I'm pretty sure that's satire.

Yes, I agree. It's got to be satire.

i can't tell whether or not that's satire, but it is ludicrous.. i think it's bad to compare this sort of thing to actual feminism. feminism itself is a very important movement, in the east as well as the west

That is likely satire, however I have seen some really bad examples that aren't satirical.

There is a fashion for use pop physiology terms like 'safe space', 'trigger warning', 'micro-aggression' in social justice even when the is no real efficacy an of course that are misused deliberately.

And so, as the flower is a flowering of the field, I feel myself as a personing- a manning- a peopling of the whole universe. –In other words, I, like everything else in the universe, seem to be a center… a sort of vortex, at which the whole energy of the universe realizes itself- comes alive… an aperture through which the whole universe is conscious of itself. In other words, I go with it as a center to a circumference.”~ Alan Watts

Third wave feminism makes me shake my head. What ever happened to second wave feminists, the ones who actually supported the idea that men and women are EQUAL?

Not feminism in general, but real "Third Wave Feminism" is apparently impossible to distinguish from a parody of it.

Manspreading is not a crime in NYC. It's a violation for which you might get a ticket for taking up two seats on a subway train.

So glad I don't live in NYC. Besides, I hate really huge cities like that! Men should boycott the subways.

It's obnoxious to take up two seats on a train.

Hardly anybody gets a ticket for it, anyway.

It is obnoxious. How am I supposed to sit as far from others as possible if people are splayed out all over the place?
