    Are male Feminists, Feminists just because they think it will get them laid?

    in System Wars

    Posted

    I hope you see that piece is sarcasm, guys who call themselves feminists to get pussy are not really feminists, that's the point.

     

    But anyways, it depends what you mean by feminism, there are feminists I agree a lot with almost completely but there's a portion of the new feminist millennial version that I can't digest. So I have no idea if I'm a feminist or not nor do I care so much about labeling myself.

     

    I have dated self-identified feminists and I have found they're not the crazy man-hating stereotype many in the right make out to be. I have found they're actually very intelligent and understanding of men too or at least they are really interested to listen to what men have to say as long as they don't do it in insulting or disrespectful ways. Of course there are other feminists that are exactly like the stereotype but I wouldn't date one of them. The concept of feminism is now used so widely and to cover so many subjects that I think it is losing its usefulness as a category, that's why relatively few women and even less men identify themselves as feminists, they don't want to be thrown into a bag with all that confusing mess.

    I got rich because I make smart decisions with my money.  I'm not going to stop doing that now that I am rich.

    Going to the ghetto with so much money is not smart. You could end up kidnapped and raped. Unless that's what you want. Rich people are sick fucks.

    You need to realise that those on both extremes are morons - those who think we should ban all white males from a room and those who think blaming everything on Mexicans and Gays is intellectual discourse worthy of a University. The same types of mind sets are what lead to extremism. But these people are vocal minorities on both extremes

     

    One side is just as likely to have an aneurysm over an example of white male privilege as the other side is to throw a hissy fit because a black man kneeled or burn a Harry Potter book because it came from the devil

     

    Feminism, progressiveness and conservatism are not new concepts developed by 90s kids - they are the offspring of overall efforts to improve things for women and minorities over the past 50+ years. And occasionally we have examples where it goes too far to the extreme on both sides - whether it’s women burning bras or Milo telling us women are lower IQ and deserve to be on the bottom

     

    Right now we are in the peak of discourse about rights, but it always course corrects to a middle ground where things are better for people than they were before. 

    I heard the podcast and I agree with pretty much everything. I'm pretty leftist myself but there is a point where this culture about victimhood and offensiveness is crossing the line to absurdity. If you hear the podcast they mention that this extreme is only happening in some universities, which is good, we don't want this sort of hysterics to spread too much because it will undermine real social justice. For me what these two guys describe is basically the equivalent of a witch hunt. You basically have a bunch of young inexperienced people who think they know everything (which is very common at that age) and see the world in simplistic black and white, us vs them terms. Of course since social justice has gained so much impulse lately then they can easily find followers. The problem with this is when finding followers becomes the main purpose and social justice is merely an excuse for building your following tribe and becoming popular. The same used to happen during witch hunts, you could build your own following and victimhood by basically accusing anyone for even the most absurd things and your followers believe you by default because the stigma of not believing you is big, you could end up accused of being a witch yourself. This is fucking BS and frankly very dangerous for real social justice. There has to be a set of reasonable filters put in place to avoid this type of senseless persecution which is not more about seeking justice but about distorted narcissism and selfish self-promotion.

     

    And of course this happens also on the right. They use these extreme examples to crucify the whole social justice movement and paint everyone there with the same brush when there are actually important and valuable efforts and fights worth fighting for. It's two sides of the same coin. We need more level-headed people on the discourse and I think these two had a good level-headed discussion around this issue. The problem is when the discourse against social justice devolves to 4chan /pol/ level of argumentation, then you reach the other end of the absurdity spectrum.

    My Orgasm Is Not Your Property (So Stop Saying You Made Me Come)

    Ok, I read the whole article now and she does seem to have issues but not because of the part you quoted. The description she made of the encounter she had with a guy where she ends up blaming him for wanting to cuddle and for wanting her to have an orgasm tells me this woman has probably issues with intimacy and sexuality and either she's not very experienced or she really chooses only assholes to have sex with. Women like this expect guys to be able to read minds or what? Wtf, people don't know about communication? Is not like people are born with knowledge about what works for everyone else sexually. Dumb ass article.

    There's a difference between a bully and keeping order.

    No, the US has acted like a bully for a long time. The mess in the Middle East is in large part because of decades of failed foreign policies from the US and its allies. It all started because of this kind of retarded arrogance you show here.

    If the US didn't have this constant looming threat of destruction or occupation hanging over other countries heads the world would spiral out of control. It's clear that no one can actually be left to their own devices in a modern age of firearms, technology and nuclear weapons. 
     

    Someone has to be in this position, someone, it's better us than anyone else. 

    How convenient... the US creates a constant looming threat of occupation and destruction throughout the world and then you say that it is inevitable that there exists a looming threat of destruction and occupation. Well then don't expect sympathy when 9/11s keep happening to you then, other nations shouldn't have to put up with a bully.

     

    Also expect more migration from the war torn countries you leave behind.

    Someone has to police the globe, it's a necessary evil and everyone knows it, and I don't think you'd want anyone else doing the job.

    No, that's why countries have sovereignty and they can choose through their electoral processes with which other countries they ally or not. Nobody appointed the US police of the globe, they appointed themselves. If you ask those thousands of murdered, disappeared and tortured chileans they would disagree that the US should have overthrown their democratically elected government.

    That's because the United States isn't a democracy and we have this thing called the electoral college to prevent mob rule.

    Still doesn't justify the US interfering with other nations' electoral processes and by doing so causing the deaths of thousands of people.

    And Dakur is back with his usual anti-American tankie apologetics, this time showing true class by doing it on September 11th.

     

    Allende got only a third of the vote. The two people who ran against also each got a third of the vote, but slightly less. One was rightwing, the other was center-right. The former president was part of the same center-right party as the third candidate, but was termed out or he would've won easily.

     

    The constitution stated that if no one won with a majority, the legislation would then pick the winner, and they picked Allende.

     

    Allende then aligned himself with the fucking communists. 

     

    This during the dog days of the Cold War.

     

    The US also didn't initiate the coupe, but Nixon was absolutely right to support it. Would we have tolerated the Nazis gaining a stronghold in South America? Hell no. 

    Funny how the US suddenly is the one to dictate how the democracy of other countries work. Hillary Clinton actually got more votes than Trump. I guess that justifies other country to promote a coup in the US and overthrow your government while killing a bunch of republicans. Fuck off with your cheap justifications.

     

    Allende's coup happened in 9-11. Thanks to the US more people died there than in the US 9-11. It's good to remember both acts of international terror no matter how much apologists on each side try to justify one or the other.
