"Feminism: the other F-word" : "It’s like a huge dam made of foreskin has been broken, making way for a flood of estrogen-infused water. Yuck, but cool."

Rebecca Kohler is a stand-up comic, writer, actor, gymnast, lawyer and chemist. (Some of this isn’t true.)

Judging from the quality of the article, I'd guess that she's neither a stand-up comic nor a writer.

She must be so happy that people continue take women's claims of victimhood just as seriously and with the same intellectual rigor as when they did lynching black men on the word of a woman.

Oh yeah I saw that when I picked up the Metro yesterday. Lel

What a time we’re living in! Powerful men are being held to … reasonable standards.

Yet any attempt to hold women to the simplest standards or lowest of bars is misogyny and sexism

It’s like a huge dam made of foreskin has been broken

Circumcision jokes, nice

I feel like women in the Western world should be throwing some kind of solemn party right now. Maybe with grey balloons and gluten-free vegan cupcakes?

I seriously hope that was a joke.

Fifty years ago, if a woman had gone to a reporter and said, “That radio host slapped me around and tried to choke me,” chances are he would have responded, “And?”

Rightly so.

But while these victories are big, important pieces of the pie, let’s not forget to keep an eye on the pie crumbs — the little pieces of sexist pastry that get stuck under our manicures on a day-to-day basis

"We need to micro - manage even the smallest aspects of societal behaviour in a sexually dismorphic species that we don't like..."

Like when male co-workers call me “Sweetheart” or “Dear”

"...I mean, we need something to complain about!"

Or the fact that women still make 74 per cent of what men make

"Pay-wage gap" has been debunked a thousand times over. Men make more on national average because they go into more important, powerful high-paying trades and professions that women aren't interested in. Not to mention maternity leave, house wifes/full-time mothers.

and have that money ripped from our hands twice as quickly at places such as the dry cleaner, where our shirts cost more to clean because they fall under the derogatory category of “blouses.

Shiggy to the max.

When last month’s Hollaback video (displaying a woman being berated with catcalls on the streets of New York City) was released, the backlash was frightening.

The woman is a curvy model who wore the most appealing, form fitting outfit she could find that was still in the realm of conservative, then proceeded to walk around an especially rowdy area for TEN HOURS. In this ten hours she solicited about 20 approaches from men, the majority of them being "Have a nice day.", "You look beautiful ma'am" and "Good morning". Of these 20 approaches there were 2 or 3 that you could even reasonably claim were "out there". But you want to act like this is some national crisis that oppresses women and strips them of their rights.

But when I’m walking alone at 10 p.m. and a total stranger yells, “Gimme some of that!” I feel less complimented, more afraid for my life.

How often does this actually happen to you? When? Because it certainly didn't occur in the 3 minutes of "berating" Shoshanna and her goons managed to scrape together from 10 hours of footage. You're just making shit up now.

If you look up feminist in the dictionary, all it says is: someone who believes in the political, economic and social equality of the sexes. It doesn’t say man-hater; it doesn’t say hairy woman

Falling back on the dictionary definition when exposed for what you really are, the age-old cop out.

It’s the feminists (whether they even know they’re feminists or not) that push these important issues forward like a car that’s run out of gas on the road.

Feminism; a car that's run out of gas on the road. Actually a pretty good analogy. That's what feminists do after all, strawman, nitpick and push "issues" that don't need solving.

Then pat themselves on the back with statements such as this. And, ofcourse, gluten-free vegan cupcake parties.

Without the feminists, Jian Ghomeshi wouldn’t be sharing a TV tray with his mom right now.

My heart goes out to Ghomeshi. Whether he did or didn't do what he's been accused of, it amazing to see the amount of lobbying power feminists have. Pulled this man from riches to rags just like that, having men banned from entire countries for involvement in pick up artistry. Nice.

Ofcourse, the real, severe and tangible issues men face against the legal, social and educational systems in America will never see the light of this lobbying power. Why would they? After all, feminism is only for equal rights.
