This will be fun..

"You might actually have something to talk about"

If its not about how much she hates my gender. And if its not about Men's Rights, respectfully.

"There is no presumption that you should pay"

Except alimony.

"You might get laid on the first date"

And then end up in court the next day.

"Unlikely shotgun wedding scenario in your future"

No, but possibly pepper spray wedding.

"No crying"

Except when she talks about feminism.

"No drama"

Except when she talks about feminism.

I think she forgot to mention how educated she must be because she is a feminist.

rottingchrist · 2012-08-14T07:04:08+00:00

LOL

I am not sure there is more to say.

Damn, I made the mistake to click on a link to read this:

"A friend was just rehashing her Saturday night with a group of girls, and she started talking about this guy, who she wasn’t initially attracted to, that started hitting on her in a bar. I think she was all geared up to tell him she was not interested when he did something that got her attention: he bought her drinks — for her and her friend."

yep, pay more, get more, I guess if a guy offers to pay her drink, her friends drink and her rent he is really thinking about how to make her situation better.

There is no presumption that you should pay

You can offer. She may accept. She may also offer to go “dutch.” Better yet, she might pick up the check. Remember, feminists are educated women. They sort of see through the antiquated courting rituals of an era in which the highest ambition women had was to marry rich.

I laughed. Thanks for that.

You might actually have something to talk about Feminists are, by definition, educated women. They also tend to read, travel, play golf, hold interesting job

So basically they called any woman who doesn't call herself a feminist as stupid and boring.

There we go with educated women again

You might get laid on the first date Again, feminists are educated women. Sex is not one of the many wiles they must use to land a permanent address and membership in a junior league club. They can pay for that life — should they want it — all by themselves. So, sex is, well, just sex.

And again

Unlikely shotgun wedding scenario in your future Have I already mentioned that feminists are educated women? Safe sex is part of the package.

Seriously? You keep saying feminists are educated but you only know 1 word to describe intelligence

No crying Not only is there no crying in baseball, but there also is no crying in feminism. If you are being insensitive, shy, or stupid, they are more likely to bail than wail.

That's a lie, I've seen many feminists cry when they know it's in a situation that gives them emotional control

No drama Feminists don’t run with insipid, gossip-obsessed, desperate housewives. So, you aren’t likely to be swarmed by insipid, bored, friends who want to inspect and survey your every move.

And again calling any woman who isn't a feminist stupid and boring

Basically the writer is one of the "I'm not like other girls" type of people, you shouldn't have to put other people down just to make yourself more appealing.

Since when did feminists play golf? I dunno, but I thought everyone regarded golf as a boring old fart "sport" only the rich and powerful men played. No place for a woman tsk tsk. Don't forget that glass ceiling!

I'm sad a Philosophy professor wrote this. No part of the word Feminism defines them as educated... or women for that matter. I know it is a writer pitching the idea of appreciating Feminism to straight men but aren't the plethora of assumptions that come with that part of the problem Feminism is supposed to be fighting?

Forget face palm, after reading that dribble, my first thought was headdesk

If "10 Reasons why you should date me" doesn't sound like the pinnacle of romantic desperation, I don't what does.

thisissonecessary · 2012-08-14T16:05:40+00:00

Considering the number of times she said "Feminists are educated women," I feel that this is not so much an article about why you should date women, but just her trying to show how much better feminists are than everyone else. After all, they are educated women.

Sebatron · 2012-08-14T16:30:59+00:00

Feminists are, by definition, educated women.

I don't remember reading that in the dictionary. I would've been [fine] if she just left it at 'likely to be educated'. Also, she left out male feminists because they're male.

Very nicely dealt with here: http://www.avoiceformen.com/women/why-not-date-a-feminist/
