I'm not posting the article contents, because seriously, do you care? I didn't even finish reading the third paragraph of this pap.

*THIS* is what gets Facebook and Twitter chatter.

I've pointed out to my FB contacts who are boosting this ridiculous signal that I posted Eric Peters' article on cops raping women and not one of them even said boo.

And also, that this is why nobody takes feminism seriously.

Anyone notice the unreal resurgence of feminism and women victims memes?

They are setting the stage for Hillary to be the first WOMEN president. But first they need to create despair so that she may rise as a hero when she is installed unto the throne.

If you disagree with me you are a sexist by the way.

What did she just say?

Who the $#@! is Emma Watson, why is she being sexually threatened and, why should I care?

ETA - So this moron is responding to 4chan trolls...genius.

If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times. War on women! Hillary 2016!

And for those who don't remember or missed it, they did the exact same thing before Obama got elected. The media pushed the "Black in America" themes ad nauseum for two years prior to Obama's election. Conditioning the masses.

I know, right? That feminist drivel. If only someone would have the balls to say something more along the lines of

...to date, I’ve seen my father’s role as a parent being valued less by society, despite my need of his presence as a child, as much as my mother’s. I’ve seen young men suffering from mental illness, unable to ask for help for fear it would make them less of a man. In fact, in the UK, suicide is the biggest killer of men between 20 to 49, eclipsing road accidents, cancer and coronary heart disease. I’ve seen men made fragile and insecure by a distorted sense of what constitutes male success. Men don’t have the benefits of equality, either.

Apparently the threats were a hoax that came from a shell company that was trying to get 4chan shut down. But it doesn't matter according to the article, because feminism.

Who the $#@! is Emma Watson...

Girl in the Harry Potter movies. A whole generation of young boys grew up fantasizing about her. Similar fan-base as Emma Stone.

I do seasonal work, I just happened to be running a register in a textile department when a middle age woman said to another cashier who was female "I need your opinion on this product,I'm sure he couldn't help me out because it is a girly opinion"...all it had to do with was whether or not the textile matched the color of her walls. I am an artist, I paint,I draw and make music,I like gardens and yes I love color because that to me is how God created this beautiful earth...but somehow because I am a man I am treated as if I am incompetent with color and artistic design whether it comes to framing art work, to helping a customer pick colors...I am not color blind and I even had a coworker say "Did you know 99 percent of men are colorblind?"...so there you have it, the flip side to sexism from people who claim to want equal rights that I know directly, not saying that everyone is like that but it goes both ways . I could care less about what was said, I just smile about it and let them do what it is they do but I can say that I do have some empathy for people like Emma Watson who expressed her passion to direct a play, its what she is good at and wants to do so why not? should I be labeled because I like color and art? God forbid me from planting a garden too...that would be oh so unmanly according to some women.

If you have let her know you were gay I'm sure she would have respected your opinion.

Actually since I believe true feminism means refusing to be a victim, I don't pay much attention to this junk. If someone is threatening to rape you...hunt them down and take them out. .

I think they were threatening to release pictures of her with jiz on her face.

We'll...don't have pictures taken with that on your face is all I have to say.

Whoa, she threw men a bone. Isnt she merciful? Sorry but these folks are not planning to do squat about it any of the things she just talked about concerning me, its still a women centric movement. We have know for eons that boy were lagging in language subjects but nothing has been done about it and on the other hand, the school systems are being overhauled to help women perform better in STEM fields. Scholarships, research, massive funds have been thrown at this problem and even more as women have been to surpass men in higher education.

Feminism is not about equal right, at least they could learn from the civil rights movement by asking for some affirmative action and reparation instead of insulting our intelligence by trying to fool us into thinking they are for equal rights.

[MelissaWV]

Way to miss the entire point. I don't want anyone to "do anything" in an institutionalized way. "Doing things" is what's $#@!ed things up to begin with. However, if people are going to whine about men's rights being trampled as some kind of warped reasoning for why no one should ever use the term "feminism" in a positive light, then perhaps they should read up on what they're discussing.

You are free to self-educate on the subject of language, and pass that knowledge to your sons or other young men in your community. I'm sure they will become rich once their language skills are perfected. The issue of STEM jobs is far greater than the idiotic patch of "helping girls succeed" will ever address. The schools in this nation are failing both genders when it comes to technical knowledge. Producing a mediocre batch of graduates where the females are slightly less mediocre than the males is not praiseworthy stuff.

If you would like to be sad over how there's not enough Government resources devoted to developing boys' skills, go for it. I would prefer they do less across the board.

But who the hell is Emma Stone?

[William Tell]

'She for he' sounds good

[juleswin]

The post I was replying to was one that gave the impression that since the feminist Emma Watson said a few token words about the struggles me face. That somehow that signified a shift in their agenda. I replied telling you that despite the few words about men, feminism and this re-branded version is still about doing stuff for women. This is still are not coming anything close to the dictionary definition of feminism which is the fight for equal rights for both men and women.

If I am still missing your point, I apologize, but please do tell me what was your original point.

Was my follow up question.

I actually know who Emma Watson is, though. Although I have never seen any of her movies.

(Relevance: go in to about the 5:19 mark and she does "All I Do Is Win," which is the soundtrack to one of the more awesome Ron Paul videos.)

I agree that the term "feminism" is quite ambiguous nowadays. I mean, you have everyone from the street-walking hooker, the cashier at the 7-11, the lonely housewife, the factory worker, the man-hating lesbian, the porn star who gets gang-banged on camera, the elementary school teacher, the RN, to the erudite college professor all claiming to be a feminist.

What is it? It offers no clear definition.

With that said: you sound like you've taken on a victim mentality. To claim that men are somehow a 'victim' of women or feminism is laughable. I agree that the educational system sucks- there is no reason why a kid who either will end up becoming a construction worker or mechanic or an electrician or a plumber being forced into a curriculum that preps them for higher education, and favors those with higher verbal IQs. That's not the fault of feminism, though.

Are there no vo-tech schools anymore? I think the Germans have it right.

Thank gawd I grew up in an era when men were men and women were woman. Thanks mom and dad for setting a good example!

I hope you 2 will be very happy together, she looks cute
