This what Feminism is supposed to be

[Lord Tony®]

but in people's heads they view men as supreme more often than vise versa.

And how do you not know if women purposely did that to make men seem like superior beings while women claim all the rights and it goes unnoticed?

A woman can beat a man up and it would go unnoticed but if that man fights back the woman will attempt to cry and passers by will gang up to beat the man to help the "defenseless" woman.

These feminists keep claiming the patriarchy but it seems like the other way around.

and how do I know if you're just spewing stuff? I don't, and it'd take a lot more work than I'm willing to do so.

Apparently, Tony loves to use minority to represent the whole, and really doesn't deny it either

He also absolutely adores spitting random bits of information with little context or proof

[Lord Tony®]

Path you know feminists don't like white knights, right? Radical or normal. They can defend themselves without a man helping.

lmaooo

well, more "privilege" at least.

I went to the supermarket the other day to get my groceries. As I was checking out, the cashier happened to be a male. He greats me by saying "hello, fellow white male." I said hello back, then he followed up with "Here's your 20% discount for being white." Man I love being privileged because of my gender and race.

No but serious question. Am I the only one who grew up without racism or loveism? When I see someone, I judge them on how they act and not how they look. When a girl on my team sucks at a sport, I get annoyed. When a guy on my team sucks at a sport, I get annoyed. I've never found myself subconsciously judging people due to their race or gender.

Many people grow up without racism or loveism but are usually just trying to troll others or are looking for a fight.

There are actually a surprising number of non-tribal and non-loveist people that grow up around a normally discriminative lifestyle, but just know right from wrong by default. Those are some truly respectable people

Personally, I was raised by a very diverse family of different religious and political views, as well as different races. I'm also lucky enough to have grown up in a very culturally diverse setting in general, being that I live in a city with a lot of people from foreign countries and of different beliefs

All the actual gender equality issues have been fought for.

Women can vote now, no longer a pay gap, etc.

Now we are at the year 2016 and women are fighting for what exactly?

pretty sure people are declaring war on words now

like "bossy" and "feisty" because they...i don't even know honestly. most of those descriptions consisted of stupid buzzwords and i can't remember them at all

If they really want these words banned then they are living in the wrong country.

There is a thing called freedom of speech.

Out of all the words to ban first, monday should be one of them. We can't ban words. It is against the constitution.

[Path]

Trying to ban the word 'bossy' is pretty stupid and really taking it too far. However, they do raise the point of gender assertion and how people who view males of dominant will think of females of the same stature as bossy.

I wouldn't ban the word I would just try to encourage people not to use it.

There is a thing called freedom of speech.

Freedom of speech does not protect you from being socially ostracized for the language you choose to use.

Ban bossy was completely insane, but it wasn't infringing on anyone's rights. I'm going to take an educated guess and say that they weren't necessarily calling for the outright ban of the word, but instead using the audacity of this message to garner attention

That's exactly what they were doing.

The Campaign itself wasn't very successful because the premise was stupid. You can't ban a word, no matter how hard you try it will still be a word spoken by other people.
Just look at race slang.

[Lord Tony®]

Bossy was never exclusive to females only. It represents any gender.
