I don't know much of anything about New Zealand so perhaps you can enlighten me but I'm pretty sure your neighborhood doesn't have the same kind of faux-radical activist climate that I'm surrounded by and well GBS might have an IQ of 60 in these times but I'm sure you know about anecdotes and the perils thereof

oh right, yeah I guess due to cultural differences it's a bit rarer for someone outside academia to self identify as a feminist here so maybe they're more likely to be thoughtful about it if they do? idk

it's deffo been my experience that feminist women make good friends (and sometimes partners but I don't want to emphasise that part because "feminism's cool because liberated women are easy" is the worst meme and misses the point)

I personally prescribe to the philosophy of egalitarianism, which is like feminism only better. True equality means treating everyone's problems as though they are equally important.
i agree with this. egalitarianism is a much better movement because it doesn't focus only on the issues of one gender or race. as a card carrying member of the klu klux klan i dont understand why we cant just put all these social movements in one basket, because obviously every person should be equal before the law and i dont think anyone can disagree. women and negroids shouldn't get horribly unfair treatment like affirmative action and sexual harassment laws that discriminate against all the marginalized white men in our society.

that's why i ardently agree with your post, my vote is for egalitarianism too.

yeah I guess I misused meme there

and yeah of course a woman who doesn't think having sex makes her a bad person will be more likely to have sex when she wants to, and that is a good thing, I'm just wary of promoting that as a reason for a guy to support feminism since it's self-serving

It isn't. It's only threatening when you're doing other threatening things to give it the menace that doesn't exist online or in casual conversation. Like, if I told you to go gently caress yourself if you asked me for the time, would you think I was ordering you to jack it?

I think this should be a safe space where everyone can discuss their feelings without that kind of triggering language.

This looks a lot like suffering.
I can dig feminism when it's legit, but there's a certain brand of it that acts like all men are conspiring to keep women down. In actuality, part of being a man is accepting the fact that nobody really cares about you (except maybe your family) so you have to make your own way and figure poo poo out for yourself. Guy friendship is not like girl friendship at all.

Feminism is about women being able to choose what they want to do, and also being allowed to do it.

This is what insufferable people say.

I go home and I have rough sex with my wife while she hits me with a paddle or a whip and calls me racial slurs. As far as I'm concerned feminism just exists now to give organizations money to pay people with little to no practical skill sets.

Everything is either matter or energy, but that doesn't mean uninterested strangers want to hear what you think about quantum mechanics, at all times, at the dinner table, on the toilet, in bed, in gbs, ....


Expounding at length about your pet subject to people who do not care is like the quintessential tism/sperg trait.
