History of Feminism
Related: About this forumAdventures with a Liberal Sexist Dude
So I keep getting comments on my blog from a dude. I wont approve those comments, because this dude doesnt deserve the backlinks, but the pith of his dudely comments were too good not to share. Ill bet you didnt know I am singlehandedly responsible for ruining feminism! OH THE HUMANITY.
Dude:
.you are a sexist. Indeed, youre a bigot. You are absolutely happy to constantly mock and belittle 50% of the population because they happen to have been born with genitalia that you personally feel uncomfortable with.
Dude must be moonlighting as the Mighty Carnac, because he has some awesome mind-reading capabilities. Hes able to tell what makes me happy, as well as which genitalia I personally feel uncomfortable with! Also, dude considers me a sexist for finding dude behavior mockworthy! Dudes must never be laughed at. This is the Law of Dudes. Particularly, no one must ever call dudes names. Anyone who does so is a misandrist and a bigot. Because the poor dudes are oppressed, dontchaknow. What chance have dudes ever really had in this world of vicious dude-mocking feminists?
Have you actually ever met a man? Have you spoken to a man? Have you got the faintest idea what it is like to be man? I very much doubt you have any male friends, because as soon as you start with your ranting misandry they will be backing off towards the bushes.
I personally have never met a man in my life. I live a completely man-free existence. Also, I have no idea what being a man is like. I didnt grow up in a society where everything, from newspapers to novels to geology degrees from Cambridge, is about the dudely experience , told from the dudely point of view. Thats because Im from outer space.
Had I grown up anywhere on earth, Id be saturated with dude culture so much so that it would take me years to figure out what I felt and I thought and why my experience is different from that of dudes. And then Id spend more years trying to figure out why nothing in earthly culture seemed to speak to me or my experience, only that of dudes. What a massive time waster. In space we dont really have these problems, owing to the very low population of dudes.
So men who look at page 3 are eyeball-raping the models? So all women dress like they do because men force them to? So a man cant be a feminist because, by accident of birth, hes automatically a patriarchal oppressor?

Can we get a peer-reviewed study to determine exactly how many people are leaving the cause of feminism because of me? Fifty sounds like a suspiciously round number. Maybe theyre all marching off in pre-arranged ranks? Like soldiers?
I love hearing from liberals that feminists who disagree with objectification or porn or prostitution are 'hurting the movement'... Yeah, kinda like how far lefties are driving people out of the democratic party with their socialized medicine and their abortion on demand talk.

"Have you ever actually met a man?"
ROFL. How would one go about managing that?
I become suspicious as soon as I hear or see the word "misandry" anywhere. Has anyone seen that word used legitimately?
