Why I am so passionate about speaking out against feminism.

[John V]

If that's the case, my second objection is that the not-crazy feminists so rarely call out the ones who are crazy. That's just what I'm doing here. If you aren't one of the crazy ones and you aren't going to defend the crazy ones, I was never talking about you.

First, the moderates, rarely hear the crazy positions. If you're not in academia and you don't follow liberal or conservative blogs, you really don't hear much from such people.

Second, there's the aspect of legitimizing the positions by arguing against them. In my experience most people find the all sex is rape position to be too ridiculous to bother arguing against.

I guess the question I'd want to as you is why it's more important to you that you defend the title 'feminism' than acknowledge the issues I've had with self identified feminists?

I don't know what issues you've had.

Again, watch the video I posted.

Again, I don't watch videos. It's a policy of mine. Type it out if you want me to consider it.

She specifically states that she is pro-choice, pro GLBT, pro gender equality and pro so many of the other things feminism is supposed to stand for. But she isn't crazy about calling herself a feminist because she's seen the title used to defend way too much bad behavior. That's how I feel.

Christianity is used by the fringe to defend bad behavior, but I'm not going to quit calling myself a Christian because of it. If I were a Baptist, I wouldn't let Westboro scare me away from calling myself a Baptist.

If your claim is that the great majority of not-crazy feminists shouldn't be judged by the words and actions of a loud minority of them, would it be fair to call out feminists who exercise the exact same behaviors? Why don't I ever see this shit being mentioned?

Maybe because the great majority of not-crazy feminists don't ever see this shit in the first place. I get the feeling you're pissed at feminists and so actively seek out the fringe's crazy shit. Most moderates don't do that.
