want to be understood, and don't just ram their ideological mantra in your face - I just feel they're a minority.

 

It's because social justice is different from feminism. Feminism doesn't get you anywhere any more in the public space. There's always people looking for that thing they can throw out there and start debates with on a social moral high ground, swing their ego around. That doesn't say anything about the ideology itself, it happens with every set of ideas.

Equal pay etc. is ok IMO. When they start to talk about feminist mathematics and stuff like that, I get a bit confused.

 

Fixed.

 

Ah the world of sexism, where calling feminists nazi like creatures is seen as sexist for being sexist and calling other people sexist nuts for being sexist to sexist people is also sexist.

 

I'm tired of hearing about feminists, discussions about feminists or SJW's simply because I don't deal with them in my day-to-day life.
I don't dispute that bat-shit insane extremists and opportunists exist, but these days it seems like the discussion about them is disproportional to its actual importance to my life.

 

If you're a male, then ... when was it ever really important to your life?
