There are many things that get on my nerves but one of them is people who think they're promoting feminism, but are just being down right jerks.
1. When you slut shame other girls
Is that girl on instagram wearing a small swimsuit? unless the swimsuit has a swastik print or something, then who the fuck cares!
2. Thinking that being a feminist automatically means you deserve respect
Yes Taylor, other women have the right to make a joke about you, the fact you're a woman doesn't mean you have to be allies. Feminism ain't a cult.
I guess that by this logic we're not allowed to bad-mouth female murderers, because they're women too.
3. Degrading men
You all complain about how women are used as sexual props in men's music videos but this is okay?
No, it does not make you a 'strong woman'. You're no better than the guys who use women as props.
4. Feminism is made to support both genders, not to make females 'superior'
Again, like my last point, the core definition of feminism is 'gender equality'. Since when acting like women are superior to men is considered gender equality?
5. Not standing up for transgender people
Apparently 'girl code' is not available if you're a transgender woman.
Why you ask?
~ because they're not "ReAl" women WooOoOoO ~
(Didn't know you need a woman certificate damn)
6. Calling girls who put makeup on "fake" or shit like that
Again, are they hurting you by putting makeup on their own faces? no? then shut the fuck up
7. THIS SHIT OH MY GOD
8. Being racist
Do I need to say anything else?
9. Acting like some overly-popular white pop singer is the queen of feminism just because she claims to be a feminist
Yeah I mean who gives a shit about women who actually do things to promote feminism like Angela Davis and Laverne Cox, if they're not an overrated pop singer, who cares! this mediocre gal who did nothing other than tweeting "yeah I'm a feminist" is the most powerful feminist this world has encountered!
10. Treating female nipples like they're voldemort
Female breasts are not a sexual organ, stop treating them like they are. The only difference between male and female breasts is that female breasts are a little bit more inflated, to, you know, feed babies. Are you scared of water bottles?
11. Instead of helping women who have abusive partners, you're calling them 'weak' and 'pathetic'.
In case you haven't noticed, you are a part of the problem.
12. Also, shaming sex workers
Doing porn is not illegal, and it's the goddamn person's choice! And I'm saying this again, are they hurting you by doing porn? no? THEN SHUT THE FUCK UP.
13. Being homophobic
Again, being a feminist means supporting equal rights, not having double standards.
14. Thinking women dress for men
"oh sweety you should put some weight on, guys don't like stick figures!"
"don't wear red lipstick! guys hate that!"
"oh my are those high waisted pants? darling no guy would want you if you dress like that"
What Girls & Guys Said
24 25I'm gonna rip my skin off the next time I see the word feminism, feminist, or even women equality. Which should be in like 2 seconds.. just call crypt keeper...
feminism! :)
I didn't need skin anyway :b
Feminism , like many more things that started for a good cause, lost its purpose on the way by idiots who misinterpret its purpose, by idiots who in the name of feminism try to push ridiculous ideas and by other idiots that never bother to educate themselves about the subject before they plaster their opinions about it everywhere. As for this article i agree of few points but not everything
I think feminism is stupid.
You don't see men going around asking for special treatment just cause they're men.
Get over yourselves feminists.
To be treated equally is not asking for special treatment, it's actually the opposite. If some women are really asking for special treatments, then they are not feminists. PERIOD.
@JuicyBrain oh my god they got you too
They haven't "got" me. I just used my brain. If you think that women are sub-humans with less rights than men, then you are a misogynist. I don't think that women are in any way superior to men. I think they are our equals (in worth). In principle, that's what feminism is about. The term has been so twisted that people now thinks it's a cult with the goal of enslaving men. True, there are many women who call themselves feminists when they are actually misendrists, but it's not the word's fault. It's just being misused.
@JuicyBrain don't assume what I think
2. Thinking that because someone isn't a feminist means they deserve disrespect. Feminism doesn't have a monopoly on any of it's principles.
3. Such imagery isn't necessarily degrading. Others don't get to tell me what I find degrading. If you're going to be sex negative then ok, at least be consistent about it across genders, let's not lie to ourselves like it doesn't go both ways.
10. Look at it the other way, Miley is expected to cover her nipples but a guy is expected to cover everything else as well. Guys wouldn't get away with wearing that kind of shit.
11. Does that happen? There are millions in funds that go into women's centres and all kinds of services for women. Men have abusive partners too, there's far fewer services (unisex or men only) available to men.
14. Even if you dress for yourself I'm still entitled to my opinion and to offer it. You're not expected to take it on-board, so you don't need to get snippy about it.
Lmfao, buddy, if you don't want to be a male anymore, just kills yourself and then reborn yourself into a female.
@ihate231 Don't project your issues onto me, friend.
I am just insisting, don't put your panties in a bunch.
Moral of the story no one really cares. Everyone cares about themselves.
Exactly.
@ihate231 word!
I have always thought of feminism as standing for elevating the social status of women to that of men. Hence, feminism, at its core, is centered on women and their interests and liberties.
Assuming that men and women are socially unequal, and that men are higher in rank than women, a philosophy that values equality can go either way. You can either elevate the status of women to that of men, or lower the status of men to that of women. However, it seems in our society we have focused more on women's interests and liberties that men's interests and liberties are sort of neglected. Feminists may blame it on patriarchy and sexism, but I suspect their focus has never really been on men in the first place.
I mean, one of Feminism's core ideas is that women are treated worse than men in society. So yes obviously it focuses much more on women's issues. It does however pay some amount of attention to men in certain areas, because in many areas it's actually basically the same issue affecting both men and women, and you can't really address one without addressing the other.
@cipher42 "one of Feminism's core ideas is that women are treated worse than men in society" is true, if you examine women in developing countries. In developed countries, eh... not so much.
Anon, we don't need feminism in developed countries such as USA and Canada; 3rd wave is just a "hoax". I slut shame girls and no one does shit about it; jokes on you!
@cipher42 I mean, one of Feminism's core ideas is that women are treated worse than men in society. So yes obviously it focuses much more on women's issues. It does however pay some amount of attention to men in certain areas, because in many areas it's actually basically the same issue affecting both men and women, and you can't really address one without addressing the other. that's what we're trying to do but the higher up's are trying to demonize both males and female's in order to stop that we have to against them cause it's time to stop all this separation and come together as a whole
@Opinion owner: Just because the issue is worse in less developed countries doesn't mean it doesn't exist or shouldn't be cared about in developed ones. Because it definitely does exist here, and it definitely is still an issue. @CancerianMan81: "Higher ups"? That's not a thing. Feminism doesn't have ranks or some kind of organized hierarchy or anything. It does have different movements and divisions within it, some more vocal or more radical than others, but there's no rank system. And what exactly do you mean by "coming together as a whole"? Because that sort of rhetoric has been used in a lot of different places to put down all sorts of other movements, including stuff like the civil rights movement.
@cipher42 yeah higher up's the government has gotten things so screwed up that neither man nor woman knows what to do well in order to have to both female and male be equal we would have to come together and think as one that's the whole point that us men and women come together and go against the people that already going against us the people that are trying to do some good to make men and women be as equals we sure in the hell can't be for the people that already going against us
and if anybody tells me I'm being racist can take their racist card and stick it up their ass cause I have a right to discern from what is right and what is wrong
@cancerianman81: again, what higher ups? And provide specific examples and evidence of what you're talking about?
@cipher42 I just did and I don't have to provide any documentation
@cancerianman81: No? You definitely didn't. You're talking in generalities without specific instances or evidence. And if you don't want anybody to take your argument seriously, sure I guess you don't need to support your argument. But unless you give me evidence, I'm gonna go ahead and assume you're just talking out of your ass here.
@cipher42 I'm not the one talking out of my ass your the one that's talking out of your ass you want to know why cause of your people and your demand of taking shortcuts should be as a normal generalized society when it's nothing but a falsehood of reality
but i deserve what I get through other people oh really you don't deserve to get shit if "YOU" didn't work for it
@cancerianman81: again, if you're gonna want me to believe you on any of that, you have to provide evidence. I'm terribly sorry, but that's just how the real world works. And why am I the lazy one when you're the one refusing to provide sources, which is really your responsibility to begin with?
@cipher42 first of all I don't give a shit if you do fucking believe me secondly I don't have to do a fucking thing you tell me to do cause I don't fucking listen to fucking losers like you oh that's rich coming from a person who views their opinion over someone else's because you think your a lot more special then them sadly that ain't that ain't how the real world works I don't know what kind of fantasy land your living in but it sure in the hell ain't a real one
by the way you ain't nothing special
@cancerianman81: I think you're getting a bit defensive there buddy. Did you see how many times you used the word "fuck" in one sentence? Also, if you really don't give a shit about whether or not you're taken seriously, I'd think you'd stop replying. So honestly I think you're just pissed off because I'm not falling for your bullshit. Terribly sorry I'm not an idiot, but this is just kinda how the real world works.
@cipher42 doesn't matter and the one thing is your the one that isn't taking me serious and I'm not getting pissed off I'm just basically call you out on your bullshit and it's pissing you off all the hell i see in you is that you're nothing but a fake ass that try's to indoctrinate your bullshit onto other people and when you don't get your way you shit all over'em which is what your doing
and If you don't want to hear what I think is the truth then take your fake ass somewhere else cause i don't have to put up with your bullshit
@cancerianman81: I'm not actually getting pissed off. Do you see me using "fuck" three times in one sentence? Nope, that's all you. Again, you're the one not providing the evidence you're responsible for giving. I honestly don't give a shit what you think of me, being as you clearly are incapable of rational thought. But if I could eventually goad you into actually supporting your argument that'd be fantastic.
what deems your opinions more worthier than mine in my opinion fucking worthless your opinions ain't even good enough to wipe my ass that's how I think of them
I already told you what i thought but you don't want to hear what I'm trying to tell you all you want to hear is what you want to hear and I'm going to give you want to hear your not worth it in my opinion
@cancerianman81: The fact that I can support mine with facts and reason. Doesn't matter what you think of them, since you, again, are clearly incapable of reason.
@cipher42 oh I got enough reason cause I've lived and learned a hell of a lot long than you have and by the way I don't see no facts all the hell i see is you trying to force your mistakes on me you don't even know me to be saying who you think I am I don't live a lie
I got a hell of a lot more going for myself than you do and i don't have to have somebody else giving me anything especially a no good trouble maker like you
@cancerianman81: Clearly you don't. Doesn't matter how old you are, what matters is your ability to reason. Which is clearly lacking. And again you prove that you can't read or think. I have facts. My facts are that you aren't using facts and evidence. It's clearly true, and you've even admitted to it being true, so what more do I need?
@cancerianman81: I'm sorry, but as far as I'm aware reason doesn't involve swearing at people and typing in all caps. But I s'ppose you wouldn't know.
@cipher42 I do know cause I do my research online but the problem is you people don't bother to look you want everybody else to do it for you and i'm not in a position to do it for you
@cancerianman81: Once again, I find it amusing that you accuse me of being too lazy to do the research when you're the one responsible for providing it, and are too lazy to do so. You do realize that when scientists publish papers that show one thing or another to be true, they provide their evidence in the paper, instead of simply saying "X is true. If you don't believe us, do the experiment yourself." That's because rational people (such as scientists) recognize it to be their own responsibility to provide the evidence to back up their claims. Apparently though, you simply lack the intellectual capacity to understand such rules, and even when they are clearly laid out for you cannot seem to grasp the concept.
@cipher42 no what you don't understand is your wanting me to back up what i said because you want to know and I keep telling you I'm not in a position to do the work for you your suppose to do that for you I ain't your fucking slave
@cancerianman81: And what I keep saying is that fine, you don't want to do the work (which theoretically you've done already anyhow), but then don't get upset when literally no one takes you seriously. Because that's how the world works. By your logic, I could claim that penguins can read people's minds, and that I don't need to provide evidence, you just need to go find it. And if you can't find it, obviously you're not trying hard enough. So sure, I'll believe what you're saying about feminism if you'll believe that penguins are magical space aliens that come here to look into our brains via telepathy.
you can take it or leave it that's your choice not mine
i'm not going to sit here and have you fucking dictate me you don't have a right
@cancerianman81: leave it, that's what I've been saying all along. Same as any person with sense will do. I ain't dictating shit, I'm just telling you that the real world don't work how you think it does. So does this mean you'll believe me about the magical penguins?
@cipher42 the hell you are and you ain't going to tell me any different
and you ain't escaping that not in my eye's you ain't
you got some fucking nerve
I've had about enough of your ass for one day your ass is getting blocked
@cancerianman81: at this point I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. But finally, I was wonderin how long it'd take you to see that if you want to get away with your type of bs, you'd have to block anyone who disagreed. For the record though, I think you're gonna have to block just about everyone for that to work, so good luck.
@cipher42 fuck off
I hope you feel less of yourself and I hope it eats you up inside
@cancerianman81: Homie, you can quit replying whenever you please. Just accept the fact that I'm not dumb enough to be fooled by your bs and move on. And I feel fantastic about myself, thanks.
@cipher42 No jokes on you for thing it is bullshit
by that time it'll be too late for you will I feel sorry for ya not in the least bit
This was beautiful. 😭
