Why do feminists have such a bad reputation?

[Darkstar]

There is no discrimination against women.

Just like there are no racists because it is illegal to discriminate against people on the basis of ethnicity. Oh...wait

Current Klan organizations
A list is maintained by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL):[154]
Bayou Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, prevalent in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana and other areas of the Southeastern U.S.
Church of the American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan[142]
Imperial Klans of America[155]
Knights of the White Camelia[156]
Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, headed by national director and self-claimed pastor Thom Robb, and based in Zinc, Arkansas.[157] It claims to be the biggest Klan organization in America today.

FEMEN are a good example of pointless attention seekers:

I cannot vouch for any particular organization (I don't really know anything about them). Maybe they are crazies like Atheism+. I don't know. The radicals do give the normal people a bad reputation. I do not have extensive knowledge of feminist groups, but I do know enough to realize that there is still discrimination (again, not as fundamental like the right to vote, but not non-existent) where many people do not see it.

You are confusing them with radical feminists. I once thought that all discrimination had ended, and that self-proclaimed feminists must either be taking a stance that is too obvious to mention and already achieved (equality) or are radical feminists. I now realize that I was mistaken, and there are still problems (though not as severe and not all of the same ones as before). Even a basic sociology class will tell you that much. The problem is that radical feminists get a lot of attention...(including Atheism+)

Oh I'll say there are problems. We've swung round far indeed... hopefully momentum can be stopped.

Not that I'm against taking everything a man has to offer, and then refusing him pussy. She ain't no gold digga, nigga.

Only thing I'd add, Tonus, is you should have found a pic of her with her baby bump! Can a woman be more feminine?

Yes... with long hair, explicit examples of her submissiveness, and maybe a totally cute dress and handbag ensamble.

Bonus points if it's a corset, and she's in the shadow of a masculine figure, and she's supremely timid and shy.

There is no discrimination against women. The only reason feminism perpetuates is because:

- women love nothing more than talking about themselves.

- women think they deserve priviledges purely because they are women.

* Violet giggles.

Too easy, man... "There is no discrimination against women" followed by discrimination against women.

* Violet giggles again.

[Shell B]

There is no discrimination against women.

Whoa! Slow down, crazy. There is still discrimination against women, just not so much in the lives of these nutty feminists. Go to the Middle East for a bit.

women love nothing more than talking about themselves

That is called a generalization or a blanket statement. Here's another example: Catholics, such as yourself, do nothing but fuck small children and enable other Catholics to do the same. Shame on you, rapist.

women think they deserve priviledges purely because they are women.

Rapist.

That's just evil, right up there with slavery.

None sense. You do know what you are describing is old European aristocracy standards? Just as it is today with rich men who has all the money and all they want is for their wives to look pretty all the time to show them off like trophies to their entourage. That was never how the rest of the world works and expected from women except those who envy the rich and famous. You got the rest of us all wrong Missy though, you'll still cute.

[Tonus]

... I feel for her back.

Good idea! I'll search the front!

Shouldn't it be the reverse?

Slavery is a good thing, at times... as is taking what others give you when they assume just a little too much.

None sense. You do know what you are describing is old European aristocracy standards?

Eyup.

Femininity, after all, is a cultural invention. What is America if not a little lost child of England? I certainly was not referring to Kiwi or Chink understandings of femininity, because gurl: they cray.

Just as it is today with rich men who has all the money and all they want is for their wives to look pretty all the time to show them off like trophies to their entourage.

Blond bimbo trophy wives. Gotta replace 'em every time they start slipping... but they're lucky there: there's no shortage of pretty young women.

That was never how the rest of the world works and expected from women except those who envy the rich and famous. You got the rest of us all wrong Missy though, you'll still cute.

Sure it is... little cliques form as early as mid-elementary school, and one of the cliques is always the 'pretty bitch' clique (not to be confused with the popular clique, regardless of how often they intersect (often)). The little girls are told by their parents that they're to be cooks, and nurses, and school marms, and housewives, and mothers... the little boys are told by their parents that they're to be soldiers, and doctors, and engineers, and politicians, and husbands.

Mahaps you were lucky, and found yourself with parents who totally didn't subscribe to the social establishment of gender expectations, and they didn't lay any of 'em down on you... but that's just the thing: there is one of these, and the poor people perpetuate it as well as the rich. Haves and have nots both have children, and unless they're totally irresponsible: they have expectations for those children.

You'll still cute, Mister though.

You go for the bottom entrance? Gotcha.

* Violet shouts over her shoulder.

"RHYTHM! We've got another one for your brood-makin! Should we save her for later, or bring her upstairs now?!"

I see! You're of those who just want your rights to be part of the establishment, right or wrong.

You've got me all wrong, frz...

I'm against the establishment of the establishment, and consider it farce at best... and dangerous familiarity at worst.

Right or wrong don't enter into it at all... it's the establishment that's got you thinking this shit in the first place

Funnnnnnny
