Nope. She has us go through literature and pick apart all the shortcomings and faults of men and shows us how, in the novels we read, women really have all the power. Even when it makes no sense.
That's...not feminism? Why would a feminist theorist claim that females secretly have all the power when the keystone of feminism is that women are disempowered?

Either we're being trolled and you're pulling stuff out of your ass, or your teacher wasn't a feminist at all.
But she calls it a "feminist lens", which is the problem. As already stated: I have no problem with the book definition of feminism (the striving and advocating for the equality of men and women from the perspective that women are currently, unjustly looked down upon by or given less rights than men). I have a problem with idiots who practice something they think is "feminism" when it is indeed sexism. That's why I used quotes around the word feminism in my original reply (it just got too bothersome to keep it up), because they call themselves feminists when really they're not.

Okay, all jokes aside. I think Feminists should stop worrying about change (they can't change anything) and give me more head. Seriously, women need to be giving me dome more often. Its healthy for society.
>Implying anyone would touch you


Shaka how many women has this selfless white knighting gotten you?

None. That's why he's here: To validate his purpose in life. Unfortunately for him, no matter how many women's asses he kisses online, they'll never sleep with him. Talk about sexist, we all know he's only defending them because internally he's simply trying to get laid. Hell, I'd argue getting laid the is the driving factor behind what all men do, seeing how it's hardwired into our brains, ya know that whole thing about surviving as a species.
This made me laugh so hard because of how wrong you are.

Jay acts like she's better than everyone else simply because she's a chick.
I hope she chokes to death.

Hell of a back-pedal there, but okay, I'll take it.

I don't know Jay. As much as a bigoted, close minded misogynist I am I sure seem to be doing fine with the opposite gender.

Maybe because in some absurd reality your extreme Leftist attitude towards everything is just as asinine as the extreme Rightist agenda you all preach against?

I'll leave this with saying that sometimes you have to step outside of the echo chamber and experience both actual sides of things.

Call me crazy but maybe if you were more moderate people would get along with you more.

Feminists want female domination, over males. Feminism =/= equality.
[citation needed]
Implying anecdotal evidence and/or anything said without a citation is not credible or with listening to.

"Feminists actually want this and not that"
"Do you have a source to back that up?"
"HE DOESN'T NEED ONE"

Whatever you say.
LOL! Nice caps to make me seem uneducated on and mad about the subject at hand. That's a pretty cool thing you did.

If we disagree, it's nothing personal, opinions are opinions.
Antagonizing me to build a false sense of worth is so damn cute.

I'm a card-carrying conservative, as in, I am literally a member of my country's conservative party and have voted for them at every election at which I have ever been eligible to vote, ever.

But okay.

17 pages and nothing was resolved. Nobody knows what reasoning is. Everyone just argues, there is obviously not a solution so move on.

Honestly, this must be a joke. Child, listen, stop trying to defend yourself because clearly you are incapable of it. The only idiot in this thread is yourself, and trust me, it is obvious. So, how about you do as I asked earlier and log off, mommy and daddy wouldn't want you staying up this late.

Yes, Jay. But Conservatism in Australia isn't exactly the same as what we have in the US. You're an economic conservative, I understand that and no matter how much you tell me I will never care because I'm always referring to your stances on social issues.

Ever since I got a pick on how you felt about this kind of stuff my sole purpose was to subtly say things that would tick you off because it was politically incorrect or offensive.

You need to take a break from /r/SRS, Gawker, and those Tumblr social justice blogs because to the rest of the world at large they're a joke.

I'm all for equality across the board in a social aspect, but your brand of social justice is the brand nobody likes.

There is a certain point of tolerance that should never be reached.

And Raptard has left the building folks.

Refunds and information for anger management classes are to the left.

This is what ticks me off the most. Feminist groups argue that it's unfair that the average salary for a women is lower than that of a man, but their choice of employment would reveal why.

Nice! Classic misrepresentation of someone's intellect or intelligence from someone who doesn't know them apart from a few posts of theirs they read on an internet forum. Classic, man. Wish I thought of it.

That's how life works. You argue, they argue back, and eventually someone grabs a piece of wood and bashes the other's head in. Only the strong one's opinion is left over, and is the only opinion that ever mattered. Betas and white knights just need to accept this.

I mean, feminists are just people who want equal rights for women and men alike.


No, modern feminists want women to have more rights than men.
Sadly, I must agree with this a lot. Many feminists hate males just for being males. Not all of them are bad though. I'm all for equal rights.

I have a Tumblr for the sole purpose of following lingerie blogs. Social justice maven right here, folks.

I think I made a reddit account back when Chris Kluwe did an AMA?

Gawker is the shiz, yo.

And you don't subtly tick me off. I find your bigotry repugnant because bigotry is repugnant. Some day you will realise that the world isn't being cleverly trolled by your hatefulness - most people just think you're hateful. It's sad that you think you've got us all and we're just not in on the joke yet. Maybe one day you'll learn. I doubt it, but what can I say? I'm an optimist.

I like the bashing over the head thing.

"Life is constantly fleeting from your grasp even from the very day it's bestowed upon you, but the shadow of death is always there, waiting for its chance to take you away."

"Even though many may not think so, ignorance and innocence are one and the same. The only difference is that one sounds nicer."

"I once knew a man who spent his entire life contemplating where we go after our death....it's a shame he realized it a second too late to tell anyone."

Women that want equal rights? I accept wholeheartedly. Everyone should have the same rights and opportunities. Women that try to place themselves above men? I disagree with, and from what i've seen and heard, that's how the most vocal ones tend to be. Granted, i'm too lazy to find actually examples, so you're free to not believe me if you wish.

I never even said I "got you guise lol 10/606969 trollololol wolo".

Nobody said that.

What I was saying was the only reason I posted the way I did in your social justice crusades was to show just how over sensitive and whiney you can be when something outside your realm of political correctness is said.

Take a chill pill, hun.
