It's just stupid. Do you feel that threatened by the fact there's groups of (mostly) women advocating rights and trying to fix issues? Does it bother your enlightened conscience that, let's say, some women dislike being sexually harassed, blamed for rape or having to conform to a culture that mostly values their beauty and incites them to spend enormous amounts of money on it?Egalitarianism is a more inclusive label, unlike modern feminism, which focuses on females, and if you deny that, you're simply denying reality. If feminists were actually fighting for oppresssed women in the middle east or actual oppressed women in the world (which they ignore) they'd have my support, but they're rather cry about videos games that plenty of women like and don't find sexist, ya kno
While I disagree with a lot of the stuff that comes out of PZ Meyers and his circles, even considering some of it inane and useless, your response is just...just vapid really.
And I don't know what kind of feminists you hang out with (if any), but the feminists I enjoy don't 'only focus on females'. All the shit MRA's like to complain about as persecution against men (mother being the default guardian in divorces, only men being able to serve in combat roles, etc) are things that the feminists I know are against as well.
