Feminists = female supremacists

Saying that women are female supremacists for liking Everybody Loves Raymond is ridiculous. This kind of vitriolic language just makes us look bad as a group imo.

I didn't read this the whole way through as it didn't warrent reading. Starting off with 'A feminist should really be called >"Female Supremacist." We have erred in calling them "feminists". Or, at least, these terms should be used interchangeably' pretty much shows a lack of any objectivity. Certainly over on 2X we are more of an egalitarian community with an emphasis on women's rights, because issues are raised on a daily basis to do with how we are accepted in the world. Equally we would take the time and be considerate if an important aspect of men's rights was brought to light in front of us.

This kind of us vs. them mentality doesn't help anyone.

It would help if you link to specific speeches and books by mainstream feminists and point out their inconsistencies. Making one sided sweeping statements like these doesn't help anyone and alienates women who identify as feminists.

I used to think feminists were like that but then found out a female friend who identifies as feminist fully supports men's rights alongside women's. No matter what the group there are always variations. On the far end of the feminism scale no doubt some are female supremacists but then there are those on the other side like my friend who support men too.

This article is trash. I'm ashamed to have read it.

What and idiotic, brainless screed. The most insulting part:

"We must assume that western women are supremacists, and not ask for any favors. They ain't giving us a thing. When such a woman acts favorably, we can only ask, "What does she want?"

What he's essentially saying here is that it's safe to view every woman's motives as ulterior (without any evidence of course). This then gives him the license to turn off his empathy and to behave like an asshole on the presumption that if he doesn't, he's gonna get screwed over sooner or later, so his assholishness is merely preemptive.

I've seen this kind of psychology at work many times (always invoked without any evidence); like not giving to charity on the assumption that the money would end up in the pocket of some rich CEO and pay for his vacation or a new Mercedes.

A useful man has value. A "useless" man is nothing.

Wait, you're telling me people value useful people over useless ones? How unfair!
