When "good" feminists do nothing

The highlight for me.

Pointing out feminist bigotry is useless with feminists of any variety. Your response from a “radical” will be fuck off, your response from a “moderate” will be “you don’t understand feminism,” and your response from a “good feminist” will be “none of the feminists I know are like that.”

Great article.

Well put.

As I've said many times before:

"Why is it when you tell me Not All Feminists Are Like That, you only tell me... not your fellow feminists? Why don't you stand up to them, instead of simply defending them from me?"

This is why I don't call myself a feminist, although I support equal treatment (opportunities, rights, etc, whatever's biologically possible) for all genders.

The word feminism to me will always imply women first.

They say Women were never oppressed? Man, what a clown show that site is. Even the MRA's article on wikipedia acknowledges women have been treated like dirt for centuries.

Here's a fun part that will get removed soon enough because it disrupts your bonehead narrative:

In Pakistan under the Hudood Ordinance, a man or woman having sex outside of marriage could be found guilty of zina and be executed. Prior to the passage of the Women's Protection Bill in 2006, men could not be accused of the rape of a woman unless she had four male witnesses. The ordinances also decreed that man's testimony was equal to that of two women and that in compensation cases, the value of a man's life was to be twice that of a woman's.

tl;dr: Move to Pakistan, where you can officially be twice as right as a woman. MRA colony in Pakistan. Do it.

Warren Farrell is former feminist though. Yeah the few good ones need to speak up against radical feminism leaders.
