Question for Bluepill: How can any normal, well adjusted person have a romantic, sexual, or even platonic relationship with a feminist when even 'clapping hands' together is 'triggering' for them?

I'm more concerned about the ones who think only men can be abusive and who call false accusations of rape against men an educational experience.

RedZucchina · 2015-03-26T06:27:24+00:00

The problem comes from the generalization. I'm a feminist and I assure you I haven't denied anyone their right to clap (except that time during a funeral). Neither have the feminists I know. Can you prove the majority of feminists are so oversensitive?

PS: Using tumblr is cheating.

Yeah, TRP is celebrating that one, and actually for good reason.

One real gem among the comments.

Cookies, coloring books, bubbles, Play-Doh, calming music, pillows, blankets, and a video of puppies. No, I am not describing a kindergarten classroom.

I am describing something that is apparently necessary for adult females who cannot handle the stress of people talking about rape culture maybe potentially not being a real thing."

Or another.

It's funny, a hundred years ago women were thought of as weak, fragile creatures easily triggered by their emotions. Now, without any irony, they themselves are again promoting the same viewpoint that they so desperately fought to overcome. What's next, fainting couches and smelling salts? Talk about going full circle.

So the debate thing there, I guess I'm of the opinion that bad ideas are fought with good ideas, and not ignoring them. That's why sometimes I'll debate an absurd red piller, not because I'm going to convince them of anything, but because the conversation in and of itself maybe worth having. But, sometimes if I'm given a good debate, with some points wrong and some points right, it's good to think about that, but generally I'm of the Atheist Experience logic of, even if the person is a poe or the person is just clueless and dumb, the debate is worth having for others.

For instance, this line "Professor Kipnis had criticized — O.K., ridiculed — what she called the sexual paranoia pervading campus life." She's wrong. Sexual assault issues have been ignored for far too long, and people are finally talking about it, granted I haven't read it yet, but just that idea seems false. But making people condemn her like the school, I feel it's best for people to call her out on it, make their own write up, post that around, and spread around that idea. One thing I hate is when people act racist, sexist, whatever and then fall back on, it's free speech, they feel that their speech only goes one way and can't be criticized, so instead of stopping them, either try to educate them, or if they're just stuck in their ways, ridicule their bullshit ideas.

Now, since I'm gonna turn this into a damn text wall, I know someone who was triggered by banging on a car door and I saw them react very poorly to that, due to them being in an abusive relationship before. The person was almost hit by another car and I got mad and wanted to yell at them (I was in the car with the person in question). I specifically stopped doing that as I was asked not to. So like, the first article, people asked nicely not to have clapping, and they obliged. Some people are triggered by different things, PTSD was brought up earlier and maybe PTSD victims feel they can't ask for stuff like that.

why does trp blame everything feminists do on feminism itself? this is just being an empathetic and understanding human being and wanting to avoid making people potentially uncomfortable. caring about others is not a feminist only behavior. it may be a little weird to go to this extent, but it's an easy request- it's not like you lose anything from doing jazz hands instead of clapping. but oh, you know, those ~craaazy~ feminists and their caring about others' feelings!

BrewPounder · 2015-03-26T06:26:44+00:00

That brand of feminism is completely ridicules, sexist, unappealing and unreasonable. It's pretty much the female equivalent of TRP.

strawwwwwwwwwwwwwwww (wo)mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

TRPACC · 2015-03-26T12:03:16+00:00

I can understand that.

I had ptsd so bad that I would startle when there were sudden noises.

I worked in a place and every birth day balloons would be blown up and then burst, even though I expected the noise and knew when they were coming, I went into fight or flight and there was nothing I could do about it.

The minority of feminist women that have made these complaints, have ptsd.

fzed1199 · 2015-03-26T20:58:24+00:00

Feminists are women without discipline and a stable male role model whether it be a father or a s/o. So they make up for that lack of stability with hostility and aggression. A good example is ghetto single mothers. All they need is dominant male, and has the ability to turn a mouth foaming feminist into a submissive woman.

BlitheCynic · 2015-03-26T22:06:09+00:00

I thought what ended up being the case here was that one of the speakers is autistic and had a hard time with loud noises. It's not that everyone at the conference is afraid of clapping - they were just making a note to people that a particular person would prefer something quieter and they were just trying to respect that without singling the person out. I don't think the fact that most modern feminists bend over backward to be extremely accommodating to certain people's self-professed triggers (a separate issue) necessarily means that they all have unusual anxieties.

wombatinaburrow · 2015-03-26T11:22:03+00:00

You can't have a relationship with a veteran. The sound of choppers or a car backfiring is triggering for them and you'd never be able to go out anywhere. See how dumb that sort of shit sounds?

VermiciousKnidzz · 2015-03-26T16:00:25+00:00

im feminist, my girlfriends feminist, luckily most of my friends identify as feminist.

i've never actually met anyone in real life that claims to be triggered by anything, but if anyone were to ask me to refrain from doing something for the sake of making their day easier/happier, i'd go with it no problem.

pandorarosie · 2015-03-26T09:37:09+00:00

I am convinced feminism has a honey pot. A RPW honey pot.

thereddespair · 2015-03-26T15:30:52+00:00

Wait, I thought most BPs are women

AnnoyingSeaAnt · 2015-03-26T15:44:08+00:00

Yeah , feminism as promoted by academism/media (aka SJW school) is crazy as fuck.

Horseshoe theory at his finest. Now TRP and SJW both agree , Women ARE children who need to be protected from the big bad world by school staff/traditional manly men.

TRP is even the sanest here: "I said women are children, but I don't actually want to fuck overgrown toddlers. Even us want a little more spine in women"

sigmayogi · 2015-03-27T18:15:38+00:00

You can't have a balanced relationship with feminist. Feminism by its very label is pedestaling pussy. It's plain old supremacy based on biology.

No other way to make me get up and walk away from a perfectly fine female than her espousing feminist views. Instant boner killer.

taiboworks · 2015-03-26T14:11:37+00:00

red pill needs a whole safe space/subreddit to be protected from people that might 'trigger' them.

RandallWho · 2015-03-26T15:36:39+00:00

BPers are feminists and argue from a feminist perspective.

i would really disagree with that, I m blue pill (i guess) and while there are some aspect of feminism that i agree with there are a lot of aspects i dont.

them triggered, they need to flee to these specially designated rooms to 'detrigger'

that is really over board if you ask me...but this would be an example of feminism that i dont agree with and has gone to far.

As for your question

How can any...

Its very, very difficult. And will work if both people are willing to put in a lot of work. For the women that means dealing with the root causes of the trigger.

I really dont think any BP swallows feminism lock stock and barrel. Hell i would wager there are more men who swallows TRP deeper then BP thats swallow feminism.
