		<description>lol wait! has this dude, angryoldfatman (really!? talk about self-hating..) even googled or checked in a dictionary what feminism is? I think this dude is the the poster child of logical fallacy...

FEM.I.NISM (noun)

&quot;The Advocacy of women&#039;s rights on the ground of political, social and economical EQUALITY to men&quot;

nothing about power or Independence for women that just comes with the beauty of equality, maybe the word &#039;feminism&#039; should be change to &#039;equalism&#039; so people (you) don&#039;t miss understand it so much. see how feminism can be applied too everybody no matter race, sexuality or gender. women have political right&#039;s but we have poor social right&#039;s or at lease socially accepted right&#039;s and we still get paid less then men for no reason in many profession (excluding modeling and pornography you tell me what dose that say about the society we are living in and how us woman are portrait). Feminism should be outdated in this day and age but inequality still obviously exist just because there a &quot;minority&quot;, which I disagree, dose not mean is fair and just brush it off and ignore it because it dose not effect you, MALE, with many perks just for been one, that just make you a elitist jerk :)(I think the culprit of this is that I.T. professional title you keep trowing around). for some reason you just don&#039;t want men to accept been feminine don&#039;t you!? COME ON! ADMIT IT! YOUR&#039;RE BITTER BECAUSE YOU HAVE SUPPRESS FEELING OVER YOUR PARENT NOT LETTING YOU PLAY IN THE PINK SECTION OF THE TOY STORE! RIGHT!? OR DO MEN IN TOUCH WITH THERE FEMININE SIDE INTIMIDATE YOU? IS THAT IT? and I am sorry but are you a female? stop try to talk for me like you know how it feel to be female oppressed. you&#039;re DUMB the more people that are feminist the better, no male is oppressing me just because they support equality that dose not make sense so shut up. (ESPECIALLY ABOUT TALKING IN A FEMALE POINT OF VIEW) and about you&#039;re obsession with power and how you think everybody seeks it,(shortcomings in the male genitalia era? do you know about rape culture? it resonates with idiots like you) please, GET OVER IT!</description>

		<description>you&#039;re just personally attacking me with bad assumptions, outdated stereotypes and saying is some schtick like you personally know me believing what you want and creating this FAKE imagery in your head of my personal reasons of why I am feminist and thus &quot;proving&quot; how I am been a hypocrite (nice accusation of oppression and subjugation with imaginary proof of validation by the way). I thought you where misguided, I though you where actually gonna give me a validating argument on how I&#039;m been a hypocrite, but no, because there is no way for you to prove it you went on making assumption and attacking me to do so, this just shows for a fact how closed-minded and what a selfish childish asshole you are. why is it so unbelievable for you that a man would want equality with no interior motives? is it because you&#039;re reflecting this idea on yourself? (usually white straight male of cisgender think like this, but I&#039;m not talking about you angryoldfatman I don&#039;t need to jump in to assumption like you do to prove your false OPINION of a point). A person who doesn&#039;t believe in equality or just doesn&#039;t want to believe that there still inequality and makes a joke of other people who strive for it just because they got luck and privileged and this inequality just dosen&#039;t effect them, there always ignorant, missed informed and selfish,and for this reason whatever they have too say is always just a waste of time. So I&#039;m obviously done here. and by the way grammar-Nazi fuck you.</description>

		<description>@T.K.

1. Nobody wants to hear about your sexual fetishes.

2. Dial whine-one-one and call for a waaaaahmbulance.

3. I can&#039;t decide if you&#039;re the first kind or second kind of hypocrite. Given your less-than-stellar writing skills, you have the stench of poor education on you, which is indicative of recent liberal arts college courses. Liberal arts university guys are usually all about the poon, and the whole &quot;free my own gender&quot; schtick is something I could see you whispering into the nearest hippie chick&#039;s ear as you snuggle in your Occupy Smellyville love-tent.
On the other hand, you seem pretty sincere, which would make you an even bigger douchebag hypocrite since you&#039;re all about oppression and subjugation of women IN A COUNTRY THAT ALREADY HAS LAWS AGAINST IT, as opposed to those wonderful, free, women-loving countries like Bumfuckistan, Outer Shitholeia. Perhaps you could relocate there and show them the error of their ways. Drop me a line when you get that done, mmkay? Thanks a million.</description>

		<description>&quot;As a self-described male feminist...&quot;

Congratulations. Your father must be proud.

&quot;By claiming that men should be interested in women’s equality, we’re not implying that women are inferior and cannot succeed without our help.&quot;

That&#039;s exactly what you&#039;re implying. By being &quot;interested&quot; in fixing women&#039;s equality (something that was fixed by explicit law nearly 50 years ago), you think women aren&#039;t equal already. Thus, they are inferior and need your &quot;interest&quot; to make them equal.

And comparing today&#039;s women to Civil War slaves? Really? That isn&#039;t so much inflammatory as it is stupid.

&quot;So I don’t see the hypocrisy.&quot;

That&#039;s not a big surprise.</description>

		<description>&quot;If the male in question is indeed truly outraged by the plight of the downtrodden half of the population, what with their rights being trampled upon constantly by THE MAN and THE PATRIARCHY and all, then he thinks women are too weak to do anything about it themselves. They need his help and the help of his fellow penis-owning oppressors-no-more to rise to their rightful places in society. If he thinks that women are so weak that the so-called oppressors themselves need to help them cast off their shackles, then that makes him…&quot;

As a self-described male feminist (and also a binary-thinking I.T. guy), I think you&#039;re wrong.  By claiming that men should be interested in women&#039;s equality, we&#039;re not implying that women are inferior and cannot succeed without our help.  We&#039;re simply saying that equality is the right thing, and that everybody should be working toward it.

To draw a (possibly inflammatory) analogy, prior to the Civil War, blacks made up about half the population in many southern states.  But white abolitionists of that era be condemned for disempowering blacks by demanding more power for them.  And in that historical context, it was true that the slaves didn&#039;t have the power to free themselves without the consent of the white power structures that controlled them.

So I don&#039;t see the hypocrisy.</description>
