Thunderf00t vs. Feminism

[Jenny A]

Well then perhaps its time to reconsider your label. Another reason I suggest this changing of label is because everytime you calmly explain that feminism is about equality you end up looking like a hypocrite every time a extremist exclaims something stupid like all sex is rape.
The point I'm getting at is that the extremists need to be called out, and moderate feminists need to stop defending them against people that call them on their bullshit. If this doesn't happen then eventually the population will get fed up with the whole thing and write off the entire movement. They will end losing women more rights then they gain them

It's simpler to just explain I'm for gender equality and let it go at that.

The problem of extremists is a problem born by every movement from those who are for racial equality, to those for religious freedom, to those for and against abortion, and so on. Name a movement and I'll find you some extremists. I don't defend them. But I don't waste time calling them all out either. Mostly they are so ridiculous as to be hardly worth the bother.

Emma Watson did a pretty good job recently of tackling both feminism and extremism. But it won't rein in the extremists who appear to live largely in la la land or college campuses.
