First off, glad to see you finally on the New Guild Dark Wind :)In regards to Feminism. I agree that there are still some good feminist out there. But the amount of male doninancy sort of thinking is outright rampant in some areas. Also men have to face many cultural stigmas and discrimination too. For example, do you know that a common fear of women in ECE is letting men change an infants diaper out of fear of said child being sexually abused?As for Religion. No one here is saying that atheists have a right to force their belief on others either. We're simply saying religious people also shouldn't have said right. While also noting our own personal disliking of Religion.

You said still some good feminists out there. I think the vantage point may be effecting the overall status of feminism in the modern day. Obviously there are a bunch of extreme perspectives that do more blaming and shaming than actually identifying systemic issues and addressing them -- that's the way of America-- but I'd challenge that this bunch is likely a minority. The fact is feminists working to create change can be loud when necessary, as they should be to make issues known, yet are also likely doing more work behind the scenes pushing proposals and trying to change laws. Groups like Pussy Riot aren't as common here because our oppressive issues are subtle, though pervasive. It still requires a level of theatrics to push awareness though. The case you used about the diaper changing sounds a lot like a minority of feminists who've, honestly, probably had horrible experiences leading to this fear. I wouldn't say their experiences are invalid, but yes, they're generalizing we're all aware. 

Religion can be positively fulfilling or not. Nothing to do with faith, more about exploration of self and our relationship to the world. Much scripture is focused to meeting an entity separate from ourselves rather than the inward looks a great many do push across faiths. I am speaking of course about Christianity here, where it's constantly said not to judge, to look into yourself for truth, to find the Kingdom of Heaven within yourself, and yet some people still push this idea of being best damned apostle. Yeah, I'd mark that as an annoyance too. I'm a Universalist who has deep respect for Judeo-Christianity, deep, deep respect from my studies of it, and I find that competitive thing highly irritating. The relationship is between self and world. It's grounding. If you're feeling superior to others and separated from the rest, there may well be something wrong.
