-- discussing the merits of her feminism, and your take on it, is very apt. You certainly had no problem offering your own opinion of feminism, but get frustrated when others don't share your outlook and instead offer their own?
You opened the discussion yourself. It's a good discussion.
I'm not sure how you've drawn all those conclussions.
1. I said "many feminist movements are out of line in being against men." I wasn't giving an opinion on feminism in general.
We've already agreed in this thread that there are different varieties of feminism. You introduced discussion about it when you gave your opinion on her feminism. It's appropriate for people to point out that there are other feminist views. That is what's happening here.

"Discussing the merits of her feminism" is fairly straightforward. You gave your opinion of her feminism. So are others. What's confusing you here?

I'm frustrated at people having a problem with others saying some men's issues are valid. Im frustrated with people having a problem with a person being for womens rights but choosing not to use the lable of feminist on themselves. Im frustrated about people calling ME anti feminist for simply saying some men's issues are worthy of discussion.
I think almost everyone here has acknowledged that men do face some difficulties. I know I have. I don't care for the broad generalizations laid against feminists when we have already more or less agreed that there are many shades of feminism.

Laughable. I seem to recall you responding to my comments about male discrimination with a sarcastic, "I'm a man. I know."
They key word there is "sarcastic." You're bright enough to sense the sarcasm, but parsing it seems to escape you.

Here we go again. You submitted a post that was ambiguous about its direction to me or whether it was just a ramble. You got pissy with me about how it wasn't directed at me. I pointed out that it wasn't clear, and I explained why. Now, this. You're a real dickhead, Thump. I don't care if I get a warning about it. You don't even try to have reasonable conversations with me. You're just snarky and then blame it all on me when I tell you off for it. Pfft.
I'm not pissy. I'm just a sarcastic asshole and don't give two shits rubbed together about making your feely-weelies all warmlike. Maybe if you'd like a decent conversation you will actually shitcan the pedantry and simply address the points? Forgive me for not holding my breath, though. I've tried, was rebuffed, and ain't going to waste time on such a vapid cunt again.
And -- you needn't worry about any warnings ... a nice piece of window-dressing, but you and I both know it won't be landing on you. Spare me your edginess.
