more like 100+ times.

As she approaches 40 that's going to drop off to just about zero. I honestly wonder if these people prefer being too visible, or their inevitable invisibility. I know it's not an either/or question, sure society theoretically could change to reduce the number of people *that wouldn't interest them* that hit on attractive young women for more of a balance, but the reality is more of an either/or situation, so I'm curious which they end up having preferred. Are these women relieved when they are basically sexual invisible to men and don't have to deal with this anymore?

Nearly every woman that actually mentions it does not appear to be relieved by it at all lol

You can smooth it out and sex it up, but ultimately the reason many people find the word feminism frightening is that it is a fearful thing for anyone invested in male privilege.

Stupid idea aside this is when I stopped :"they'd prefer us to talk about "equalism" if we must speak at all."

Right there they dismiss the notion of wanting equality. If you can't admit that there are definitely benefits to being female that men don't have then your ignoring the truth and cherry picking and THAT is the issue with you and alot of feminist. You cherry pick and straw hat all day and claim your the victim. I bet you if the feminist movement stopped trying to smear everyone "not with them" and instead worked on getting everyone to the same level they would have alot more help.

Follow up, maz you get called a white Knight because your arguments boil down to "the man did it" it's no different than minoritys claiming that the "man" the is holding them down while ignoring the culture they have made and glorified is a problem as well.

The fuck is this

That article was a sea of fallacies. There could have even been some good points in there, but nobody outside of its very narrow target audience (people who already think just like the author) is going to find any value in it. It's basically only meant to make people who already think like that feel better and superior, not to change any minds.

It apply to maz ignoring all facts and picking the view he wants. you did it as well, as a point to prove by cutting the top portion off.

He's talking about black culture.

pictured: me being afraid of confronting my male privilege

The shirts have been worn by Ed Miliband, Nick Clegg and Harriet Harman, all keen to display their feminist credentials – even though the Deputy Prime Minister last night admitted he had ‘no idea’ where the garments were made.

But The Mail on Sunday has toured a factory producing the T-shirts, where workers earn just 6,000 rupees a month – equivalent to £120.

The figure is just a quarter of the country’s average monthly wage, and around half of what a waiter earns. Each ‘feminist’ T-shirt costs just £9 to make, but high street chain Whistles sells them for £45 each – a figure it would take the women a week and a half to earn.

While it's true that there is usually no 'man,' a moustache twirling cartoon villain responsible for racism and sexism, I'm boggled that the second thing you go to is 'their glorified culture' (whatever the fuck that means) and not, say, structural racism like the war on drugs, the crumbling Voting Rights Act and gentrification driving heightened segregation in neighborhoods. Seemed like a terrible, poorly informed comparison to say the least, but thanks for clearing up your position by saying absolutely nothing!

You've honestly just used 81 words to say absolutely nothing.

[Mazmaz]

I don't understand what the shock about the article was. Many of you have made a point about why feminists don't re-brand as "humanist" or "equalist" or any other stupid label. That's the only thing the article was supposed to demonstrate.

[quannum]

so it's not because it's a made up label? im so confused.

What? That's not at all what the link you posted was about.
Someone link to the violence against the lgbt thread so we can avoid the circle this will spawn
