My girlfriend bought the "This is What a Feminist Looks Like" shirt. How do I convince her that she looks like an asshole?

Just wear an I'm with stupid T-Shirt every time she wears hers.

NUMBERS2357 · 2016-04-26T20:47:19+00:00

I'll go a different tack from everyone else - don't raise a fuss over her shirt. If the subject comes up, argue for your views, say why you find feminism alienating, and if you do a good job she might just take it off herself.

Nobody's perfect, decide whether it's worth it to be in a relationship with someone with differing views on this stuff, and if the answer is "yes", then it's "yes".

"Why did you waste money on that shirt? You look so much better in the other ones you already owned. That one looks silly."

Greg_W_Allan · 2016-04-26T21:13:44+00:00

Is it this one...

If so show her the media coverage...

JohnKimble111 · 2016-04-27T04:19:42+00:00

Why not explain to her how the T-shirt was made?

fingerboxes · 2016-04-27T01:36:12+00:00

Dude, why are you sticking your dick in crazy?

evileddy · 2016-04-26T20:42:41+00:00

Tell her "that's what an ex-girlfriend of mine looks like"

WaitingToBeBanned · 2016-04-26T21:14:36+00:00

Tell her that she should not wear that shirt, and then let her wear the shirt. At some point she will likely be called out or start shit and end up getting destroyed, in which case you just have to be supportive while saying "I told you so."

2016-04-27T05:21:30+00:00

Can I get one of those shirts with an arrow pointing at a butthole?

intensely_human · 2016-04-27T05:57:48+00:00

How do I convince her that she looks like an asshole?

Easy: you make a shirt with those words and a picture of an anus.

Wiiboy95 · 2016-04-27T09:17:17+00:00

Buy a meninist t-shirt or hoodie. If she gives you shit for it, ask her why it's ok for her to wear her t-shirt but not ok for you to wear yours

Lobstermansunion · 2016-04-27T00:48:38+00:00

Why would you date someone who belongs to a hate movement? Show some self-respect man. For goodness sakes.

Bad-Fido · 2016-04-26T21:00:44+00:00

Tell her it makes her look fat. Should do the trick.

lookslikewhom · 2016-04-26T20:27:25+00:00

Buy a "this is what a meninist looks like" shirt and wear put it on when she puts on hers.

Remind he that the shirt was probably made to sweat shop workers.

Just tell her how you feel about feminism versus humanism / egalitarianism.

ghebert001 · 2016-04-26T21:18:34+00:00

Get an "I'm With Stupid" shirt.

tallwheel · 2016-04-27T04:59:08+00:00

Have you spoken to each other about your views on gender before? Maybe that is a conversation that needs to happen should you choose to continue this relationship for much longer.

Pz5 · 2016-04-26T22:05:47+00:00

Might be time to consider finding a new girlfriend if your current one is a feminist.

2016-04-26T20:24:57+00:00

By dumping her =P

Seriously though, I have no fucking idea...those feminists are brainwashed.

mikesteane · 2016-04-26T22:40:09+00:00

Seriously mate, why would you date a feminist? Are you desperate?

DavidByron2 · 2016-04-26T22:42:28+00:00

How do we convince you that dating a feminist is a bad idea?

Wagnersh · 2016-04-27T00:44:05+00:00

Leave her.

hhkirn · 2016-04-26T22:45:08+00:00

I think it only matters if she prescribes to the more hateful version of feminism, or has a more classical approach to it.

ThePigmanAgain · 2016-04-26T22:25:06+00:00

You are a black man dating a woman who wears a white hood. Think about it.

aesopstortoise · 2016-04-26T20:55:43+00:00

Say nothing, just buy one of those shirts that says, 'I'm with this idiot'.

deez_nuts_730 · 2016-04-26T20:27:55+00:00

Well, using the term asshole probably wont get you very far...

TheDude41 · 2016-04-27T03:40:46+00:00

Dump her.

coke501 · 2016-04-26T21:14:50+00:00

It's rather nice, isn't it. The shirt tells two stories for the price of one.

feminists can be hot (assuming your girlfriend is hot)
hot people can be delusional uncritical idiots (again, assuming your girlfriend is hot, the rest is implied)

Show her my post. If it doesn't change her mind I cannot help you

2016-04-27T11:37:51+00:00

Ask her why she hates you.

When she responds that she doesn't hate you, point out why feminists hate men.

Use video on youtube to support your case that Feminists hate men.

Rasalom72 · 2016-04-27T14:32:42+00:00

This is a great way to introduce her to what feminism is actually about instead of what some women THINK it's about.

Then after you have that conversation, she will either agree with you and ditch the shirt because it's offensive, or you will dump her ass as she is not worth your time.

Give her the chance to learn and grow before you break it off with her. If, when shown the facts, she still refuses to see the light, you can count yourself lucky that you dodged a bullet.

Demonhunter115 · 2016-04-27T20:54:30+00:00

Depends, is she one of those crazy "everything is sexist" feminist or a somewhat rational one?

samuelk · 2016-04-28T08:19:43+00:00

Boy that flag sure is huge and red. I mean, that's one of the largest, reddest flags I've ever heard of. One could say that a red flag that large could mean there is one way to fix your problem. Run. Run as fast as you can.

Leinadro · 2016-04-26T20:53:55+00:00

Well there is a chance that she isnt one of those kinds of feminists.

I would say not get bent out of shape over a shirt much less end a relationship.

Find out what her views amd stances are. Those are much better indicatora of what kind of feminist she is.

italianlady13 · 2016-04-27T02:55:56+00:00

Burn the shirt

yummyluckycharms · 2016-04-27T05:16:21+00:00

The thirst is real apparently.....

matthew_lane · 2016-04-27T05:58:19+00:00

Get yourself a shirt that reads "This is what a meninist looks like."

An then when she comments on your appearance as both an asshole & an embarrassment she doesn't want to be seen with in public, you can explain to her that the feeling is neutral.

matthew_lane · 2016-04-27T06:00:08+00:00

Oh crap, I've just had a great idea for a shirt. On the front it says "this is what a feminist looks like", but on the back is a picture of a morbidly obese, ugly, rainbow coloured hair, wearing problem glasses land whale, screaming "I am intolerant to reality"
