Professional feminists' of Poland meet-up [631]
Oh great another woman has come on here to state how offended she is. You're offended? So what?
I didn't say I was offended. The shame belongs to those touting illogical rubbish which is gravitating around their own confirmation bias. So you can keep your label of "offended" and also keep your straw man effigies of "offended women" coming out in their droves.
There is no point in arguing specifics with people who when confronted with widely accepted accepted ideas and stats by the vast majority of sociologists, in response give out rather dubious statistics for rather dubious sources. In this way it's like trying to argue with creationists. It doesn't matter what evidence you show. It is simply ignored as people have invested too much ego and emotion into it.
But feminists stepped over the line when they decided to start undermining the place of males in society instead of just defending female's. If it wasn't for that, I'd most likely be supportive of the movement but it was hijacked a long time ago and is wildly off-course.
As for this: as with every social, or political movements there are radicals in every corner. My question to you is what kind of feminist are you (as well as others) addressing here?
Social feminism?
Marxist feminism?
Sex positive feminism?
Reformist feminism?
I-feminism?
Radical Feminism?
Cultural feminism?
Difference feminism?
Liberal feminism>
Because all these groups have vastly different ideas of what feminism is, and how to tackle inequality, some of whom are also taking on angles of politics, gender, sexuality and race.
FWIW, I think modern radical feminists have done a hell of a lot of damage to the egalitarianism of feminist movement. As with most movements, the ones who shout the most get the most attention (and usually these people come from a biased position to start with). Other feminists are actively trying to repair the damage caused by these screaming idiots, but I don't actually expect the nuances and the history to be discussed here - partly because no one here seems to be bothered about reading any of the vast streams of literature on the subject - relying solely on "feelings" but mainly because of the vast lack of cranial ability of the most prominent "screamers" on this forum, and their inability to tell the difference between good and bad research.
For those interested, here's a link describing the different socio-political aspects of the feminist movement. Which ones do you agree with?
Knock yourselves out. Or don't.
