Feminism Thread

Did anita get a sex change? Thought it was p. Clear he was critical of the male ally.

You're using a camera as a way to say someone makes more money than whatever standard you've invented to mean 'lucrative.' And you don't like me clowning you about it even though it has fuck all to do with anything. This thread is you posting 'hurr feminists' over and over again and you accuse me of shitposting, son.

Conspicuous consumption is a pretty good barometer of how much money somebody makes, yeah. Do you have a defense or argument that isn't strawmanning or false dichotomy?

[BaneTheBrawler]

Even if he were shitposting, that wouldn't magically mean you aren't.

can confirm, shitposting is part of the human condition.

Are you going to bring more evidence to the table showing that it is a lucrative field or just base it off one dude's selfie and a kickstarter that only succeeded because of anti-feminists?

From Vice: There's a New Prudishness in Feminism and I Hate It

Shortly after reading the Daily Elite piece, someone shared an article on Facebook called "​Attention Instagram 'Models', You are Selling Yourselves." The fact that it is hosted on th​eproblemismen.com is a bit of a giveaway that it's not to be taken as an intelligent feminist critique, but the 70,000 shares it's had on social media suggest that more than a few people are taking it seriously. Rather helpfully, it's accompanied by a photo of a young girl posing in a bikini. It reminded me of the time Julie Bindel ​wrote a piece moaning about expressions of lesbianism in pop culture—giving the Daily Mail an excuse to run pictures of young, scantily clad celebrities lezzing it up at parties.

...

Despite the considerable gains made by sex-positive feminists in recent years, we've seen neo-prudery pop up in ​last week's attempt to criminalize aspects o​f prostitution in the UK, despite protests by many sex workers and former sex workers. And then there's the "Ban this sick filth!" campaign against lads mags. ​And porn. Porn! Yeah, good luck with that. Just close down the entire internet while you're at it. It didn't work in the 80s when ​radical feminists tried to ban adult men and women from enjoying BDSM and it won't work now.

The fact is that you can't stop people from doing what they want to do. I'm sick of ladies-what-lunch, with no worldly life experience to speak of or draw from, judging women who are different to them. You're not better, you're just different.

Couldn't decide whether to put this in the grocery store headlines thread or here, but since this is basically the degree in which feminism or racism is discussed in the general public, I'll throw it in here:

Kim Kardashian doesn’t realize she’s the butt of an old racial joke

Last night, social media was flooded with images of Paper Magazine’s Winter 2014 cover featuring Kim Kardashian’s glistening posterior. The response was both explosive and polarizing. Some rolled their eyes and complained “I’m so tired of seeing her naked. She’s a mother! Put some clothes on” while others applauded her boldness and sex appeal.

So last night while everyone else was arguing over Kim’s K’s right to show her butt, my focus was on something else entirely. When I looked at the spread all I saw was a not so subtle reincarnation of Saartjie Baartman – imagery that is steeped in centuries of racism, oppression and misogyny.

This caliber of fuck-up almost equals that time when Beyonce pissed people off temporarily when she teamed with war criminal Condi Rice for her "bossy" campaign lol

I'm sure this story will miss all major news outlets while neofeminists continue to use her as their prime example of slut-shaming.

[Priran]

kim kardashian is fucking armenian. she is as literally caucasian as a person can be.

[notorious bum]

Kim Kardashian took to her personal blog Wednesday to let everyone know she “never really gave racism or discrimination a lot of thought,” but since becoming a mother, she realizes they still exist.

At 33 years old, to boot. What a time to be alive.

Philae scientist bullied to tears by "feminists" who think women are so frail and flighty that they'll be scared out of science by a bowling shirt with hot gun-wielding chicks on it

During a press briefing this afternoon on the progress of the Rosetta mission, Dr Taylor, the lead scientist, appeared visibly upset and struggled to speak.

Eventually he said: “I made a big mistake and I offended many people and I am very sorry about this."

Dr Taylor received a reassuring pat on the back from Andrea Accomazzo, the Rosetta flight operations director, as he went on to describe the current state of the mission.

"Yeah you landed a robot on a snowball 300 million miles away bUT YOUR FUCKING SHIRT ARGHGHGJHLGIFGHWEKUGFEF"

When feminism threatens us with a second Dark Age do you think we'll have a chance to outlaw it first?

[Salodin]

Nah, because the other feminist will hand wave these incidents away as the minority doing something that isn't in line with the core values of feminism. You know, not too different then what gamergate people are going through now.

[Galkaeater]

That shirt was fucking Rad
fucking haters

[quannum]

But maz told me that critiques about your appearance at work only happens to females, im so confused.

Also, the shirt was designed by a woman.

[Koul]

The guys obviously a stupid virgin neckbeard basement dweller misogynistic oppressing rapist. He's actually pretty hot <_>; something something sexual innuendo with space probes and stuff something something.

[Mazmaz]

This is the sort of casual misogyny that stops women from entering certain scientific fields. They see a guy like that on TV and they don't feel welcome. They see a poster of greased up women in a colleague's office and they know they aren't respected. They hear comments about "bitches" while out at a bar with fellow science students, and they decide to change majors. And those are the women who actually make it that far. Those are the few who persevered even when they were discouraged from pursuing degrees in physics, chemistry, and math throughout high school. These are the women who forged on despite the fact that they were told by elementary school classmates and the media at large that girls who like science are nerdy and unattractive. This is the climate women who dream of working at NASA or the ESA come up against, every single day.

[quannum]

this is the sort of casual ignorance that stops people from taking you seriously.

[Galkaeater]

If a man wearing a shirt with gun toting babes stops you from pursuing science then your probably better off taking women studies or journalism in college anyway.

Men with goofy shirts give scientists of the fairer sex a deathly case of the vapors and send them running for the humanities!

Fucking this.

I've always enjoyed the casual hypocrisy of feminism where women are simultaneously strong and independent, but somehow so weak-willed that one dude's shirt is powerful enough to stop a legion of women from pursuing their dreams. Or the doublethink where women are allowed to be smart and sexy (I agree with this), but somehow a man appreciating a woman's sex appeal is barbaric and demeaning.

This shit hella ridiculous

As to the jabroni with the camera, is it known what kind of car He drives?
