Many young feminists are also pagan & witchraft followers & got into it through shows like Buffy & Angel that targeted dumb, outcast women. Feminism & paganism/witchcraft has strong links. Sadly, mass media panders to the most gullible & briefly makes their views seem more acceptable than they are

Any support for the 'dumb' part, or are you just a bigot to people who enjoy shows that you don't like?

Oh, come on! Next thing you know, you'll be screaming, "Witch! Witch!" and bringing out the torches and pitchforks.

Buffys a great fucking show.

Feminism is more of a religion than Wicca.

No Anita, watching a series about witchcraft isn't promoting witchcraft or validating witchcraft.

Freedom of religion means people can be pagan if thry want. I like a pluralistic society, myself.

This is not a men's rights issue.

All that was pointed out was a factual link. The historical convergence between Wiccanism, Paganism and feminism that has always been there and widely acknowledged. These religions are different from others in their level of rejection of the notion of logic, of science and of facts. These are criticisms men's rights protesters often level against feminists. The shows I mentioned are merely to illustrate that once again, BOTH feminism, and those religions associated with it are on the rise. Tv shows are know to appeal to the dumbest people generally. The convergence of all three things then backs up many criticisms of feminists often voiced on this forum. THAT is why it is relevant and why I posted it. Rather than being upset that your favorite show was criticised, try stepping beyond your ego and face up to the facts within this. Being a buffy fan doesnt make you dumb. Never said it did. But it does highlight the shift in culture pandering to many who are already dumb and actively protest against the very notion of science. And the religions mentioned and the ones in those shows have strong historic links to feminism that are on the rise again. Those are all indisputable facts. Vote down if you want but it only betrays feminist posters or the same kind of inability to separate emotion from logic.

I don't care about paganism and witchcraft.

All religions are against logic, as MarcoVincenzo said.

Also the connection is constructed. Shows with/about paganism have nothing to do with people believing in paganism.

How about we focus on mens rights? I couldn't care less what feminists believe in, since it doesn't affect MRM at all.

The point is that modern media trends popularising feminism actually reveal the stupidity of it and how it is only done to sell to the most gullible. This is shown by the common links between mass media feminism & the linked rise in popularity of witchcraft & paganism in shows like those mentioned & many modern ones, along with imagery used by bands like Florence & The Machine. This has all happened before during the last rise of feminism, unsurprisingly. It doesnt say much for the smarts or logicality of feminists that many are supporters of a religion that is literally against logic & science, & that most of them are statistically white, middle class, and relatively young. Pretty damning.
