When did feminism go completely crazy?

Gosh, those feminists are too extreme, and those feminists are intellectually bankrupt, and those ones over there are angry about a thing this one guy said noone should be upset by.

Good thing we have all these rational men who tell us what is correct without the need for any supporting arguments!
 
Ah. That's a good clarification! Perhaps it was spawned from the Devil himself after he lost a bet with the MRAs?

Where has anyone said anything like that in this thread? I ask because your attempt at sarcasm is only really effective if it is an accurate characterization of an argument that someone actually made.

EDIT: It also seems like you think "manspreading" is a serious issue affecting women. If so, why do you think we should care about "manspreading" and what negative impacts does it have on women in society?
 
How many MRAs does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

Who's there?

No, uh, I'm not telling a knock-knock joke.

Yeah, but, did you know that knock-knock jokes also happen sometimes?
 
Mods, please for the love of the few good things left in this forum, close this thread.

Go Ctrl-F. Its a response to at least 3 different people including yourself.

The non-sarcastic version of my post would be: Men need to stop trying to be the arbiters of who are the "good" feminists. Hell, 20 pages ago some guy was saying there were no good feminists and that everyone should be egalitarians IN HIS MANLY OPINION.

What about other women? Do they get to decide who is a good feminist? Or is that a largely subjective term and everyone is entitled to their own opinion and have the right to voice it even if everyone else disagrees. And how is anyone in this thread the arbiter? Society at large is the arbiter, and guess what? Society is made up of men too.

I suppose this means I can't call the feminists who advocate for the massacre of men "bad" feminists. Nor can I applaud those who fight rape culture as "good" feminists.

Okay, fair enough. I won't proclaim to speak for anyone else, but I can say that I am not trying to be the arbiter of what makes a good feminist. I am merely expressing my opinions on the matter, and last I checked there was nothing particularly wrong with expressing an opinion. If you don't like my opinions, that's fine. If you don't wish to read my opinions at all, then put me on your ignore list.

Why? No forum rules have been violated, the thread creator has not requested the thread be closed, and there is still a discussion going on. Just because the quality of the discussion does not meet your personal standards or tastes does not mean the thread should be closed.
 
On the one extreme, you have complaints about manspreading, on the other extreme, you have this:

I thought about this problem and am sure I have the solution: make rape legal if done on private property. I propose that we make the violent taking of a woman not punishable by law when done off public grounds.

The exception for public rape is aimed at those seedy and deranged men who randomly select their rape victims on alleys and jogging trails, but not as a mechanism to prevent those rapes, since the verdict is still out if punishment stops a committed criminal mind, but to have a way to keep them off the streets. For all other rapes, however, especially if done in a dwelling or on private property, any and all rape that happens should be completely legal.

If rape becomes legal under my proposal, a girl will protect her body in the same manner that she protects her purse and smartphone. If rape becomes legal, a girl will not enter an impaired state of mind where she can’t resist being dragged off to a bedroom with a man who she is unsure of—she’ll scream, yell, or kick at his attempt while bystanders are still around. If rape becomes legal, she will never be unchaperoned with a man she doesn’t want to sleep with. After several months of advertising this law throughout the land, rape would be virtually eliminated on the first day it is applied.

Without daddy government to protect her, a girl would absolutely not enter a private room with a man she doesn’t know or trust unless she is absolutely sure she is ready to sleep with him. Consent is now achieved when she passes underneath the room’s door frame, because she knows that that man can legally do anything he wants to her when it comes to sex. Bad encounters are sure to occur, but these can be learning experiences for the poorly trained woman so she can better identify in the future the type of good man who will treat her like the delicate flower that she believes she is. After only one such sour experience, she will actually want to get fully acquainted with a man for longer than two hours—perhaps even demanding to meet his parents—instead of letting a beer chug prevent her from making the correct decisions to protect her body.

Jolly Roger is the only person keeping this thread from imploding in on itself.
 
If you say that this is a quality discussion. Or a discussion.

Well it's not a RD thread, which pretty much means the only standards are "don't violate the forum rules". As long as that doesn't happen, the mods have no reason to close the thread.

EDIT: As an aside: That's why I would never consider making any of my threads a RD thread. I really don't care if there is quality discussion or if anyone here takes anything I say seriously because at the end of the day, this is still just an internet forum. Anyone expecting any kind of quality or serious discussion on an internet forum is either incredibly naïve or hasn't been using the internet very long.

Ummm... reading this, I'm sure we're not supposed to take this seriously. It is satire. Let me repeat. It is satire. Anyone who took this seriously as an example of MRA thinking probably didn't give it a proper reading, for whatever reason. Perhaps they need to check their glasses?

Still this does attack women for drinking, which isn't really all that much better.
 
For that matter, is this thread satire? Are we satire?

(Is this how drunk people talk? I bet that's how drunk people talk.)
