Woman Tries To Make Fun Of This Guy’s Take On Modern Feminism, And His Response Goes Viral

I have no trouble with women that don't want to breasfeed. The beguinnings are not easy and you don't always find support in the maternity, plus mothers who have to work often stop because drawing your milk is pretty akward in your office. Honestly, if your not confortable doing it, then it's no use. I have a friend who really meet her baby when she just stop struggling to breasfeed him and just switch to baby bottle. The important is to find your way to bond with your baby. My man does not breastfeed and he bonds just well with our kids ;p . But to the mother that told her daughter that I was feeding my baby like cow does because I did not respect myself, I answered that not only I was respecting myself but that I also taught my kids to respect people instead of being judgemental bit****. And to the girl that brought the slavery thing, she's been roast by our gest and i'm still laughing about her stupid comment.

Yet, I think her problem was more about her boyfriend being unable to stop himself to stare at my tits full of stretch marks than about women being oppresed by their milk

She wants gender equality, which is the ultimate feminist goal. She doesn't approve of "feminists" harassing other women for their choices, especially when it disregards health, which is also ultimately far more appropriate, within the objective of feminism, than harassment. Lastly, she admits that she can't know the person's inner motivation, and she respect that. That's pretty smack in the middle of logical and reasonable feminism.

You say that like it's an insult. Like it should shame her into changing her ideas or something. Her ideas are her ideas and she has her reasons for them. If they don't fit your idea of feminism well whoopti-effing-do.

Laury M. thanks so much, you expressed exactly what I had in mind! Me. I do agree with this statement. It's even nicer for me personally because of the 'Polish Grandmother' part :D. Maybe what he says about catcalling is too extreme for me, but on the whole he makes a very good point. 'Nazi Poland' was the only mistake I found and wanted to clarify. Sergio- nice day to you too :)

Considering most Americans would be unable to point Poland on a map, whether the disrespect is meant or not, the effect stays the same: give the impression that Polish people, as a nation, agreed to the ideology, which is extremely offensive considering how much they suffered from it. The specification IS necessary, and denying it is actually a pretty important disrespect as well. The guy doesn't seem to have any trouble writing words at length, so he could AT LEAST be *that* accurate when actually praising his Polish grandmother.

People love to hunt for tiny flaws in statements they disagree with.

She doesn't have to have an input on the situation if she doesn't want to. Her correction is valid, and not a "grammar" issue, but a historical one. The distinction is a nation participating in genocide, versus a nation that suffered from said genocide.

*It is a lack of respect when women do it, it is a lack of respect when MEN do it

Grow a penis, no penis no voice on how i sit with it.

Come on ! If you can ride a bike, you can join your knees, don't be stupid !

Then you stand. Nobody has to suffer for your balls and dick but you. Also funny how I never see guys negotiating manspreading when they're sitting next to one another. It's almost as if they respected the other men's space more than they do women's... wait

Then do as you must with them and don't yap about your balls on the internet.

Beatrice: first you teach men that women are not objects and don't exist for their entertainment, and you make damn sure they teach fellow men that this shit is not okay, because they don't listen to people whose opinions they don't value (i.e. women). The last thing that's going to work is ignoring them, especially when that alone can potentially get women killed. It's good that it's technically illegal, but is there anyone enforcing it? Jilltdcatlady: That comparison makes absolutely no sense. Just because you don't understand an argument, doesn't mean that throwing nonsense at it will invalidate it. A better one would be, "you can lower lung cancer rates (women being raped and killed) by eradicating smoking (men treating women like objects)". Both require education because just banning it does relatively little.

I absolutely agree with you, Laury M.: "There is no way to win, other than eradicating catcalling." I would also love to hear your suggestions about how to eradicate catcalling. *Note: I live in Brazil, where catcalling is already considered by law as sexual harassment.

I think I love you, Laury.

Huh? Your argument is invalid... As if smoking can be stopped by eliminating fire.

That's true. Yeah the radical ones are so annoying and get offended with everything. Had one of them tell me off for making a period joke. She said I should be ashamed of calling myself a woman for making such jokes. What the...? And yes, they totally are hurting the movement. They're giving the actual feminists a really bad name. Quite sad actually

Do take care to give some consideration to what they're saying though, from time to time. They're not necessarily entirely wrong, but more often than not their approach is so aggressive and skewed that the message gets distorted and well, no one like to get things shoved down their throats. I would fight very hard for the right to make period jokes, however, because they're so terrible, and men make dick jokes all the time.

Please, please stop using the word 'feminazis'. It's used against vocal feminists indiscriminately of their level of radicalism, and even then, you're likening activists to people who actually did seize power and murdered millions of people. You're doing a disservice to feminism and being fucking offensive to the people who actually suffered under nazism. You might not agree with radical feminists, and that is your right, but please show a modicum of respect for the actual victims of extreme nationalism.

Please pay attention to who uses that term. Why aren't men who think they are "above all women" called nazis?

Re: just because YOU think they're insignificant, and any number of your friends, it doesn't mean that they are. It doesn't mean that the people to which they matter are 'weak', especially when you don't have a fucking clue of what goes on in their lives. And the 'victim card' is actual stapled on people's forehead when they make inconvenient demands, so that's on people like you, not on feminists.

This message is for Me (not me, the user Me). Feminists don't "enjoy" playing the victim card; it's the radical ones who do that. There's a difference between feminists, and radical feminists. Agnes Jekyll has stated it pretty clearly.

Me., if you feel insulted that I'm calling you out for using an expression that literally demeans other people's experience when they feel insignificant to you... again, that's on you.

Laura M. The last part of that second statement did not seem like an argument, but an illogical way to insult me. I know nothing I say or you say will change any opinions. I know someone out there will try to criticize me for writing this passage. Goodbye.

Oh yes I have experienced such things before, and so have many of my friends. And yes, serious issues need to be addressed, but the little ones can be easily shrugged off or dealed with without creating overeacting histeria on the internet. Anyone from either gender can behave wrongly, but it's almost always feminists who enjoy playing the victim card.

Pretty much. So many demands by feminists through history have been dismissed as petty concern, AND as hysterical reactions (I mean, the root of that word, literally...!). Just because we have more legal rights nowadays, doesn't mean we've actually achieved equality. In so many ways, actually, the issues are more pervasive, because they're less blatant and obvious. Like freezing in offices where the temperature is set to have men comfortable, and feeling uncomfortable, anxious or physically threatened when a man gets into your personal space because of your gender.

It's true that it happens. Like Agnes says, however, it happens in such a small ratio compared to actual rapes. A lot of men don't actually understand what the basic definitions of sexual assault and rape are, and even more worryingly too many women don't either. The vast majority of women will experience sexual assault and/or harassment, but we've become so used to it that it just seems so... normal. So they don't talk. And far too often, when they do, it backfires on THEM. Yes, radical feminists often misplace their fight as gender against gender when it should be all genders against the problematic systems, but said system are largely skewed in favour of men, even with the downsides, and when we try to explain it, they refuse to listen.

Then stop making broad statements about feminists. As for your claims about women unfairly persecuting men--yes, it does happen, and it's part of the gender inequality that needs to be addressed and feminists are trying to change. By the way, less than 1% of all rape charges are false. 10% of rapes are reported. That doesn't mean men aren't unjustly charged, and when they are, much horrible damage is done.

I'm sure he'd be happy to have you. There are few women who would.
