fem·i·nism ˈfeməˌnizəm/Submit noun the advocacy of women's rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men. synonyms: the women's movement, the feminist movement, women's liberation, female emancipation, women's rights; informalwomen's lib "a longtime advocate of feminism" This is the definition of feminism. Therefore, it's technically an egalitarian movement. As such, the people that so many tend to associate with feminism aren't actually feminists.

@Keyguyperson

Are you aware that a dictionary doesn't stop a word from being corrupted? Words change, like the word gay was originally not a name of homosexuals, but it changed. If you're naive to think that feminism is incorruptible then I think a debate is meaningless

Your Political Ideology

I don't believe in egalitarianism, hierarchy is natural because almost every mammal species does it and it is quite clear that humans had a social order long before the dawn of civilization.

@The Patriarch

Thats because other animals and our ancestors lacked the brainpower to think beyond doing anything else besides clubbing each other over the head to get what we want, and in that scenario it would most likely be food. In our modern society however we, for the most part, are able to come up with alternatives, like sharing.

I also think democracy is overrated and is idealistic and almost always leads to chaos and fascism.

@The Patriarch

I think that stretches the truth a bit. We have to take into other facotrs like the Economy, the Culture, the History, the Era, and other facotrs within the Society itself. So i think what we should instead be looking at is "What is the best form of Democracy?". Is it One-Party styled? Two-Party styled? Three-Party styled? Multi-Party styled? Constitutional? Republican? Marxist?

I am pro-government and would rather have a diverse authoritarian or monarchy style government.

@The Patriarch

What do you mean by "Diverse Authoritarian"?

For me the real reason our politics suck is because we allow emotional bitches rule our political debates and have emotional tantrums when things don't go their way. I hate liberals and view them as the new crusaders because of their idiotic self righteousness, but I also don't like ultra conservatives because of their ridiculous political strategies.

@The Patriarch

Well i can agree with you on this at least. I think our whole Government system needs to be scrapped and built from the bottom up

As for my views on religion, I'm not religious but I love religion and view it as one of the biggest influences on our creative culture. I'm a Catholic and proud of it

@The Patriarch

So, if you don't mind me asking, are you a Atheist? And i thought i should point out the obvious but you cant be not Religious and a Catholic at the same time. I assume your talking about the tenets and all but I thought i may as well mention it

Click to see political compass I believe in the infinite benefits of free trade, as trade by definition makes both parties better off.

@UltikanaRe

"The infinite benefits of free trade". Wow. I dont think I've ever heard such a Capitalistic statement. Please, go ahead and list all of these infinite benefits... ...or at least a few thousand as i wouldn't want you to be typing for eternity

I also really hate punks and modern counter culture. Those drug addicts and idiots have greatly contributed to the disinterest of politics among young people.

@The Patriarch

From the perspective of a young, lower-middle class, regional Australian I think the whole fuckery that is our government and the current state of our politics is what is driving kids away from politics. Then again most of my generation seems to be a bunch of morons in general so I don't know

@Vortex

I consider myself Catholic for identity purposes, but I do believe in God and the churches teachings, I just don't go to mass

I have to disagree, Anita Sarkessian is living proof about how feminists will lie to promote their ideology.

@The Patriarch

Anita Sarkeesian is just in over her head, not a liar. It would be much better for everyone involved if the face of feminism in videogames where an actual gamer.

The pay gap is a lie and has been debunked tons of times. As a working man I can tell you that women have it easier at work than men, they get better hours and do less work and still get paid just as much as a man and sometimes even more.

@The Patriarch

The pay gap is not a lie, it is a real problem, but the problem is that girls are not encouraged to aim as high as boys. This means, that in a misguided attempt to fix the pay gap, the wages of women workers is raised, which fixes the problem, but in the least fair way possible.

Women greatly contribute to domestic violence and yet the face of domestic violence is a straight male.

@The Patriarch

Domestic abuse, not domestic violence. Two different things, and because of inherent physiological differences, women abusers are less likely to use violence.

@Jozarin

Women still greatly contribute to both domestic violence and abuse. Stop spreading the lies about only men can be violent or abusive, it's freaking stupid. Women get less sentencing for crimes compared to men and feminists never complain about that, if you ever try to criticize feminism you're bullied into believing it like a religion. It impossible to have a clean debate with a feminist without them blowing their tops The pay gap is bullshit because women CHOOSE to not work the harder and more dirty jobs that men which normally pays more. Again whenever there is a try for proper equality feminists bitch about the unfairness of women doing extra work. If you honestly think that Anita Sarkessian has any good points then I also suspect that you believe that video games encourage violence. Anita lied and is a con artist.

Checking Santa's Privilege

Official government surveys showed that women commit a great amount of domestic abuse, also there are official surveys that show that women specifically mothers hold the majority in abuse against children, but of course feminists never talk about that because it undermines their propaganda of making women look superior to men. I care about men's rights otherwise I would be a white knight believing everything that the feminist movement told me. I fully support father's rights and have plenty of proof of how terrible the custody courts are and how divorce and child support can literally take away all of a man's money and not be allowed to see his kids.

@The Patriarch

Look guy, all you're doing is inaccurately defining the majority of feminism and listing off problems in society that feminists seek to rectify. Just because their movement focuses on women doesn't mean that they believe women should be superior or that we should all ignore men's problems completely. Look here, it has plenty of links to sources. Also here. And here. And here too.

@Robeatics

But the fact is you can't seem to handle the idea of critics of feminism, that's why people view it like a religion

The Gifted: A Fast Paced Superpower RP

Adam looked at Dean with a worried expression on his face when he heard the hero's disturbed words and he went over to the hero. "Are you okay Dean?" he asked the metahuman. Things were getting crazy and Adam wondered if this mission was going to ever find a form of completion. He needed help and his father's words entered his mind, John Morrison might be his best chance at finding the enemies of America and taking down the metahuman terrorists.

Young Justice 2022: League of Their Own

Bolt wandered around the headquarters with wide eyes, marveling at the size of the place. "My God, this place is big for a base. I wonder if they have any video games or pinball. Damn this place is so cool!" he said to himself as he walked through the building. He had recently been introduced to the team by Static Shock who had a thing with lightning powers just like Nikolai had as well. But Nikolai was more than just a lightning powered superhero, he was a hero with a sense of humor, many called him the Lightning Bolt with a big mouth and he liked the nickname. "I wonder if I could suck out all of the base's electricity, probably not but it would be cool if I could" he again said to himself. Only then heard the alarms going off and he guessed that it was time for a mission, this excited him and he quickened his pace as he searched for the rest of the team. He eventually came across some of the other members of the Young Justice team and he waved at them. "Hi, the name's Bolt and I was invited here by Static and I hope to be an asset to the team. It seems like there's a mission, right?" he said to them with indicating the alarms.

Well I'm an MRA so my main focus is destroying the lies that feminists spout regularly and to show how white knighting is just a way of having your wife/girlfriend exploit you. God I can't stand white knights

@The Patriarch

So you, as an MRA, don't actually care about men's rights? Isn't that just anti-feminism?

I have to disagree, Anita Sarkessian is living proof about how feminists will lie to promote their ideology. The UK is especially bad since they actually complained about women getting equal sentencing to men when it comes to crime. The pay gap is a lie and has been debunked tons of times. As a working man I can tell you that women have it easier at work than men, they get better hours and do less work and still get paid just as much as a man and sometimes even more. Women greatly contribute to domestic violence and yet the face of domestic violence is a straight male. Feminism is not about equality, it's about female entitlement and special treatment. Women are just as entitled if not more entitled than men

@The Patriarch

Where are your non-personal sources on any of what you just said?

I used to be an MRA, but then I noticed what the other MRAs (like you) were doing. I then stopped identifying with MRAism. Feminists never spout lies, intentionally. They look at reasonably accurate models and extrapolate to a point where the models fall apart, and take those results at face value - Marxism was never meant to be applied to an area where one side of the class war cannot exist without the other.

It has devalued feminism for one.

@Jozarin

Well it has helped me with exposing them for what they are which is a hate movement

@The Patriarch

But they aren't. There are certainly some problems, and these are amplified by the huge echo chamber of tumblr. There are two main problematic subsections of feminism, which are made worse, echo chambers and all that, the PC SJWs and the RadFems. They are both on opposite sides of every issue, except "Rape is Bad". I have spent far too much time trying to understand the opinions of both, but mostly to my despair. SJWs Believe that women should all be sluts, because the patriarchy expects women to be chaste Decent Feminists Believe that people should be able to choose their lifestyle.RadFems Believe that women should all be celebate lesbians, because the patriarchy expects women to have sex with men SJWs Believe that gender nonbinary folks™ are the best thing ever, and is a good form of rebellion against the patriarchy Decent Feminists Believe that transgender people should be treated decently, and receive any medical help necessary RadFems Believe that MtF transsexuals are rapists and FtM transsexuals are trying to get male privilege SJWs Believe that porn is good as long as it includes, without fetishisation, fat people, conventionally unattractive people, genderqueer people, disabled people, etc. etc. Decent Feminists Believe that people should be able to choose their lifestyle. RadFems Believe that porn is men possessing women SJWs Believe that sex work is good, as long as it is run by women, and it includes, without fetishisation, etc. etc. Decent Feminists Believe that people should be able to choose their lifestyle. RadFems Believe that sex work is rape That was originally a table, which is why it is so messy.
