The sexual threats against Emma Watson are an attack on every woman

[William Tell]

'She for he' sounds good

The post I was replying to was one that gave the impression that since the feminist Emma Watson said a few token words about the struggles me face. That somehow that signified a shift in their agenda. I replied telling you that despite the few words about men, feminism and this re-branded version is still about doing stuff for women. This is still are not coming anything close to the dictionary definition of feminism which is the fight for equal rights for both men and women.

If I am still missing your point, I apologize, but please do tell me what was your original point.

But who the hell is Emma Stone?

Was my follow up question.

I actually know who Emma Watson is, though. Although I have never seen any of her movies.

(Relevance: go in to about the 5:19 mark and she does "All I Do Is Win," which is the soundtrack to one of the more awesome Ron Paul videos.)

I agree that the term "feminism" is quite ambiguous nowadays. I mean, you have everyone from the street-walking hooker, the cashier at the 7-11, the lonely housewife, the factory worker, the man-hating lesbian, the porn star who gets gang-banged on camera, the elementary school teacher, the RN, to the erudite college professor all claiming to be a feminist.

What is it? It offers no clear definition.

With that said: you sound like you've taken on a victim mentality. To claim that men are somehow a 'victim' of women or feminism is laughable. I agree that the educational system sucks- there is no reason why a kid who either will end up becoming a construction worker or mechanic or an electrician or a plumber being forced into a curriculum that preps them for higher education, and favors those with higher verbal IQs. That's not the fault of feminism, though.

Are there no vo-tech schools anymore? I think the Germans have it right.

Thank gawd I grew up in an era when men were men and women were woman. Thanks mom and dad for setting a good example!

Emma Peel I remember..

I dont quite understand the problem with diverse professionals and people calling them feminists. I hope more people adhered to the dictionary definition of feminism. But to your second paragraph, I refer to that to show that men and women are both victims depending of the area being discussed but movement feminism wants to elevate the problems faced by women as somehow greater than that men face.

Some of the problems men and women face cannot be solved by govt or society, they are just problem that arise because of human nature. Women will always be handicapped by the fact that they are the child bearers, the same goes for men when there aren't enough space in the life boat of a sinking ship. Tinker with this dynamic in favor of one gender and you hurt the others and this is why I oppose movement feminism.

I hate the headline but I'll be sure to let my wife know she's been attacked.

I didn't really have much of a problem with Emma Watson's speech. She talked about realities that some and all of us live in.

I meant that some self-proclaimed feminists wouldn't consider the woman who has five guys stuffing a penis into every opening of her body as a real feminist, even though she may view herself as one. Some wouldn't consider a woman who chooses a traditional role in life as one either. Feminists can't even agree on a definition.

We do have equal rights though. There is nothing stopping one from attempting to achieve something in this country. However, as you alluded to, there are biological differences between the sexes, and there are genetic differences between individuals that prevent a truly egalitarian society.

There is no way I could ever become an NBA player, for example. I am just not athletic or fast enough for it. That doesn't mean I couldn't do something to become involved in the organization though.

Men still hold most of the institutional power and wealth in this country. In fact, this is the case for the entire globe.

Some of the problems men and women face cannot be solved by govt or society, they are just problem that arise because of human nature.

I don't think we're at a stage in the West where a (collective) gender faces a 'crisis'. I think it's more about economic class than anything else.

Didn't anyone watch this video? The guy on the right tried to explain how men are victims of women rapists- even the host (who apparently supported his cause) couldn't contain his laughter.

But my point is that they DO agree on a definition.
The "Attack on Women" article is, as far as I can tell, common knowledge among feminists on FB and Twitter & such.
The writers who write on feminism choose to focus on a hoax rather than on real issues. The article I posted actually admits that the whole thing is a hoax, and goes on to say how it doesn't matter, it's still horrible.

I had an interesting conversation with several feminists on FB about this. Some of them bothered to look up the story about the OK police chief, and found some sycophantic article claiming that he's being taken out of context.
But none of them even knew that was even a thing. All feminists know what's going on with Watson - none of them know how likely it is to get raped by a cop and how little recourse there will be afterward.

The reason I don't take feminism seriously is because the group is generally too busy talking about teenage pranksters to recognize that women actually get raped by actual patriarchs and other actual patriarchs cover it up.

Emma Peel I remember..

She kicks ass on Game of Thrones.

Rand Paul would say we are all individuals and we all have a right to defend ourselves.

My point was that the feminist 'movement' isn't homogenized- it's fragmented and has become high school cliquey- just like a subculture. There are groups out there who genuinely care about womens rights and are focused on real issues though. You can't discount them.

Should any of us—females included—be shocked that the (so-called) feminist movement moralizes a romance-story playwright who is the proud owner of three failed marriages; an unethical journalist, who after reading her husband notes, etc., then finally putting two-and-two together, publicly exposed her first husband’s source (Deep Throat) in the Watergate scandal; who believes that institutions of higher education aught to be tasked with getting its students onboard with forwarding social agendas, be it statism, globalism, or feminism; and who championed Hilary Clinton—herself fired for corruption pertaining to Watergate, Nora Ephron?

Perhaps, it is true what they say, when it comes to feminism, fervid is misery made by its company?

So when I disagree with Hilary Clinton, I do so only because I am a misogynist, never may it be the case that my disagreement is because she is incorrect, negligent, misguided, deceitful, or whatnot? So what does it make a female that disagrees with Hilary Clinton, a traitorous bitch-whore, dishonest to the advancing cause of all other females, past, present, and future?

Is this sounding familiar yet or am I merely channeling spiteful tinges of Obama-tact? (Except in his case I would be labeled not a misogynist, but a racist.)

What about males who are threatened with battery or death; being financially neutered; or with having their families robbed, raped, and killed; or having photos of their drug abuse or infidelities publicly released unless they start toeing the line?

So what is the real issue here that females prefer to be equally threatened with battery and death or occupational termination—just as their male counterparts—than with sexual perversion or depravity by those that disagree with their agenda?

In the timeless words of Kevin Spacey (Lloyd) in “The Ref”:

“You know what I'm going to get you for Christmas, Mom? A big wooden cross, so that every time you feel unappreciated for your sacrifices, you can climb on up and nail yourself to it.”
