Don't take that the wrong way. I'm all for gender equality. It's the "but...but..but I'm a girl" attitude that generally pisses me off, especially coming from somebody who identifies herself as a strong independent woman. Feminism should be for equality, not special privileges for a pouting, innocent, fragile woman that she claimed she would act like. You can't have both.

Yeah but that's not feminism. That's being a twat.

Maybe I have encountered too many twats claiming they are feminist. My glasses may be clouded with twat fog.

Also, great usage of twat. I feel that word doesn't get used as often as it should.

Thanks for defending me, but this is wrongheaded and I'm not sure how you get from point A to point B.

ETA: After clarification, I guess I disagree with you less than I thought. I pretty much agree with WWWP.

Yeah, I see where my wording came off ignorant. I'll clarify.

I don't agree with specific women who identify themselves as strong and independent women yet ask for special handouts and privileges because they're women. My mistake was referring to these assh*les as the mass majority of feminists.

I've seen a lot of them in the city recently. It makes me mad.

is using your looks to get something you want really that horrible?

note: this has nothing to do with feminism/equality, just a general question.

For free coffee? No. Shooting a teenager in the back with a pistol, which is what she was referring too...yes.

I don't see his post as a criticism of feminism, but an observation that a certain portion of society will hear about feminism, and then hear about a woman asking for both equality and special privileges, and think it's all bull****. All thanks to one twat whose feminism is more about self interest than equality.
