Minorities of many stripes have equal protection under the law, but that doesn't mean that they're equal from a cultural standpoint. Saying, "whelp, you're equal now, it says so right on the paper, so you can all just quiet down now" is idiotic in the extreme.
Seriously, all TheMessiah has done in this thread is use the specious 'reasoning' I usually see attached to GamerGate people. Which isn't a compliment.
Firstly, GamerGate has nothing to do with this thread - if you want to talk about that, do so in another thread or elsewhere. This thread is about me
Secondly, yes, that means Feminism is no longer needed; Feminism becomes fractured when they begin to criticize culture - once legal equality has been achieved, different political ideologies take over; saying ''rape culture exists'' and ''manspreading is a problem'' etc begins to take dominance because there is no shared goal - years ago, Feminists of different political streams could band together to fight for common goal, this is no longer the case
You don't need the Feminist label to criticize aspects of a culture - I don't need the label of ''anti racist'' to criticize racist culture, in the 21st century western world, it's expected as part of our decent moral values; many people call out racism now, 50 years ago, the label ''anti racist'' was needed because racism was the norm.
It's why we see SJW's asserting their nonsense drivel and ''trigger warning'' bullshit, whereas right-wing Feminists also assert their drivel; neither can even agree on what constitutes as ''equality''
