Surely some other escapists have run into girls like this. The ones who will make statements like "I wish we lived in a world where all guys werent complete fuckfaces". Even if they aren't necessarily (stereotypically) feminist, this just totally drives me insane. I don't want to say it's sexist, because I almost think they don't mean literally "all guys" when it's said, but it certainly comes out that way. Like if I said "I wish all women would stop being such dumb bitches", I'd probably be assaulted for it.
How much does this annoy others, if it does?
Do women and yourself a favor, and don't go by teenage boys' definition of "Feminism." Feminism means
only that you want equality of the sexes.
Linkara from TGWTG has proudly proclaimed that he's a feminist multiple times. Unless you're particularly sexist yourself,
you should be a feminist.
I mean, using "Feminist" as a derogatory term is all fine and dandy within the internets, but in reality, it makes you look uneducated or childish.
That being said, I don't really
get this thread. Its pretty much, "I don't like girls who sometimes make negative generalizations about guys. You all dislike them too, correct? Either tell me how much you dislike them, or feel indifferent."
I'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who would be interested in advocating for a group defined only by their brash insults. I generally find the OP offensive, seeing as its only purpose is to advocate hate towards a loosely-defined group, with their only defining factor being their sex. However, because of the way its worded, there's no rational counter-argument to the OP's point.
If you want to talk about dealing with apparent double standards, make a thread about double standards as a whole. If you want to make a thread about dealing with specific people, I suggest going to the advice forums and trying to explain the situation in as unbiased a manner as possible. I'm sure whatever pushed you to making this thread in the first place could inspire many excellent thread topics, but creating asking for people to reinforce your feelings is the wrong way to try to deal with your problems.
