" means that feminism is going to hurt women"

yes denial that sexism is an intrinsic part of society hurts women... because women often have different needs than men and acknowledging that is by definition sexist since sexism by definition is to discriminate based on sex

if every man for example started to become timid and asked for consent to kiss in every interaction with a woman, that hurts women would you agree?

 

" So because a Women thinks a story is offensive and sexist" 

anything that differentiates between men and women is going to be sexist... that's the meaning of that word, which seems to be lost on a lot of people now

can you logically explain how the story has offended you?

 

"I'd like to say that some Men regard women as repulsive when asking for kisses"

well if a guy finds a woman repulsive then i'm pretty sure he's not going to ask for a kiss...

"yes denial that sexism is an intrinsic part of society hurts women... because women often have different needs than men and acknowledging that is by definition sexist since sexism by definition is to discriminate based on sex"

Obviously there will always be some sort of discrimination between the two different sexes, but feminists are trying to limit that as much as possible and allow women to be equal as men around the world. A world with less discrimination between the two sexes sounds pretty good imo.

"if every man for example started to become timid and asked for consent to kiss in every interaction with a woman, that hurts women would you agree?"

No, it doesn't hurt women. 

"can you logically explain how the story has offended you?"

A Woman needed a man to save her.

"well if a guy finds a woman repulsive then i'm pretty sure he's not going to ask for a kiss..."

The point of my comment was that being repulsive to kisses happens on both sides and it's not only a woman thing.

 

"Obviously there will always be some sort of discrimination between the two different sexes, but feminists are trying to limit that as much as possible"

and that is starting to cause problems because the assumption is that men and women are fundamentally the same when they're not

 

"allow women to be equal as men around the world."

really? feminism is active primarily in first world countries where women have had equal rights for decades now... compare that to its presence in areas like saudi arabia for example

 

"No, it doesn't hurt women. "

ok, i accept your perspective on that

 

"A Woman needed a man to save her."

who is more likely to save who in a dangerous situation? a man or a woman?

with all of the recent sexual assault stories, it is primarily men that have been called upon to intervene, can you explain the reason for that?

and i'd just like to reflect on the irony of claiming that men and women are the same as many of these people do while also claiming that its offensive to see a man saving a woman... you get contradictions like that because at the subconscious level no one really believes a lot of this nonsense that's being pushed

 

"The point of my comment was that being repulsive to kisses happens on both sides and it's not only a woman thing."

when did i say that its a woman only thing?
