Are Feminists always angry?

You'll have to enlighten me. My own experience was that until things loosened up, sex was downright disappointing. If I wash too aggressively and dry the skin too much, I lose about half the pleasure. I would have assumed that the difference is large.

You probably don't want to feel like a victim, or dwell on it, but is that a reason to let this happen to boys who can't say no?



They have good reason to, maybe more than they realize. I hear a lot of frustration from WRAs about body-image. As someone who wasn't mutilated as an infant, sex is less visual and more tactile for me than it seems to be for a lot of men. I can't blame men for judging women by their looks if that's the only thing that they aren't too maimed to enjoy.

As far as how it compares to type I FGM, let's use the same standard of "profound impact". I had a bunch of Somali friends (all girls), and while I didn't ask, they implied that some of them had had the procedure. All of them still liked having boyfriends and all of the things that usually come with that, so did it have a more "profound impact" on their lives then circumcision has on boys' lives?

By the way, circumcision does kill:

People in the US go to jail for clit-snipping (including women), but this is classified as a protected religious practice.



No joke. I'd never heard of A Voice For Men until I read this:

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/02/11 ... blacklist/

Nothing on that site comes close to the advocacy of genocide on that still-unblocked WRA Twit-ter feed.



Perhaps they shoud start by making sure that they're using a non-bigoted antivirus. Given the recent dust-up involving the gay-marriage politics of Mozilla's departed CEO, I don't think that it's too much to ask that people stop rewarding unethical organizations.



I'm going to invoke your "difference in magnitude" standard here. Saying 'I don't care anymore' isn't on the same level as saying 'let's kill men'.

Some choice bits from the latter:

"Stabbing is not my preferred method for #killallmen, TBH. Too messy."

"Archery early tomorrow morning. Preparing for when it’s time to #killallmen."

"Not endorsing that we #killallmen, (some of my best friends, etc), but reducing men to 1 in 4 would solve many of Society's problems."

Some friend.

"I was thinking of foeticide, rather than bumping off 3/4 of the current male population. But then again I've got a little list ..."

When women feel comfortable saying that with their normal Twitter handles, and their face-pics decorating the thread, then it's not just a teensy little minority. They at least have a lot of support and acceptance.

Can you answer a few questions please.

1. Which books written by mainstream feminists have you read?

2. Do you really believe that all feminists hold a female supremacist position? I ask because the site you linked seems to.

3. Are you aware that your "activism" comes off as trollish and anti-woman?

what do you mean by mainstream feminists?

23% of women and 26% of men call themselves feminists. I recently read a book called who stole feminism



the only feminists i support are sex positive feminists who are not female supremacists. other feminists hold female supremacists views where they label men as evil oppressors and women victims and need to be coddled like children. the site is about feminists threatening people who disagree with them.




feminist is not synonymous with woman. equating women with feminists takes agency away from women who don't identify themselves as feminists

You do realize that feminism in its basic bare sense is simply women standing up for their basic human rights, such as right for safety, right to learn and create, right to be free.

What you and other (mostly) Americans mean by feminism is another story and I have no idea what you mean by it. True, there are various groups with different agendas, but that doesn't mean much.

In the core every woman is a feminist just as every human is a humanist. And every decent man is a feminist

You show me a woman who isnt a feminist. Is she for an equal education? Equal pay? Right not to be sold out for marriage when you are 6yo? For a freedom to go down the street while dressed like a slut?

What are you talking about, sephardic-male? What kind of feminism do you have in mind? You should state your definition of the specific ideology you are talking about at the start of every discussion.

Oh so men had to invent a new word to justify their own hatred and bigotry

OK, but why can't a person whine about stuff? I too don't want to be invited for a coffee in a lift! That does sound quite horrible

seph, do you agree that there's a widespread cultural sexism against women? or do you thing that they compare in magnitude with those faced by men and that does not impact an individual greatly or is just something everyone has to deal with?

the culture of sexism is directed at men not women in the developed world
