All those femenists don't seem to realise that the only reason it's trending is because they keep complaining about it...

I'm getting some confusion over who started the movement in the first place. Feminists or anti-feminists. The huffingtonpost seems to think it was Feminists that started it but I think they might be confused a bit. I don't know though.

"Feminism should be about fighting for equality, talking about the big issues like the gender pay gap, FGM, domestic violence and forced marriage."

 

I agree with that but at this point it's a bit late. I'm also not convinced those are the only issues they're focusing on even when they say so.

Same here. If it was started by 'anti feminists' I cant find anything under the deluge of responses to it.

But doesnt it seem counter intuitive to respond to something that dumb in the first place? By responding to a baseless claim about value via appearence, arent they themselves supplying valur to the concept of the importance of appearence over actual worth?

Exactly. The stupidity of those posting pictures of themselves is incredible.

 

Even if someone did claim feminists are ugly, which I have heard before, this reaction is the complete opposite of what should be done. Ignoring such a statement seems appropriate, ignorance like that should be ignored because based on the attitude behind the statement it isn't one of someone that wishes to understand a different point of view but rather one that wishes to blindly insult a group that they disagree with. Unfortunately in this case ignorance has been met with more ignorance by a bunch of self proclaimed feminists.

As a feminist I can say that these feminist-activists are ridiculous. Instead of trying to promote female equality, they show their boobs and try to steal the champions league cup. These ''measures'' just make feminists look like assholes and honestly have no real effect. If all these female organisations and activists groups gave money to educate women about their rights, many women would live in better conditions. But no they only think they do is to burn their bras in public! Such a great way to promote women's rights

So much this. I respect women and think everyone should be threated equally but some feminists are completely ridiculous. Also a lot of these "feminists" just want to make the point across that they think women are in fact superior to men, what is not the true purpose of feminism.

When I hear about extreme feminist groups I always think of PETA. They have some pretty good ideals like animals should be treated with love and respect, animals which are for consumption should live in humane conditions, people who torture or kill animals should be punished but what do they do to promote all these? They sue Nintendo for pokemon!!!!! For God's sake, it's just so ridiculous!!!

Feminism is fine.

 

But misandrists labeling themselves as feminists is not fine.

What about feminism that involves taking selfies and saying "look I'm not ugly"?

[Raiden]

What about aging porn stars very pro about porn but feminists as well?

Modern feminism, mang, but without the whole "focusing on gender equality" thing.

True.

It shouldn't even be called feminism anymore when they're doing things like this.
