Why I am so passionate about speaking out against feminism.

[TaraJo]

Again, when I hear of crazy behavior from a person with known mental illness who identifies as a feminist, I find it more reasonable to attribute the crazy behavior to the mental illnesses rather than the feminist beliefs.

And what do you attribute it to when people exhibit crazy behavior without a mental illness, but they're heavily indocrinated into a specific belief system? For example, when Andrea Dworkin claimed that all heterosexual sex is rape, what do you attribute that to? When a large group of feminists started a riot at the University of Tornoto to shut down a speaking event they didn't like, what do you attribute that to?

So, at what point to these type of experiences become common enough that they're worthy of your attention? Or, at least, at what point do these kind of experiences become common enough that they aren't called "stereotypes based on isolated experiences?"

When they're coming from otherwise sane people and represent a majority of feminists I suppose.

Without any consideration for my own, lived experiences? Shame on you. Seems to me you're ignoring my own experiences because they aren't the same as yours. Isn't that what you like to call mansplaining?

In the business/professional world, there are a lot of "Women in [field]" groups. This is a type of feminism. These groups are usually pretty reasonable in their views. I don't think it's reasonable to judge feminism by the fringe types that make headlines.

Yes, and, as I stated in my initial post in this thread, I can agree with that type of feminism. If you're encouraging women to get into these fields, you have my full support. If you're just chastising men for having privilege or calling everything rape, you can go to hell. I'm sick and tired of the victim based feminism and I loathe the way it's scaring women out of achieving our full potential.
