Can't really help you there. Most feminists I know support equality. Sorry you don't like the title.Foo wrote:But the name does not reflect that.Jigsaw wrote:Feminism does support equality.

You should be seeking either dominance or equality, not to be lessor.
See, here it is - "feminists want men to be lesser than women." Based on my experiences talking with actual feminists active in the movement, that is far from the majority opinion of the group.
As a male, I'm proud to be a feminist. Even if that makes me a weak sister or whatever other macho-man sexist bullshit you want to pull.
Why not just support equality, instead of feminism? Feminism excludes about half the people, including gay males and trans, who experience far more inequality than females.

Re: SJW Phenomena
Trump is an alpha male who tweets like a 14 year old girl and crosses his arms like a child when he is mad, and avoided the draft because of bone spurs. He has cheated on every wife he has had, and let's his nannies raise his kids (Melania seems to be raising Baron, so she cool in my book). But that's the alpha male we all want!!!! And then bitch about Bill Clinton. Can we not say that both are assholes? Lolshowa58taro wrote:Is Feminism where men lease their masculinity to women to Foo?

I'm cool with that. But America has always been great. Maybe a better slogan would be "America should always try to be better."Foo wrote:Trump is making America great again and Bill Clinton was a good president.

From a marketing standpoint, that slogun would never fit on a ball cap.

I don't know what antisemitic shit LeBron posted don't care really I will give him the benefit of the doubt he didn't realize what he was doing but it is clearly a double standard for such things with selective outrage.

Re: SJW Phenomena
DES MOINES, Iowa — A Des Moines Register reporter who wrote about racist tweets posted years ago by an Iowa security guard is no longer employed by the Iowa newspaper because he also made offensive comments on social media.
Editor Carol Hunter wrote in a column posted online Thursday night that reporter Aaron Calvin “is no longer with the Register.”
The Register began investigating comments made by Calvin on Twitter after his story about Iowa security guard Carson King sparked outrage. The story profiled King, who gained national fame after he held a sign seeking beer money during an ESPN show and then promised to donate the more than $1 million that poured in to a children’s hospital.
In the story, Calvin noted King had posted two racist tweets more than seven years ago, when he was a teenager. People angered by the story found old tweets from Calvin that made offensive comments about race, gay marriage and other topics.
Calvin couldn’t be reached for comment. His Twitter account is no longer open to the public.
