What a load of post modern crap you just puked out🤦🏼

Fingers to snap?

+Cassidy Renee You're kind of missing her point though... obviously that's what feminism should be, and this poem isn't saying that all people who call themselves feminists or the idea of feminism must inherently be exclusive, but as a movement it has been drastically dismissive of non-white women, non-cis women, etc., even today.

Yes we know you don't understand this because you're not a women of color, you don't experience what she does

It's a poorly constructed argument, IMO. Has nothing to do with my or her personal experience.

i may have just missed the meaning, thank you for your opinions. :) but the only one i disagree with is the one saying that feminism is a hate group, because it obviously is not.

It was originally created for the support of only women...when that was necessary. (which it obviously isn't anymore in America and some other countries) hence why it's called feminism. Modern day feminism is supportive of everyone regardless of age, sex, nationality, and gender. Of course there are still some that consider themselves feminists that don't actually support everyone but their a joke in themselves.

I see where ur coming from, but they sound bad because they r only talking about the bad things that happen. If they spoke of good things they wouldnt get their point across.

that's very true! I personally think feminism as a whole in the world has a lot of work to do! it's still so new to so many people that we all see it a bit different at the moment. My perception is probably a little different than the next person. we have no real grasp at what it all contains yet even though we can identify that we fight for equality, but I learn everyday a little bit more what that actually means. and progress is made!

That's the point I think

because she deserves it

+Zeo Khan probably bc they are completely different people and have done completely different things, the only thing they have in common is that they sing

Beyoncé hasn't stolen others' cultures on multiple occasions. no one is shaming her for her VMAs performance, that's slut shaming and that's wrong. it's her body she can do what she wants. but her racist views and cultural appropriation are wrong and need to stop. that's why there was more focus on miley.

well it depends on the person and/or their experiences

+william sixsmith maybe she's talking about men on the street, because, regardless of you being nice and respectful, if you walk near a woman, specially if it's dark and she's alone, she'll be afraid of you, because she's not able to tell if you're going to do something to her or not or maybe she had awful experiences with men, i can't speak for her

+william sixsmith A comfortable world is not a world that inspires change.

+william sixsmith I'm gonna try and break it down for you bud, hopefully this is a good explanation (This was the way my sister broke it down for me when I was first really getting into feminism, this was like in middle school). I'm 19, male, lean build, 5'10", 155 lbs, enjoy nerdy stuff, and most importantly I consider myself a feminist. Now then, if I were to meet you on a subway or the street (that was fairly scarce of people) and I were to engage you in conversation, as a young man you would not see much of a threat in another guy talking to you casually, I mean we're only 3 years apart even if it would seem somewhat shady or strange that this random man is trying to make conversation, you would have a sort of SECURITY (that's the keyword) that if I were to try anything "funny" like assault you or attack you, you would be able to fight back sufficiently and get away from me or even retaliate back and teach me a less by giving me a good bash. Now let's change the perspective with a minor detail, you're a women (or girl seeing as you're 16) and the same thing happens. I, stranger, approach you on the street or subway with barely any people around and make a comment to you which could be the most innocent comment but it doesn't matter, because you don't know me or my motives. Just with that advancement you are on edge and put on alert, because there was no reason for me to talk to you and if I were to try something "funny" the likelihood of you getting away from me is unlikely, you don't have the same SECURITY you previously had as a guy. If I were to make an attempt to hit on you, you being a 16 year old girl and me being a 19 year old man (EW SUPER CREEPY), and you did not take up my offer I could get violent for all you know. So you can either do 2 things 1. Say no to the guy and hope things don't escalate to anything and that he's a decent human being and will say "Oh, sorry I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable, have a good day", but there is a risk with that because I might be completely fucking insane and get violent or 2. Play along and keep flirting with me so you will be able to keep me from getting out of hand if I were crazy (and it's sad to say but most women when put in this situation they choose this option because they are scared that I could be a rapist/disgust degenerate/piece of human garbage, which is a very rational fear in my book). Girls are told about rape and assault and how prevalent it is and it scares girls because its a very real thing and it genuinely could happen at anytime (Every 107 seconds in fact). It doesn't matter that you are a nice guy or that you know for a fact that you would never hurt a person, because when you meet a stranger anywhere you don't know who they are, what they're like, how violent they can become, or how sick in the head they might be, that being said it is scaled 100 times for girls because of how common rape is (99% or all rape is male on female) and how many guys are uneducated and don't know what sexual assault or rape actually is or that they wold rape someone if they didn't realize it was rape (there's an article that came out about a year ago talking about this I'll put at the end if you aren't super bored or annoyed by my giant response, sorry btw). What this all surmises to is that me and you have it easier because we're guys. That's a fact, we don't have an active fear of being raped (less than 1%), because we aren't considered prime targets by rapists. Listen, you sound like a good kid from what you wrote and you remind me of me, just remember that you can go for a jog at night or near dusk, with your headphones on, wearing any clothes that you want, and don't have to be constantly looking over your shoulder or carry pepper spray or a rape whistle or have one of those keying things that are sorta like brass knuckles to protect yourself if someone assaults you. Sorry again for how long this is. (www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/01/09/college-men-commit-rape-study_n_6445510.html)

You say it's for everyone but at the end of the day you only want white straight cis women to be equal to white straight cis men. You can tell most when they talk about the day women woman were finally aloud to vote. It's celebrated everywhere but what's not said is it was the day white women were aloud to vote. You can tell it's only for them when they talk about the wage gap but only talk about how they make money less than men what about how a black female makes less money than you or a Latina makes less money than you. You can tell when they praise Miley Cyrus but don't take in consideration on how she uses black bodies as a prop, how she uses black culture as a prop. You can tell it's only for them when you bring up the issues that poc women go through and they say stop pitting women against each other.

+Chenelle Smith I agree. I say this to feminists I meet, "feminism isnt enough"
