An open response to SFU's feminist constituency... --- Some feminists got angry for GRW Toxic feminity talk

Someone should have reminded the Communication Graduate Caucus and the Gender, Sexuality and Women’s Studies Student Union of the adage 'Don't bring a spork to a gunfight'.

Under the "open letter" someone called Michael Steane has commented:

Anti-feminism is every bit as valid as feminism. Those who oppose feminism, and we include many women, have just as much right to express our views as you do [...]

To which CGCGSWSSU has replied:

That is false. If you oppose feminism (not simply CRITIQUE it, which we try to do ourselves, FYI) then you oppose gender equality. Feminism actually does address issues facing ALL genders, not just women, as SFU AMB seems to think.

You (hopefully) wouldn’t say that racism is just as valid as anti-racism.

That one comment there alone pretty much sums up what is so wrong with their entire worldview and politics.

"I am dangerous."

Epic.

The comments section for the "open letter" at SFU were quickly shut down after only ten entries.

This is even more devastating than the talk itself was.

Oh man, the emotion in

But feminism sure fuckin cares about men's issues doesn't it?

So intense

That was a no holds barred beatdown.

Karen, I know you read these threads so I hope you see this.

Thank you for your work and your time. Please, do not stop.

Karen is a gem, I'll have to save this to watch it later. Bet it'll be quite a show.
