-Woman poses nude? Don't *** shame.
-Woman has no interest in having sex with you/someone you know? Don't call her a prude.
-Woman wears a low cut blouse? Don't drool like an imbecile and give unwanted compliments or follow her home.
-Woman shows an interest in geek culture? Don't interrogate them about ***no one actually cares about to prove she's not as geeky as you.
All of this is spot on; women should be able to do whatever they want, that's not a foreign thought to most people. The delivery of these facts is where feminism turns into a joke. When you have a woman front and center saying "shut up, and listen to me, and check your privilege you cis-het white male piece of ***!" That's when your message turns from advocacy for gender equality to a mass of anger which internet trolls find funny.

Let me deconstruct this

Quote:
Woman poses nude? Don't *** shame.

*** shaming is something women do to other women, men like ***.

Quote:
Woman has no interest in having sex with you/someone you know? Don't call her a prude.

This is thought control. The rejected party has a right to think whatever the *** they want to think, good or bad.

Quote:
Woman wears a low cut blouse? Don't drool like an imbecile and give unwanted compliments or follow her home.

This one is just plainly wrong. Men will notice an attractive women in a revealing outfit. This is basic biology. Compliments are a form of positive reinforcement, they aren't negative. Furthermore men can't read minds, we don't know if a compliment is wanted or unwanted until after it's given.

Now I'm going to really break that last one down. What she's really saying is "I don't unattractive men noticing me". An attractive male noticing her and giving her a compliment is a desired result, she would blush and flirt back. An unattractive male doing the same action would be called creepy and get socially rejected. Same female, same situation, same action, the out difference is the attractiveness of the male.

Again this is basic biology, humans are programmed to respond favorably to members of the opposite sex who are attractive / fertile. This response is centered in the subconscious (oh gee that again) and is a way of promotion our species to continue itself by making lots of babies. Seeing how most of you insist on remaining ignorant on the source of this behavior, its simply not a reasonable expectation that the average human would be able to effectively suppress and manipulate this biological response.

Nor for the Civil Rights movement. MLK Jr. pushed the non-aggressive envelope as best he could until he died, but progress was slow going. After he died, the people that took up the mantle after him were far less non-aggressive and ***started getting done at a much faster rate.

My second message was at Mr. "I can only be with docile women" Savael.

Admittedly pointless, because he can't deal with people not bowing before his superiority complex and blocked me a few weeks ago.

Reason I assumed this purely because Quinn posed nude for Suicide Girls and I didn't think a feminist would be ok with being sexualized in that way.
The whole thing is about women begin able to do things they want without being judged or disadvantaged. By anyone.

Y'know, within reason.

-Woman poses nude? Don't *** shame.
-Woman has no interest in having sex with you/someone you know? Don't call her a prude.
-Woman wears a low cut blouse? Don't drool like an imbecile and give unwanted compliments or follow her home.
-Woman shows an interest in geek culture? Don't interrogate them about ***no one actually cares about to prove she's not as geeky as you.
All comes back to what I said earlier. "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all".
This cuts both ways, for both sides. Someone on the right sees a transgendered person going into the restroom they identify as? Keep your mouth shut and mind your own business. So long as no laws are being broken then who gives a ***who pisses or shits where? A toilet's a toilet and they all lead to the same sewer eventually anyway, and we should all be aware there are already laws against voyeurism and child pornography on the books that pre-existed North Carolina's infamous HB2 law.

No if you don't have something nice to say ... say it on the internet !

I was a second generation feminist. I was never angry. I had a LOT of fun.

Like burning bras* and draft cards in the same blazing trash can. Partying and getting laid afterwards.

I tend to be more angry today but not about feminist stuff. Today's anti feminists are total misogynists, even calling for the repeal of the 19th amendment. I do not blame today's feminists for their anger.

*I kept a spare in my purse.
I don't really think those people in question are so much anti-feminist as they are simply misogynists. It's the "all men are rapists" stuff that strikes me as funny. Let's accuse an entire gender of a serious crime and expect to be taken seriously. I still say that such rhetoric is a slap in the face to anyone who has actually been raped. The word rape is becoming too common and it's losing it's impact, it should never lose it's impact.

You have the cause effect reversed.

Third wave feminists got super militant, super angry and all about "all men are just rapists in hiding". The whole "check your unearned male privilege before speaking to me" type ***. This kind of angry offensive misandry got shoved down young men's throats in universities and eventually those men responded. That response was anger and rejection of feminist ideology. The sisterhood united and all sorts of ***started. And like radical feminism, some in the mens rights movement radicalized but unlike radical feminist those individuals have very little power, hell MRM in general has almost zero power because you know, "*** men".

Anyhow got errands but I'm sure the radical feminists will be all fire and pitchforks.

I'll say something women don't want to hear but should. Men and women aren't equal and they never will be.

And there is nothing wrong with that.

Do you know what Misogyny is? Misandry?

Get a good understanding of those before throwing them out like labels.

Persistence, not anger. For a personal example, if I mod someone and they come to me, call me a fascist, a Nazi, etc. they probably aren't going to do anything but be ignored. If, however, they will come and talk it out in a civilized manner, I'm more likely to tweak things to help them.

Anger is off-putting.

And I get that. But what do you do when someone in your position has absolutely no desire to help, regardless of your disposition?

What happens is you get sick of it and decide to push the issue. And after you have to do this 90184907127319 times? You start giving zero *** about how you treat the next person because you have no reason to believe this person is going to be any better than the others before them.

Yeah, I get that but to that next person, they are the first one you've spoke with on the issue. If you're speaking rudely, no they won't help you.

Pretty sure Sarkeesian is just in it for the money, she probably doesn't believe half the ***she says or even play video games.

Oh she does this communist *** is a prostitute for George Soros who funds her. He got her to the United Nations to talk ***about how video games demonize women and funds black Lives Matter sowing division in the United States much like both the Democrat and Republican parties do which also take donations fr Soros.

Finally someone that gets it !

As long as you label yourself a feminist be prepared to endure all that comes with that.

No woman has to be part of a group or ideology.

Your "complements" are never wanted. Just be happy that you don't live in a stand your ground state and most women aren't armed.

"I felt threatened...."

And as to what we want. Rape is NEVER what we want. And there was a serial rapist in Seattle who specialized in women older than I.
