I'm with the feminism is fine until shit starts getting ridiculous camp.
Same with Stalinism, amirite?
Its simple.
Feminism is about the infantilization of women.
No responsibility, no bad things, no consequences.
In other words, Females = children.
I think this is one of the main reasons many people aren't fans of feminism anymore.But it does emphasize the point that Feminism isn't about equality; it's about power. Many college students are taught that Feminism is simply the economic and social equality of the sexes, but it's far more than that. It's about historical power dynamics and the belief in reversing those. Which is problematic because power comes with responsibilities that Feminism largely ignores.
Fuck you man, I pee sitting down sometimes and I ain't no feminist. Sometimes I like to relax when I take a leak or ruminate or whatever...If you are really serious about standing in solidarity with the feminist cause, you should urinate sitting down.

The feminist movement is going nowhere because we are finding out most women don't actually want to be treated like men. What they wanted was to have the same opportunities men do, which we have made a huge amount of progress on. But you can't force women to go into STEM. You cant force them to be risk takers with their careers. You can't force them to not have babies. And you can't force them to take the initiative when it comes to dating and relationships.
The new feminist movement that I am seeing online is all about victimhood and crapping on other people's actions over Twitter, rather than working torwards anything related to gender equality. It needs a real purpose and a real agenda. My advice? Start giving a shit about the women in other countries who have to deal with real oppression. Imo white, middle class, liberal arts major feminists on Twitter are some of the most privileged people in the country. Its ironic they bring up that term.
Dear you,
Dead on. Just want to point out that not all feminists are the internet victim kind. But it certainly is the brand we see and hear most often. Waaaah a man sat too close to me on the train...Meanwhile in another country, women are stoned to death for falling in love.

feminists think that feminism will solve all their personal problems. and blame all of their own and the worlds problems on the patriarchy, sort of how conspiracy folk blame all the world problems on the illuminate or new world order(basically blaming everything on an invisible made up force).The feminist movement is going nowhere because we are finding out most women don't actually want to be treated like men.

These inequalities exist because women are comfortable with it.

I think it's pretty spot on.
There was a time period where feminism was about empowering women, and telling them that if they work hard, they can do everything a man can do. The goal was to make it easier for future generations of women to be seen as equals to men.
Now? Feminism is about creating a culture of fear and hatred towards men. Women are told that all men are rapists. They spread nonsense statistics and fabricate bullshit that brainwashes women into thinking they're victims for such heinous crimes as "catcalling" and "dress codes".
There is a legitimate culture of women who feel as though they are abused and victimized by "microaggressions". There is a legitimate culture of women would rather make men out to be the devil than to raise themselves up.
Feminism used to be about empowering women. Now it's about asking the government to chop off the legs of men to make things equal. It's about being offended at such minor bullshit.
Then they turn around and blame "the patriarchy". The Patriarchy, of course, being an umbrella that covers all things that these women are offended about. A way to blame every little personal issue on MEN instead of taking responsibility for themselves.
[Side note: This rant is about feminism in America and most of western culture, where feminism is not needed. I think that feminism is absolutely valid in places that could actually be described as Patriarchal societies.]
