Hate speech. Racist and ugly.

Of course the resistant feminist posts it.

Ever heard of satire? Think of the premise here, that colored women (and men? Or any women?) could wrest the power from white males and deny them the vote? Is that even remotely likely to ever happen on this planet? I kinda doubt it. Maybe on Mars (men are from Mars aren't they, so probably not.) How about Venus? Yes! I think that could happen! In our lifetime, NOT.
Consider the conclusion of the article: "Although this may seem unfair and unjust, allowing white males to continue to call the shots politically and economically, following their actions over the past 500 years, is the greater injustice"
Maybe that gives us a clue as to the frustration that people of color feel after all these centuries of oppression,and relatively little progress.

There is no "first", "second", or "third wave" of "modern feminism". Feminists are doing what they have always done, carried on to accomplish their goals in spite of those who would throw themselves in their way to stop them.

Read this genius of a feminist and tell me she sounds logical or sane.

will heterosexuality survive women’s liberation?

It won’t, not unless men get their act together, have their power taken from them and behave themselves. I mean, I would actually put them all in some kind of camp where they can all drive around in quad bikes, or bicycles, or white vans. I would give them a choice of vehicles to drive around with, give them no porn, they wouldn’t be able to fight – we would have wardens, of course! Women who want to see their sons or male loved ones would be able to go and visit, or take them out like a library book, and then bring them back.

I hope heterosexuality doesn’t survive, actually. I would like to see a truce on heterosexuality. I would like an amnesty on heterosexuality until we have sorted ourselves out. Because under patriarchy it’s *bleep*

Believe it or not, Star Trek had an episode based on this alone. I can still see it, Captain Kirk beamed down on to a planet run exactly like that.
As WW3 develops, no one is going to be dissing the "preppers." What have you done?

Geography teacher cleared of raping pupil says men should stay away from teaching

"I will never work with children again. I will never put myself in that position of vulnerability."

The accusations emerged in December 2014, and Mr Harris said he was in "total shock" when police arrested him.

He told the newspaper he had made the decision to kill himself if he was charged, but that with the arrival of a baby daughter he wanted to carry on and prove his innocence.

No it doesn't sound logical or sane. It sounds just as kooky as the misogynistic males who talk the same way.
So you have a darn good example of a feminist (which I'm not even sure you could use that word for someone who doesn't particularly represent most women either) who has gone pretty much out there, at least in her verbiage. Since she has not acted on her more extreme views, I'm thinking it's a lot of wild talk, probably to get attention.
I don't think a handful, or even a cartful of people with outrageous opinions makes a movement though.
Are there crazy (or more likely outlandish) feminists in the world? I am sure there are. And are there crazy(outlandish) misogynists is the world, I am sure there are.

Well done. "Men do it too" arguments are awesome. Just about as rational as the liberals who immediately trash Harper whenever you insult Trudeau. It's a brilliant strategy

As a group, in general? No I don't think "men do it too". Do the most far out there misogynists, in their wilder comments, yes, they do. It's not a strategy, not sure what you mean. You asked if anyone thought it was logical or sane. There are people on the extremes of any thought process. That doesn't mean most ascribe to it. Do you think most people (sane)would agree that men should be imprisoned and heterosexuality banned? That's not a commonly held belief.

If people want to read what "trashing a gender" looks like, just hit up any modern feminist blog.


Would you say a statement like this is trashing the opposite gender?

Men don't ever kill children they don't want to pay for?
That looks a lot like trashing a gender.

You've had this post removed multiple times so instead it being taken down again I'll address it.

Yes. We as a society dont force women to carry babies to term and make them pay for them. If we did that, they would either throw their babies down wells, throw them in lakes or bury them in newspaper in walls of houses like they did 100 years ago -or kill the baby and themselves at much higher rates than now. I believe you either misquoted me or there is a (mobile) typo, but that is not trashing a gender, that is a statement of fact. Just like "seatbelts save lives". Less women kill their babies and themselves because we dont make them carry babies or keep them if they dont want them.

You posting a story about taking the vote away from men and "musing" about it is trashing a gender.

I am here to trash modern feminism, not women. You have been caught multiple times being unable to separate "women" from" feminism" and by design that is one of the flashing red warning lights of modern feminism. Challenging the "wage gap" is like slapping your mom in the face - or other such nonsense sentiments.

I look forward to seeing you continue bring shining examples of modern feminism into this discussion.

This post remains, as you can see, not removed from here, so I guess it's on topic after all.
I never mentioned the wage gap being anything like " a slap in my mother's face" so you must be confused.

You claimed you never trash the opposite gender and I showed a clear example where you did just that.

Oh, and watch out for those "flashing red warning lights of feminism"!
Maybe they are really Stop Lights, lol.

No, you didn't. You following me around the forums trying to slander me is certainly an attempt to trash something though.

Sometimes certain types of people come out of the woodwork when they feel a woman has gone too far, simply by doing her job, like reporting the news. Some Anti-feminists don't like women nailing those reporting jobs I guess. So they send out mean tweets, trashing the woman just because of her gendre,
