Personally, I take major issue with his assertion and blanket statement of all those who disagree with his definition of Feminism. I don't consider myself sexist or feminist first of all, so I think that refutes him. I would consider myself Egalitarian (or Equalitarian) and I personally see that as the best label for someone interested in the equal rights of both genders equally instead of Feminism which unfortunately does focus on women.

From what I've heard personally; The feminists I run into tend to laugh at oppression that happens to men, they don't fight along side the men when the men are marginalized like women can be marginalized and the men's oppression is dismissed as patriarchy. But if it was such an obvious patriarchy then why do so many men struggle, fill up prisons at 10:1 ratio over women and almost never get custody of kids... Anyway, just wanted to get the forums thoughts on this quote and topic.

Some female perspective on this would be most appreciated as well.

Please provide examples of when white, heterosexual men have been or are being ...''marginalized''? (in remote comparison to women/homosexuals/men who are not white)

Why does it matter if you're white or a male? A white male can't be oppressed? I'd say that's pretty sexist and racist of you to imply that. Even if I gave you examples I doubt that would suffice for you if you would make such a sexist racist claim about white males not being oppressed or being capable of being oppressed. This is almost bad as when deistpaladin was saying that males who fear rape are just insecure.
If the hypothetical idea of an afterlife means more to you than the objectively true reality we all share, then you deserve no respect.
