Meh... people like this are out there to stir up trouble. They see crack in the wall where is isn't one and goes into detail about every little spec of wall that had been slightly chipped off it. It's like advertising. They make a problem and somehow their product make it better.
"Tired of picking up pennies that fall down the toilet, buy your bogbag today"
"Tired of every man in the entire cosmos standing behind you with a whip making you wash dishes? Buy a submachine-gun and KILL THEM ALL"
People like this are dangerous in influential positions and when you see the support they get, I have to say it's a little unnerving.

I've never even seen Firefly but just by reading that blog I can already tell that the show is probably nothing like that. This is one of the things I hate most in the world. The crazy feminists who think everything is an attempt to put them down.
Please explain to me how Mass Effect is sexist! I just don't see it.Gestapo Hunter said:
Note: People will always read too much into stupid shit and find something to ***** about.
Also; I didn't fight and die just so some people could claim their superiority. I died for my country to support the ideal of equality! Why can't we all just get along?
What makes me sick is how there are people agreeing with her. It's like she has a fan-base or something.
I am so glad to see people make a distinction between actual feminism, and plain misandry.
Honestly. Her presumptious definition of rape is so offensive I'm literally clawing at my face in frustration.

Right. See one might jokingly say that this woman needs to "get laid". But I'd disagree. I say she needs to FECK OFF. I'm fairly convinced that only powerful hallucinogens can birth an article like that, and if she won't share she has no place on the internet.
You are totally right. I'm not the type to start screaming that books/films/songs/what-have-you are racist/sexist or whatever, but Twilight? Beyond any doubt that whole thing is misogynistic. It being SMeyers Mary-Sue fantasy makes that even more terrifying.Vrex360 said:
Though, honestly, I could deal with that much stupidity if it wasn't for the fact that millions of little girls (and even older women) hold up the Edward/Bella dymnamic as the standard for what love and relationships are supposed to be. Not to mention that it's essentially teaching little girls that it's perfectly okay to become near-(if not outright) suicidal when your first high school boyfriend breaks up with you. There aren't words to describe how... unnerving that is.
But on topic, that woman is just ridiculous. I haven't seen Firefly, but I really don't see how a woman calling the captain she's working with "sir" is sexist in any way. She seems like she's just a man hater and makes anyone that is legitimately a feminist look bad with her extreme views and rantings.
To be honest, any woman who started talking to me like that would get this response:
So I don't know whether she just aggravates all men and extrapolates that everyone else goes through the same thing, or is just a bit unhinged.
Also - Do you people realise how hard that first image was to find? The feminists must have tried to get rid of it... Silly feminists, this is the internet.

Yeah, I saw that too, which is just its own brand of frustrating and at the same time makes you want to sigh, because there's no rational argument you can make because it isn't being received by a rational mind, and anything you say will be interpreted as in support of rape or the pro-male agenda. ~Sigh~Necator15 said:
YES! I, too, love being a woman; dressing up, buying shoes, hell I even know how to knit. And I also love guns and fishing and video games and four-wheelers and I love the dichotomy of being both. What feminists like her seem to forget is that we don't have to give up our femininity to achieve equality. It's like the annoying women who say that mothers who choose to stay home with their children, or choose to be housewives are setting women back. No. No they are not. Because as long as it is their choice then I applaud them for doing one of the hardest jobs I can think of.PixieFace said:
I just don't get feminism. Seems like sometimes, it's sexist to open/hold a door for a woman because "she can do it HERSELF goddamnit" and by doing her a favor you are somehow implying that she can't.
But on the other hand, it's sometimes sexist to treat women just like they're men, as in the "sir" thing. If she was male,she he would still be calling Mal "sir", and no one would have a problem with it. But if a woman is forced to call a man "sir", even if the reasons behind it have nothing to do with gender, it's sexist.
Looks like we have ourselves a conundrum. We can't treat women like men because they're women, yet we can't treat women differently then men because they deserve equality.
Then again, all of the above observations are based the ramblings of a crazy *****, so......yeah.

This reminds me of a poster that was put up in my tutor room today "Feminism is the radical notion that women are people" and as soon as I saw it I said "Fuck off, Feminism is the radical notion that women are not equal to men but somehow better than everyone else", I got a load of shit for that, but seeing this, I regret nothing.
I haven't had a chance to watch Firefly, although I've been meaning to, so I obviously can't judge the veracity of her analysis of it. However, I do find it funny that she criticized the woman calling her superior "sir" though, shows how brilliant she is...
In my freshmen year of college, I took a rhetoric course (somehow that's required for nat-sci majors, go figure...) by a self-described feminist. My initial reaction was less than enthusiastic, mostly because of my preconceived notion that all feminists are indeed like the idiot who wrote the article. No, turns out they are not. She lectured on sexuality and gender identity, equality (gender and race), bias, and all the good stuff. At no point was it ever about strict empowerment or rantings against a supposed male dominated world, but rather a perspective of equality, about choices, about the changes that have occurred in society. She made it clear that things like holding a door open for a woman is by no means belittling, but rather plain common courtesy, which is something that our lovely author does not seem to grasp. It turned out to be one of my favourite classes, and an A I was proud of.
Anyway, whatever she may claim, this idiot is not a feminist, and nor is she educated. While her article may be well written, she was unable to keep her personal bias out of the analysis, which is less than amateur level. It's quite pathetic how many people agree with her.
Sorry if this is incoherent, I've got my last final for the day in...15min.
