Yep... great risk, but in ISIS cases even muslim outside of ISIS direct grasp aren't very vocal. german nazi in the beggining was possible to combat front to front but sure when it was blatantly obvious how vicious it could be it had passed the point of common citizen being able to uphold against it.

In the case of feminism there isn't any obvious instance of real danger against women that stand against feminazism, but most women I see doing that isn't feminists and they abhor the movement. Unless we coun't some feminists in Youtube that properly address the female issues and don't shift the blame or demonize men, those girls I like to hear. Feminazi and apologetics I can't stand.

I think you answered yourself... we have to address both sides, the agressor (that we don't have direct power over it, but as a society need to fight) and the victm (that we have more power, being ourselves or people close to us)... and until we give the idea that all the blame and bad is fault of the aggressor and don't teach responsibility to our kids they will expose more to danger.

I'm not at fault when I get robbed, but If I go to a very violent neighbourhood with a convertible Mercedes-Benz and get assalted I'm partially to blame for putting myself in danger.

It was great.

It's like a lot of their dumb studies that they take two very unlikely related issues and make them magically correlate to say they have a causation relationship.

Nah, nobody was specifically, which was why I didn't really quote anyone. It's largely been gnawing on me for awhile though, so it was in part to get my own thoughts down. x3 With regards to the video itself, while it does obviously lean too far towards hyperbole, at the same time (as someone who's grown up with a close relationship with my little sister and been privvy to the full spectrum of what an attractive young girl-and-eventually-woman can be exposed to) I've definitely seen enough horrid behavior to kind of see what might twist a person that strongly, especially if they weren't fortunate enough to have strongly positive male figures in their live to act as a counterbalance. o_o

Even the aforementioned sister, despite having a solid head on her shoulders, great sense of humor about the situation, would occasionally express her frustration at the kind of shite she has to slog through on her dating profile, which avoided any form of provocative pictures (No cleavage, no flimsy attire, the most provocative thing that can be said about them is her shirts are snug enough to comfirm that she is indeed a girl =P ) and even outright states no interest in sexual encounters or 'flings,' and still got inundated with countless messages that ranged from disgusting to creepy, with only a few gems of civility sprinkled here and there. Even half of those gems would inevitably turn disgusting or creepy after a few replies. Not even counting the in-person encounters, catcalls, etc. At the same time, though, she's had plenty of guy friends who were, and still are, supportive and protective of her, and as such it's kind of resulted in the 'Well, there are a LOT of jerks out there... but also nice guys. ^^ ' outlook she has. Which is probably the best outlook to have, really. =P

Hell, at times, when she'd show me the contents of her Plenty of Fish inbox, I'D kind of start to hate my own gender too, and I've got first-hand experience that we're not all assholes. x3 The Internet likely magnifies the negative, of course, as anonimity can certainly bring out the very worst in people.

Well that video is 100% man hating bullshit.

Aye Like I said, after all the house fires which have happened in homes with a toilet, it's almost 100% of the time, how haven't we reacted as a society to remove this menace!!!

Still tho, the fact that guys use those words at times, but no mention of girls ever using them, is Whore the new N word? like, it's their Word, guys can't use it tho! If that is the path this is aiming to go down... it's goal is to create a Them/Us situation, I don't really see a great end game for that.

Feminazis, I hate feminazis.

Actually, here is the front of a leaflet I was handed from a Muslim in my local town on Saturday. (I live in a Northern English town for geographical reference)

I find it sad that they feel the need to have to explain anything.

I grew up in a house full of brothers, extended male family, and male cousins. That said, my mom gave me some fairly sound advice growing up: "If you don't want your Nana hearing about it, you probably shouldn't be doing it."

The reports are strong with this thread.

General warning. Personal insults, incitement of violence against individuals or groups, sexist and or racist comments are against forum rules. Some people need to be a little more cautious with 'they were asking for it'-type arguments. From this post forward, we'll start moderating people who cross lines.

OT:

I am at work, and have not watched the video yet. I will say that the thread title alone implies a level of generalization that reeks of over-reaction. Meeting a few feminists in your day-to-day life that are - in your opinion - overzealous man-haters, does not invalidate a movement that incorporates both men and women, and is focused on equality, not triumph.

True, though (and this is admittedly largely semantics) I do think it's impotant to set the distinction that all the 'bad,' (basically, malicious or ill intent,) is the fault of the aggressor. :/ In essense, while I think it is vital to educate people in how to best avoid putting themselves in situation of overt danger or risk, the actual responsibility for the act itself should remain firmly in the hands of the person carrying said act out. I.E. 'There are really, REALLY shitty people out there, and there's not much, if anything, you can do to dissuade them from doing shitty things to you.'

This is partly because as I said before, it's inherently difficult to predict if someone you've never before met might mean you harm, and constant vigilence is something I find pretty vital, even if it's something as simple as not letting yourself drift off to sleep in an exposed venue. Especially given there are acts of violence that can genuinely be causeless, to the point of nonsensical, the lesson should be made that '...and even if you do ALL this stuff I just said... honestly, something bad might still happen, and if it does, it's not your fault, and you should know that you can tell me ANYTHING and we'll work through it together.'

Just because you're more likely to be assaulted in a violent neighborhood with your Mercedes-Benz doesn't mean you might not still get jumped in an otherwise safe region... the difference being that in the violent neighborhood, you might take even the basic precaution of not daudling about, and locking your doors while rolling up your windows, while in the safer region you do none of these things and are in fact even more easily assaulted as a result. =P
