Only if you willingly misinterpret what feminism is to make your arguments against it way easier. What's that called again?

No. Advocating for the rights of Women or Men is not an ideology. That's like saying Civil Rights's was an ideology. Men have certain disadvantages and inequalities under the law, therefore Men's Rights Advocates. Women have certain disadvantages and inequalities under the law, therefore Women's Rights Advocates.

You could vote for me but I'm too indifferent to register my candidacy.

Goofle the hair dresser will send you back with twice the amount of split ends.

Yeah, I do prefer some stuff as opposed to some other stuff, but I'm not going to act like it's inherently more righteous or meaningful or something.

You know there is a difference between Feminism and simply advocating for Women's rights. Why on Earth you pretend otherwise is beyond me.

There it is again.

fem·i·nism
ˈfeməˌnizəm/
noun
the advocacy of women's rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men.

Has anyone ever read this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCUM_Manifesto

For whatever reason it's always intrigued me. Lots of talk on whether it was satire or not, I just think it looks like it would be funny.

But if I'm the only real person then why care about governing figments of my imagination? And now I'm back to square one. Vote B.

No, that including social and economic equality is hugely different to human rights. You know this, it doesn't need to be explained. But I am anyway.

But then I'd just be torturing myself. Which I advocate. Vote B (typing out my full screen name isn't worth the effort).

Frownland 11-11-2016 02:41 PM

Social rights are most definitely human rights dude. Why is economic equality not a right? Doesn't everyone deserve equal opportunities? Explain yourself to a five year old who's clearly too dense to understand what you're throwing down.

The way you talk about feminism sounds like you read one anti feminism website and declared your research finished.

oh stop attacking someone over their political views like you do with so called "cry bullies". GTFO.

It annoys you when people bully others for having different political views but it's okay in your books to bully people that have different views from you and call them cry bullies right?

You are the reason that I hate the anti-PC crowd. You guys whine just as much as the PC crowd about the PC crowd being surprise surprise too PC.

I'm somewhere in the middle but lean slightly towards to PC side of things. I don't get why people need to intentionally offend people. It's like you are looking for a fight but when the fight comes to your door you want to whine about Freedom of Speech. If you are going to say offensive shit then deal with the consequences of saying offensive shit. Take your lumps.

Same. It's the extremes on either side that piss me off. I don't support Radical Feminists that want all men to do etc.

Why would you pretend that Feminists and RadFems are one in the same?

They are further down the spectrum. You are just deciding that you would rather lump them together.

Goofle 11-11-2016 02:46 PM

I've made my point and you either disagree or don't understand. Let's get on with our lives.

I don't know the band without Google but I imagine that it's on the dark web.

I'm not bullying. I'm telling you to lighten up and understand that not everyone sees the world the same way you do.

Complaining =/ directly insulting someone

grindy 11-12-2016 12:33 AM

You're right, Chula. That whole thing was pretty ****ed up.
I hadn't seen the whole conversation when I posted. Sorry for not reacting sooner.
Now calm down everybody.

Over the counter homeopathic medicine will now have to abide by the same standards as conventional medicine in that it has to provide evidence for its claims. This doesn't apply to homeopathic practitioners, only OTC supplements. This is really excellent news.
