The "you disagree with me/i dislike you/i think you're stupid, therefore you're physically unattractive" thing remains completely ridiculous.
The constant panic over the feminist bogeyman has reached epidemic levels, people need to calm the fuck down over a vocal minority, no matter how dumb that minority might be.

So basically this guy thinks that if women act in a typically masculine way, their bodies are wired to make them ugly? Of all the anti-feminist crap online this has to be one of [I]the[/I] dumbest excuses to enforce rigid gender roles, basically "act girly and don't believe in feminism or you'll turn fat and ugly." The sad thing is people actually buy into this pseudoscientific horseshit.

The worst part about that copypasta is seeing it used to attack transgender people (e.g. how it's often used on reddit) and then seeing people turn around and defend it because "it's about otherkin not transgenderism even though it begins with 'I [b]sexually[/b] identify as an attack helicopter'"
In my first other sociology class (which I ended up dropping for economics) our primary teacher was introducing us to our secondary teacher who was a feminist writer type, he said "so miss your a feminist, can you tell us what you think a feminist is?" She says "put your hand up if you want gender equality" everyone in the class puts their hand up, and she says "well you're all feminists then."
That's been my take on it since then. We should shut up with this grr feminists grr stuff. They're radicals, they're separate and insane and in no way represent what feminism is.

feminism is a movement that started to give women equal standing to men. saying you're for gender equality but not feminism is basically saying "i think all genders should be equal, except women."
feminism [i]is[/i] gender equality. just because you don't like what some people who call themselves feminist say doesn't mean you should artificially create a distinction between the two nearly identical terms.
it's like saying that you believe in racial equality but you're not for civil rights and you wish people would stop conflating the terms. it's the same exact thing.

Basically what Aziz Ansari said.
[quote=Aziz Ansari]If you believe that men and women have equal rights, and then someone asks you if you're a feminist, you have to say yes. Because that's how words work. You can't be like, "Yeah, I'm a doctor who primarily does diseases of the skin." "oh, so you're a dermatologist?" "Oh that's way to aggressive a word, not at all, not at all."[/quote]
You cannot be pro-equality without being a feminist, since feminism is pro-equality by nature.

can someone explain the difference between feminism and egalitarianism to me
[QUOTE=Cloak Raider;48372993]can someone explain the difference between feminism and egalitarianism to me[/QUOTE]
As far as I can tell there honestly isn't one. I kinda consider Egalitarians feminists who feel uncomfortable using the name for whatever reason, which is totally fine to do, but maybe a little strange.

Feminism is a subcategory of egalitarianism.

[QUOTE=Cloak Raider;48372993]can someone explain the difference between feminism and egalitarianism to me[/QUOTE]
egalitarianism is an 18th century idea issued from the enlightenment that challenged the ordering of human society along medieval, divine, absolutist, physiocratic lines that preceded democracy or any notion of modern civil rights whatsoever, although it anticipated them, and it historically failed to include women in practice
feminism is a movement that originated in women's suffrage movements in the 19th century in the context of great the democratic and revolutionary movements of the time

It's the only modern one specifically pertaining to the equality of women, hence why being pro-women's rights equals being feminist. Being fiscally conservative doesn't equal being a Nazi because there are far more then just Nazis who are fiscally conservative.

I would believe this, but it really seems like to you, any woman who's vocally feminist is "Militant".
