I disagree that feminists in general want "us" to define these encounters as rape, but I will agree that a vocal segment of the latest "feminist" wave want people to do so.

    a vocal segment of the latest "feminist" wave

I prefer the term misandrist or more colloquially feminazi to discriminate between real feminists.

That feels kind of Superweaponish

But who decides who's a real feminist and who's a misandrist? Feminism in general is against men, so I would say that to be a feminist is to be a misandrist. The "good" feminists, if they even exist, are the minority.

This is flat out not even remotely true. Feminism is about gender equality, for women, men, and people outside of the gender binary.

That's what feminists usually say, but their actions speak differently. When feminists actually start caring about equality in the real world, I'm going to stop considering them hypocrites.

Yeah, the title is shit. But the text is an important response to a worrying phenomenon.

Yeah, pretty much exactly what I was expressing, but you know, apparently I'm a racist and don't understand . . .

OftenBen  ·  3478 days ago  ·  link  ·  

What is your definition of racism? The word is getting thrown around a lot and I don't think we're all using it the same way.

humanodon  ·  3478 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Oh, just being sardonic and self-referential, that's all

I mean, I was genuinely asking, but ok.
