Well, the predominant and powerful arms of feminism are those that fall on what most would term the "radical" side of feminism. I wouldn't personally call them "man-hating fools", but certainly anti-equality in many ways and often have viewpoints or propositions which are harmful to men. These viewpoints are found first of all in all those horrible feminist holes on the internet, but this brand of feminism is also the kind seen on Universities, in large parts of the feminist news media (ie Jessica Valenti) and in the largest feminist organization NOW. Again, these are the parts of feminism that hold the most power and are clearly the loudest voices, so why should we not say "these individuals and these groups and these viewpoints are representative of modern feminism"? |
You argued the context of his point but you weren't able to actually answer the question. Instead you pointed out the more powerful arms of feminism which would imply that most people who classify themselves as feminists don't actually hold those views like the people in this thread seem to suggest.
There is no data to suggest that most feminists act upon or view the world in the manner presented in the video. These feminist extremist videos get shined upon more-so than most other feministic views due in large part to the radical nature of the presentation.
In the end I agree with you for sure, I just wanted to point out to the rest of the thread that it's illogical and unprogressive (in other words hypocritical) to simply account everyone's position based on a video by an extremist.
