Feminists are spawn of the devil

After the title, what's left to say?

Thank you Chai, this is a great topic that I was going to bring up myself.

There should be a middle ground on feminism, between "feminists are spawn of the devil", and "feminism is unquestionable truth". In today's fractious society, this middle ground is very difficult to inhabit.

There is quite a bit about feminism with which I agree. I support the movement to win equal pay. I am actively trying to help bring more women into engineering. I am raising a daughter who is intelligent, curious, confident and assertive... all qualities that I respect and encourage.

There are some things about current feminism with which I either disagree, or I believe is extreme. The discussion about free speech, and due process are important. When I disagree with feminists on the topics, it is because I don't share their opinion, not because I hate women.

This all or nothing ideology, where you either accept everything or you are an enemy of all women is the problem. It leads to a large group of ideologically pure people who think the same. They have lost the ability to question their own beliefs, or to accept when other people question. Our country is currently dividing itself into two opposing ideological camps with no ability to understand anything outside of each carefully constructed narrative.

I don't see feminists as the spawn of the devil, nor do I see them as infallible or above reproach. I see them as human beings.

Actually, cats is the spawn of SATAN. But feminists is right up there, just behind the cats.

My cat just took a nap on my arm, and wouldn't let me get up.

I was forced to watch Netflix for the duration.

The only thing going for it was that it was a male cat...although I guess he could still be a feminist....although I doubt it.

Damn....they start them young.......

I know, right?

Do I see a shadow of a moustache on that pretty, little face?

Probably. She has no concept of looking nice for her man.

I’ll bet she doesn’t even own a razor, or a lipstick.

I mean, would putting on a little lipstick kill her?

A real woman doesn’t mind being behind a cat. She’s ready to clean up the inevitable hairball.

But oh no, if a feminist is behind a cat, she’ll expect a man to clean it up.

I’m thinking about starting a thread about hysterectomies, I haven’t had one, a hysterectomy I mean, but I bet Max will be able to flesh out the pros and cons and who gets to decide when one is necessary. Fingers crossed.

If it were up to feminists, we’d all have to get hysterectomies.

They’d make all become lesbians too, and vegan.

That never occurred to me, oh crap, can I keep my husband, we are simpatico.

I mean me and mr.g’bag, not you and me......at least not like that.......I mean you’re nice and all that, but I don’t want my uterus ripped out unless it’s absolutely necessary...... plus mr.g’bag is so much fun.

Oh look . . . a content copy bot.

Nah! It substituted 'span' for 'duration'. Now, wasn't that creative?

You all are doing an surprising amount of work to prevent a discussion from taking place.

i'm stuck on "an surprising"...
