You didn't summarize anything. You wrote a strawman.

If feminists have all this power you claim they have, where does that strength originate from? Strength from numbers? Financial strength? Powerful positions in politics?

How could "some sex negative feminist" guilt trip the owners, if the owners don't feel guilty for the practice (which they wouldn't, unless they agree with said "sex negative feminist")? Do you think some small group of feminists would be able to force the owners to against their will do something that would hurt them financially? No. Unless the owners thought that in the long run, this practice would hurt them financially by alienating viewers/sponsors, they wouldn't do it...

Are you serious with this? This is why I didn't take your points seriously. Most female celebs are feminists. Alot of the media are feminists. Most of the left are feminists. Ya got trudeau lecturing a naive kid that we should say peoplekind instead of mankind when she asked a question. He's a male feminist btw. Did ya not see that pussyhat march?

You're just attempting to downplay the influence of feminists so we can't say this shit is their fault.  

You didn't take my points seriously because of how you judge my character? Surely arguments should be judged on their own merit, on not based on your own opinion of the person making them?

Most female celebs may be feminists, but they aren't the fringe feminists that you are constantly outraged about. Same with media and "the left". 

As for the pussyhat march, again, I don't see how that's related to the type of fringe feminism you complain about. Sure, there were definitely fringe feminists supporting it, but you wouldn't judge a large group based on a minority, would you? 

Sure, the wage gap isn't real, and males and females are pretty much equal in terms of rights, but if you can't see how society still pushes boys and girls in different directions (walking into a toy store should be enough to ilustrate this), then this discussion will be fruitless.

I'm trying to get you to explain to me how feminists could force the owners of these tournaments to stop this practice. Could you answer that? How did feminists force them to do this?

And I'd appreciate if you could stop trying to explain to me what I'm trying to do. I'm pretty sure I know more about what I'm trying to do, so you don't have to make up things to tell me.

PS: Check out the underlined part in italics. If you have to choose one thing to reply to, I'd prefer if it was that.
