This was one of the top posts in r/feminism. It made me want to punch a wall.

Yeahhh... A little vocal Fry.

no one thinks women are weak or malleable as much as feminists do.

zyk0s · 2012-08-15T22:38:03+00:00

Isn't it actually sad that some women think like that? I mean, how can you possibly find happiness in life if you think of yourself as some weak creature who's always being oppressed, to the point that you question every aspect of your life as being shaped by some sort of abstract evil?

A lot of cults get followers with exactly this process: make them doubt everything they feel and like, and make them feel terrible, then cheer them back up with how great the cult is. This develops feelings of attachment, profoundly anchors the cult vs. the rest of the world to feelings of joy and distrust respectively, and establishes a sort of emotional shield, which gets stronger the more its challenged. Feminism is a cult, no doubt about it.

OuiCrudites · 2012-08-15T23:41:44+00:00

Essentially, this is Feminists saying "Women are complete twits."

I do not believe women are twits, which is one of the main reasons I am not a feminist.

HolyCounsel · 2012-08-15T23:19:12+00:00

Glad I am not the only one who raged at that post. I am struck by the fact that there is nowhere in Reddit where such thoughts can be openly challenged and discussed. All of the Feminist subreddits are firmly opposed to any contradiction of their ideology.

I have lost all interest in trying to reason with the diehard Feminists. Leave them to their sad little worlds - the MRM has bigger fish to Fry.

yourfaceyourass · 2012-08-15T23:53:57+00:00

Diehard feminists are some of the biggest prudes, IMO. I mean, they see anything even mildly sexual as threatening and offensive. That's gotta be miserable, to fear sex and sexuality. I remember this one lady who said that any and all penetrative sex, consensual or not, is an act of violence against the receiver, and that any enjoyment or pleasure the receiver gets is an illusion.

I do not like being told that I don't really like the things I like, and that I've been "conditioned" into liking them. (Female, BTW.)

nwz123 · 2012-08-16T00:00:54+00:00

Well, there you have it folks: Feminist discourse objectifies women. no, your thoughts are not your own, you're not an agent that's capable of making choices free from the ideas/thoughts/beliefs of other people, and you certainly can't change unless others change for you.

lethalweapon100 · 2012-08-16T00:23:51+00:00

Mod is probably going to say this: no memes allowed. Sorry. Not trolling. That happened to me so what I did was write a self post about it and why it offended me, etc

rocketman0739 · 2012-08-16T00:27:47+00:00

What does "conditioned to like" even mean? That you like something because of the context you've been brought up in? That's pretty much everything anyone likes, besides fulfilling animal imperatives (food, sex, etc.). I like science fiction; was I conditioned into liking it by the sciencearchist society? It would be silly to say that.

tforge13 · 2012-08-16T00:47:48+00:00

I...what? Are there really people who think like this?

2012-08-16T03:03:59+00:00

the only reason you're browsing that subreddit is for an excuse to get angry...
stop it
you obviously can't handle it

obscure123456789 · 2012-08-16T03:47:09+00:00

Is this a joke? A little self deprecating satire?

georgedonnelly · 2012-08-16T00:33:10+00:00

It's all too stereotypical for a post on this subreddit to talk about hitting walls out of frustration from things women say or do. I think we can do better.

picopallasi · 2012-08-16T01:19:06+00:00

As a woman... That is so fucking stupid. I'm sorry for the bullshit.

TracyMorganFreeman · 2012-08-16T01:27:09+00:00

So feminism is gaslighting everyone?

HardAsValyrianSteel · 2012-08-16T02:55:26+00:00

People who haven't figured out how to think for themselves, in all aspects of life, shouldn't be allowed to participate in society.

philosarapter · 2012-08-16T03:13:27+00:00

No it just goes to show how disillusioned many of them are. If you can't tell the difference between reality and what you've been told, then you are probably brainwashed.

jianadaren1 · 2012-08-16T03:39:33+00:00

COGNITIVE DISSONANCE!

2012-08-16T03:40:58+00:00

if feminists are "like ttly strong u guise" why do they have to keep saying women are weak?

2012-08-16T04:02:37+00:00

Support for feminism is all a product of the patriarchy. We all conspired to herd womyn into a ridiculously illogical and contradictory mindset so they would never gain any traction in their effort to destroy the patriarchy. mwahahaha. ha. ha.

2012-08-16T01:27:48+00:00

Pretty much everything anyone likes or dislikes has been conditioned in them by the world around them, and their brain trying to map that space. You actually think you or anyone is in control of their own interests and desires? How quaint.

lt_hindu · 2012-08-16T01:34:19+00:00

why describe to something you obviously hate. Why bother?

You want to give in to your anger.. goooooood. Feast upon the raw emotions give in to the power... of the dawwwwwkkssssssside

2012-08-16T01:34:57+00:00

I think (and I hope!) this is meant to be sarcastic. Can you link to the original r/feminism post? I would like to see the comments.

McFeely_Smackup · 2012-08-16T02:25:32+00:00

if I'm to believe what feminism has told me, women are weak minded, weak quilted, helpless, and generally pitiful creatures that need someone to take care of them...just not a man.

Willravel · 2012-08-16T03:14:53+00:00

/r/feminism is a bit of a wasteland. Between asshole trolls, infighting, and terrible moderation, the subreddit really is collapsing. There are other feminist subreddits around that are far better.

picopallasi · 2012-08-16T03:50:32+00:00

How can this be at all serious? There is no difference between this and someone mocking feminism. Irony shares the same grave as intellectual depth, and in their stead is tragic absurdity.

otakuman · 2012-08-16T01:58:08+00:00

I just realized that Feminism has become a religion. They have their demons, and their salvation plan. And anyone who dares contradict them is an agent of ~~Satan~~ The Patriarchy.

zoobiezoob · 2012-08-16T01:15:27+00:00

haha, bitches think what we tell them to think!

Aavagadrro · 2012-08-16T01:40:41+00:00

That makes you want to punch a wall? Interesting. Somehow I just dont see the issue with the pic, which might be because it is so silly and retarded that it cant be serious. Sure someone might take it seriously, but if anyone doesnt know themselves well enough to know what they actually like or not and why, well they have plenty of growing up to do.

Sorry, I just see other things that are more important to get worked up over.

ignatiusloyola · 2012-08-16T04:37:36+00:00

Technically this is a meme submission. I originally approved it earlier and shouldn't have. My mistake was pointed out to me and it has now been removed.

r/MRMemes has been created for submissions like this.

Eryemil · 2012-08-16T00:41:50+00:00

Reported for stupid memes. Please don't destroy this subreddit like my beloved r/atheism.
