Feminism is like anti-obedience school for dogs, explains Men’s Rights Redditor

David Futrelle,

WOW! So I guess women are more like “pets” to him than people. How nice. What a sexist pig. I wonder how this misogynist feels about the type of slavery we used to have in the South. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s as racist as he is sexist, and if he is, I could easily imagine him wishing the south won the war so they could keep their slaves.

If the people in the “Men’s Right’s Movement” really want us to take them seriously, they should denounce people like this, in mass, but I don’t that will happen.

What is radical feminism anyhow? I looked up the term on both Wikipedia and RationalWiki and I wasn’t really satisfied with their articles.

Obviously I’m not a trans* exclusionary radical feminist (TERF). But what is radical feminism?

What is radical feminism anyhow?

I feel like this is kind of the feminist equivalent of walking into a musical club and asking for a definition of ‘punk rock.’ You’ll get a hundred passionate answers, many of them contradictory.

LBT – That’s what I’m thinking, but maybe a guideline? I know I joked about being a radfem once on a forum that I go on, and someone seriously asked whether I was a radfem. I said no, and said person was like “oh, phew”. So I get the feeling that it’s bad?

Ally – no, I wasn’t thinking the trans* women are TERFS (that would be a whole other level of wtfuckery). I was wondering how TERFS cope with knowing there are trans* women who are also radical feminists.

Sorry, those links aren’t working as I thought they would (directly leading to a comment thread you could view) so you’ll have to scan the comments section for the debates. But our goo friend fidelbogen is there speaking in more characters than I’m used to seeing him in and every time ikonographer says anything, mra’s ask him where this center he apparently got donations for was. He eventually says stuff like

“Corrupt ideologues all operate the same way”<~~ you should know, since you libeled myself and Kristina Hansen on your site.
you can't ban or block me here, paulie. oh, yeah…you committed an act
of censorship against someone with a different opinion to yours…and
then you adopted that position, re: Earl Silverman's death. you also
called anyone who wouldn't defend their positions cowards–and then
refused to engage me to examine your non-existent evidence– that you used to
libel me.

and

the dirty little secret of the mrm of today is this: there is no philosophical underpinning to the BS that they spew. I know, since I was on the ‘ground floor’ of their pathetic attempts to create an ideological framework. I had to throw up my hands in disgust, since their current ideological cocktail is a mishmash of randian hero worship, pseudo-intellectualism, and outright hypocrisy.

and Kristina Hansen says stuff like

Says the man who publicly said he would vote ANY man accused of rape as non-guilty, regardless of the evidence, and that he would not help any men whom he could not exploit or profit from. Perhaps it’s not just Gotell who can’t remember what she says from moment to moment eh? Oh, and while we’re at it, how’s that register-her site going Paul? Sill exposing any woman who you disagree with, and deem a bigot, by releasing their personal information for all to see, and for nuts to easily locate them? I think you do not quite grasp what the phrase ‘human rights’ actually means.

It’s very entertaining to watch the squabble.

“ALL CATS are feminist.”

Of course they are. Cats rule.

Cats are felinist. Except they don’t need to be, because they rule.

kittehs – Cats. Just cats. Meow!

Off topic, but Ralphs has a really cute cup of a black cat for a mug for Halloween. So cute!

Well, they’re Secret Male Agents of the Patriarchy, of course. Who else would they be?

Secret Male Agents of the Furrinati, of course.

RE: Alice

gender itself I feel is a biological thing, different from sex.

I disagree, but am in an unusual position.

RE: Ally

Yyyyyyup. Pretty much any form of wingnuttery you can imagine, tumblr will have it. It’s a bunch of people treating social justice as a fandom, who’ve just discovered the idea of privilege but don’t understand intersectionality, leading to a fascinating clusterfuck of dingbattery.

Lili – probably not. I imagine humans, dogs, cats and lifeforms-in-general give this twit the side-eye and stay well clear.

Assuming he ever leaves his basement, of course.

Probably the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen from a radfem was the claim that the vagina is only for pushing out babies, and that it’s unnatural for it to receive a penis.

The mind, it boggles.
