One of the things I hate about reading /r/mensrights is all the horridly written 'manifestos' feminists write that we then link to.

Sure sure... the evil patriarchy is a giant conspiracy targeting pseudo-activist bisexual white female teenagers at universities spurred by their professors in their gender-studies class who will later complain in OWS gatherings that the 1% is keeping them from finding a job, not their useless sociology degree they feel-gooded their way through getting. Later when posting from their iPad about their difficult lives, we'll have to listen to them explain why only upper-class white women are capable of saving the sisterhood from the scourge of male oppression.

Oh. HER.

Yeah, she believes that footballers are all rapists and agreed with a comment along the lines of "all men should be castrated".

Inferiority complex?

The text is the eternal self-victimization, that is, the excuse they give to themselves to feel inferior (it's always an external cause, of course).

The poem at the foot rationalizes the self-compensation for such feeling of "external oppression": "no matter what you have done, i am still here. and it has made me dangerous, and wise.". Wow, I'm shaking in fear, but I like the romantic style (seriously).

Now look at the sign on the picture. It says: "Sisterhood is powerful"... Really?

Well, if they are so powerful, why do they feel the need to tell it to everyone in big letters? You don't go out there telling the people how intelligent, brilliant, successful and powerful you are; you just know it. Period ...unless it's not true.

That's how the inferiority complex works. Those who feel -unconsciously- inferior, try to persuade themselves and the entire world that they are actually terrific, in an exaggerate way. It's a well know paradox.

I quote from wikipedia:

The term "superiority complex", in everyday usage, refers to an overly high opinion of oneself. In psychology, it refers to the unrealistic and exaggerated belief that one is better than others. In contrast, inferiority complex sufferers mimic this as a way to compensate for unconscious feelings of low self-esteem or inadequacy.

Those exhibiting the superiority complex have a self-image of supremacy. Those with superiority complexes may garner a negative image in those around them, as they are not concerned with the opinions of others about themselves. This is responsible for the paradox in which those with an inferiority complex are the ones who present themselves in the best light possible; while those with a superiority complex may not attempt to make themselves look good.

No, I'm not saying that all feminists have inferiority complex. Some feminists have it, and that post is IMO a perfect example case.

What an absolute loon. Her every sentence is a gross distortion or an out and out lie.
