So they're not Feminists?

So they're not Feminists?
the people who think air conditioning is loveist and that all men should be castrated are not feminists
but these are the only occurrences of 'feminism' that get media attention because its shocking and stupid

wonder what world you're living in lord tony cause none of what you stated is the case in practically everywhere i've been. yeah sure there's places where suits are required and such but those tend to be strictly the lawyer/legal/political professions.

i've been to many a tech company here in silicon valley and at no point did i see men having issues with clothing at the level you've stated. if you want to make people see from your point of view can you give better reasons and proof that men actually have it hard.

i'm all for equality but i do cringe at the word feminism since its so often associated with those extremist feminists. this news is understandable, but its not going to solve the problem of feminists nor inequality, nor is as important or serious as you make it out to be with this topic dedicated to just this one article.

So they're not Feminists?
not in the strict definition of the word, most of them. most extreme feminists seem more geared towards raising women privilege rather than evening the statistical playing field. or they disregard the differences in background overall between men and women in certain regions.

the people who think air conditioning is loveist and that all men should be castrated are not feminists
They are Feminists though



You just said yourself WITHOUT A SOURCE that women don't produce as much heat as men.

So I say men over heat way more easily than woman and you're like "SOURCE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!"

Where's your source?

there are two kinds of feminists:
the louder, more obnoxious group of sensitive trolls who think women are superior to men
and the quieter, more numerous group who actually follow equal rights

I'm just basically confirming what he's saying. If women can't produce as much heat as men then obviously men over heat more.

What

there are two kinds of feminists:
the louder, more obnoxious group of sensitive trolls who think women are superior to men
and the quieter, more numerous group who actually follow equal rights
They're both Feminists though

They're both Feminists though
yes but they're two different types of people with two whole different belief systems who are labeled the same way and both take the negative affects of the louder (more obnoxious) group
I'm just basically confirming what he's saying. If women can't produce as much heat as men then obviously men over heat more.
he had addressed that though
right below where you complained

A humanitarian wouldn't be caught dead being called a feminist.

Ok?

That's some total bullstuff, where's your source?
What I said is just a basic anatomical fact so I didn't think I needed to source it. Clearly I didn't actually need to source it because you didn't bat an eye at the claim in your first reply.

What you said is a bit more specific and different from what I claimed, so I want a source.

You didn't really address my argument also.

I'm just basically confirming what he's saying. If women can't produce as much heat as men then obviously men over heat more.
No those are two different ideas. Overheating is to produce too much heat. Men producing more heat than women does not mean that they overheat more.

I found the original article and it is precisely the problem with feminism explained by the writer. It really isn't saying the word needs to be changed, it's saying that feminism has now been defaced because of our proclaimed "louder more obnoxious group". In fact it's a feminist which isn't one on Tumblr who complains about every man, as seen in the line "I’m sorry about the women who describe themselves as feminists and then blog nonsense like “How dare blokes approach me and try and strike up a conversation, or comment on the colour of my hair”.
Yeah lots of people hesitate to call themselves feminists because they don't want to be associated with radical feminists or whatever. If feminists could use a new word it would make feminism a lot more palatable.

A humanitarian wouldn't be caught dead being called a feminist.
I didn't expect you to be a humanitarian, tony
