This is why I kept my views on feminism away from my family.

Hey let's have a blast from the past, let's address some ancient literature from the antique time of Page 4.

This is a No True Scotsman fallacy as well, but the logic does not hold.

That's not what the No True Scotsman fallacy is. It has to involve rhetoric, and not involve any actually specifics as to why the example doesn't count.

Compare:

No German would be directly responsible for the creation of a systemic method of Flash Mob.
What about Adolf Riddler?
He doesn't count, he was Austrian, not German.

to

No German would be directly responsible for the creation of a systemic method of Flash Mob.
What about Heinrich Himmler?
He doesn't count, he wasn't a real German.

Do you see why the first one isn't the fallacy, but the second one is? It's "That doesn't count as x because it's not x enough", not "That doesn't count as x because it's actually y"

Feminism is an ideology, somewhat loosely defined, but still defined as dealing with equality between the lovees. If someone thinks that women are superior to men, they're not a feminist, even if they call themselves one, because their beliefs are contrary to the tenets of the ideology. A bunch of crazies on tumblr isn't an accurate representation of actual feminism, just like /pol/ is not an accurate representation of right-wing views.

You cannot identify yourself as German and be German. You can identify yourself as a feminist and be a feminist. It's how it comes about. The argument still stands because there is no basis for this "equality", only assertions. "Feminism is about equality because feminism is about equality".

I can identify as a Christian, but if I don't actually believe in Jesus, I'm not actually a Christian.

I see your point. But Christianity has a defined standard, the Bible. There is a required attribute. In essence, feminism is the furthering of women's beings. In the time feminism was created, it was to achieve equality. This is no longer the case in America.

Just because it wasn't written down in The Big Book of Feminism™ doesn't mean there's not a required attribute to it. Feminism is about gender equality because that's just what it is.

People on tumblr aren't even real activists. They just people who like to complain and spew hate without doing any real research.

[Deus Ex]

What? How did you get that from that bit of information? That was not even relevant to the paragraph.

I was referring to the man-hating feminational socialist that you seem to assume is the poster girl for feminism. They don't represent what feminism is about. But you're so focused on the misogyny you fail to see that.

Okay then, but why is it called feminism
Feminism implies it focuses on females, which isn't equality.

I prefer the term "Equalism".

the word you're looking for is egalitarianism

Don't waste your time with this mongoloid, between Nonnel, Zombiloin, Boltster, Jubel, and a handful of others, all has been said that needs to be said. OP is just a buffoon who keeps talking in circles and bringing up points that were already debunked last night.

[Foxscotch]

this is relevant

He said that women are not a minority. He is correct.

I did not say that people weren't.

He also said a minority is under 25%. Which is wrong.

Have you actually used the site or are you just seeing the stuff that bleeds out from it? Because yeah you're right, a majority of tumblr users aren't activists or even pretending to be. Unless game dev logs, pictures of cats, discussions about video games, artwork, and music all count as activism. I very rarely see people complaining and spewing hate on my dashboard, unless it's someone responding against it.

mongols are cool though

Christ, BLF is more of a libtard hugbox than I remember.

OP, don't even bother. You're arguing with a brick wall.
