fe·mi·nis·me (het; o) 1het streven naar gelijke rechten voor vrouwen en mannen

Here, a definition from one of the most authorative dutch dictionaries, have fun translating.



Doesn't matter how authoritative it is, if they haven't updated the word in the past ten years, then it's an older definition that does not apply to most people's understanding of the word in this day and age because holy shit definitions can change to reflect culture omfg no wai. 



That dictionary is updated on a yearly basis. It just means your definition (or what you THINK is a general definition) just isn't noteworthy or mainstream enough to be put in there.

Just to make it clear, you guys would rather fight over the meaning of the word "feminists" rather than the video calling you rapists and so on.

 

OK :3.

The feminist morons think that regardless of what you do, so I really don't care anymore, they can all go a fuck off to their little echo chamber and the rest of the world can get on with dealing with reality.

And you can go back to your man cave and cry yourself to sleep.





This thread makes me laugh. But then I remembered you are all mostly children.

 

Treat women equally, and not as objects, and none of them will ever have an excuse to call you a pig. Stop stirring the pot, no one is speaking to you guys directly.

I don't think the video calls every man a rapist. I guess I'll have to watch it again but that's not what I got from it. I'll say this though, it's badly handled/presented because the way the story is told it makes it seems like everything the girl experiences is inevitable, that it's only a matter of time before any girl is raped.





Signature goes here!

No they are becasue the majority that identify themselves as feminist act like that. It's really not hard mate. And honestly, what has Feminism ever done for men?

 

Azuren said:

And when nearly everyone who identifies as a feminist acts like a man-hating fool, what then? The term feminist has been hijacked by spurned women, but there are some who refuse to acknowledge that. 



 

Those are some bold statements. Out of curiosity, what information are they based on?

 

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"?

Is the word the same from year to year? Yes? Then that word has not been updated. Funny how that works. 

 

And I guarantee that if you ask most men what they think of when they hear the term feminist, they don't immediately think of rational women who just want equal rights.

The men I speak to and the men you speak to must come from a diferent universe then? That dictionary updates the words based on relevance.

The video essentially says that all of the name-calling will be from boys, that anytime a girl is drunk a boy will try to get in her pants, and that no matter how perfect her fiance is, he will verbally, physically, and  mentally abuse her.
