I just used enlightened based on its definition of the term. Not implying anything intellectual behind it.

I'm curious which laws have been influenced.  I'm wondering if any of them make perfect sense, or if there are some that make absolutely no sense and have people scratching their heads. Because I can tell you that my freedoms have not been compromised due to any feminist law I can think of (I'm in Canada, if that makes a difference).

I'm a little hazy on the Sarkeesian timeline, to be honest. So if most of the hate came from her disabling comments, then colour me corrected.


well i'm not going to start doing extensive lists to prove that feminism really is doing this

as i figure it should be fairly obvious that considering that the goal of feminism is to change society then there must also be some change in the guidelines that society follows

but i will provide one extreme example

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-29619/The-city-banned-men.html

where does this come from?

i would say that it comes from the perception that men are violent sexually deviant baboons

as anita implies here for example

and therefore must have restrictions placed upon them

this is where the affirmative consent act comes from

http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2014/10/an-apalling-case-for-affirmative-consent-laws/381518/#disqus_thread

now i agree with the purpose of these restrictions they are to provide a safer environment with women, however, there are evidently problems that arise here

it is also where we get revisions to rape laws which make it so that women cannot rape men legally

now what surprises me is how men do not get alarmed when they see the comments above by anita for example... is it not apparent that to some degree a hatred of masculinity fuels comments like this that feminist make routinely? why is it that if a man says something similar he is a misogynist but women get a pass? not that hatred should be perpetuated in any form... i don't know perhaps i'm going too far out of the general consensus with this paragraph
