A feminist said WHAT? - General

[video=youtube;JJGZM2jtMpg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJGZM2jtMpg[/video] Tfoot is back to feminism

Obviously that girl has issues

I don't like hearing the term "feminism/feminist" - it doesn't sound like it's even in the english dictionary so why act like it exists? Come to think of it... I don't think I've ever heard anyone in Australia say the word feminist.

Yeah around here we call it "not being a dick"

It's really sad that people like her exist, she's hurting her own cause and poisoning everything else while she's at it. But her cause is probably something completely different.

I really wish people who say shit like that wouldn't call themselves feminists or egalitarians.

can we please have a 'no thunderf00t videos' rule for this subsection. his videos are abysmally ill-formed and rely on the worst aspect of his most common talked-about subject to gain false attention.

imagine spending all your time trying to find new ways to rag on feminism and make bad videos about it imagine being that guy lmao

always sounds like he can't breath through his nose.

Is there a secret war between atheists and feminists I don't know about?

[QUOTE=Raidyr;44304313]Is there a secret war between atheists and feminists I don't know about?[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]Atheism Plus [URL="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Atheism%20Plus"] UD[/URL] A bunch of frauds. Despite having atheist in its name it really isn't atheism at all. Their goal is to subvert atheism with the religion of feminist indoctrination and bitch about non existent misogyny. To these people any legitimate questioning of feminists and female privilege is grounds for calling anyone a misogynist. Atheism Plus is really nothing more then an attempt at co-opting the meaning of atheism.[/QUOTE] [IMG]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/rainbow.png[/IMG]

why are you using urban dictionary, it's generally a horrid reference source.

[QUOTE=Rangergxi;44304458]Whats so about the guy? Besides you disagreeing with him.[/QUOTE] His voice is annoying and his videos are generally pretty low quality. Preferably don't want to see him banned but really just ignored like the Amazing Atheist finally did.

I don't see how anything he said was wrong or misleading, so unless you just don't like his voice then you have no real reason to attack his video, you're just attacking him as a person, which isn't cool either. I guess there's a new bandwagon of people thinking feminism is the new [I]"thing"[/I] because it's provocative or whatever. If you believe in equality for all people, you're an egalitarian and not a feminist. They're two separate entities.

[QUOTE=Rangergxi;44304458]Whats so bad about the guy? Besides you disagreeing with him.[/QUOTE] Well there was the whole incident with freethought blogs with him. [URL]http://freethoughtblogs.com/dispatches/2012/08/10/thunderfoots-unethical-obsession/[/URL] Also most of his arguments tend to be about belittling the person/group he is arguing about.

[QUOTE=Valnar;44304708] Also most of his arguments tend to be about belittling the person/group he is arguing about.[/QUOTE] Freethought blogs isn't really something worth standing up for.

I've watched a few of his videos. He brings up some decent points at times but he has a nasty habit of aiming at one or two easy targets and applying the examples he made of his targets to the entire feminist movement. "This woman said that people's balls shrivel up, therefore the entire feminist movement is without merit." He also likes to recycle arguments and clips a lot. This woman he picks apart in this video? He used the same exact clips and arguments in other videos. And each time he repeats it like 3 or 4 times in the same video because he has a poor grasp of editing.

[QUOTE=Rangergxi;44304769]Freethought blogs isn't really something worth standing up for.[/QUOTE] I'm not standing up for it though? I'm just pointing out one reason why people would dislike thunderf00t.

He made really good points in his other video [video=youtube;VwKKi7ApP4I]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwKKi7ApP4I[/video] biotruths If feminists want to be taken seriously, they really need to fight these people to stop using feminism in this way.
