"If you're not a Feminist, you're a Sexist"

RE: "If you're not a Feminist, you're a Sexist"
(April 11, 2014 at 10:25 am)DeistPaladin Wrote: Then you are a feminist, at least as I understand the proper definition. A feminist is someone who wants equality between the genders. This may be what AronRa means. Kind of like how he says, "if you are not a theist, you are an atheist" (that there is no middle ground).

But I'm not. And this is the problem I had with Aron, giving me a label for myself and if I don't accept his label and definition then I'm sexist. It's bullshit.

I wouldn't consider a Feminist an Egalitarian seeing as how they ignore men's oppression. Where are the feminists marching for that?

Sounds like the No True Scotsman fallacy. Who are you to decide what a real feminist is anyway? it's an overarching idea you can't equate like that. I was very careful with my wording as to not label them all but it's getting hard at this point.

Well seeing as how feminists can be pretty sexist, why strip anything..
If the hypothetical idea of an afterlife means more to you than the objectively true reality we all share, then you deserve no respect.
