when I meet a woman who says that she's a feminist she usually turns out to be pretty cool to talk to and hang out with

thanks for reading my feminism story

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)

its not a meme its a stereotype and its true.

e: but that is a good thing and just another reason why feminism is ftw

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

i watched some of the anita sarkeesian videos and i think shes right. a lot of the evidence and clips from videogames prove themselves and theres so much of it that its really overwhelming

yeah but criticism is the same as censorship, someone telling me my hobby is bad is a violation of my rights somehow
