Thank you third wave feminists for many things. I appreciate all the things you complain about that are not meant to be sexist in any shape or form(COUGH COUGH VIDEO GAMES COUGH).

 

In a world where women "suffering" in first world countries find anything to complain about, men are basically pigs- yes, you are now a pig because apparently judging how a person looks makes you a horrible, mean, straight, male scumbag! Yes, when women demand you to do a shit load for them, it's perfectly reasonable. But when a man asks for physical preferences, you're overdoing it. It's not like you work hard for all the money you obtain.

 

Besides my obvious sarcasm, it's safe to say that feminism is poisoned. Think of it being attacked by people who essentially just want to gain extra privileges for no extra reason. Jokes about men can be made without any consequence, but the moment you say anything about women, you're doomed(it's happened to me too many times in high school- boy did that help me love feminism more hint: it didn't). Women are now 33% more likely to earn degrees, the government has fallen to the myths feminists use, and feminism is more contradictory than your typical religious book that was a pretty good roast, right m8?

 

It's disappointing when you're from a place where women aren't necessarily trash, but they aren't in the place many women in 1st world countries are in currently(I'm from Gaza/Jerusalem if you wonder). Sure, most women don't mind being able to relax at home all day with friends, but I know for sure many wouldn't mind being able to live alone and gain great careers. These people have so much, and yet they're still complaining?! For what? Soon we'll be needing consent to say hello to women.

 

My point? Third wave feminism ruins any bit of respect many people have had for feminism. Not only that, but it makes many people have a bitter taste for many women*(and men) who place such double standards. Good lord, the amount of double standards are excruciating. 

-Men can't hit women(but it's brave and breathtaking when a woman does it!)

-Men shouldn't manspread(but when a woman's purse takes up a space, it's alright)

-Men shouldn't expect so much out of women(but it's "compromising" when we demand a ton out of men)

Best of all, women shouldn't be judged for their physical exterior, but men are slammed to the ground when they have an erection( WHICH THEY DON'T FUCKIN CONTROL).

 

I'd love to hear your reception of third wave feminism? Yay or nay? And if you dislike third wave feminism with a passion, what are some examples that make you want to rip your hair off? For me, examples are:

-Anita Sarkeesian

-Slut walk participants 

-Tumblr users

-People who use emotions over facts and reject any fact by saying "You can't comment on it because you're not a woman"

 

 

*I am not anti-woman in any way. Anti-third wave feminism =/= anti-woman. Same how  anti- wahhabism =/= anti-islam or anti-muslim.

 

 

In case you didn't realize, I did add a joke or two. Hopefully it won't kill y'all and make you think this is meant to start a war. It's probably a rantish/discussion starting thread. Yes, my logic isn't perfect. No, this isn't a troll thread. Obviously I'll be open to accepting I'm wrong if someone goes Stephen Hawking on me and roasts me with facts or good insults.

The most unattractive kind of woman there is. Delusional and disgusting animals.



I'm just going to leave my two cents and then disappear, as I can see this topic spiraling out of control quickly.

All I'll say is that I identity as a feminist and I do so proudly. There are radicals and extremists in all classes, groups and -isms. It's unfair to demonize all feminists as man-hating hypocrites -- just as it would be unfair to lump those who kill in the name of God with all adherents of a particular religion.

Feminism, like all political movements, covers a broad spectrum of ideologies.
