She must be so oppressed with all that cash.
[QUOTE=Beerminator;43250972]She must be so oppressed with all that cash.[/QUOTE] So, like, do you even understand the idea of oppression?
Its happening guys.
who gives the slightest fuck what anyone thinks of beyonce's new album
I once saw her in Austin Powers in Goldmember, that's all I know
[QUOTE=Vodkavia;43251093]Last I checked, he was trying so hard to be feminist that be became a little sexist himself.[/QUOTE] The thing that made me realise "maybe this dude needs help" is when he agreed with someone that men as a totality should be rounded up and punished to show them what is wrong. Even Max tells him to back the fuck down now. Truly terrifying.
[QUOTE=MaxOfS2D;43250767]I'm not sure why you're all "READY FOR A SHITSTORM" ? It doesn't seem to me that there's an outrage about this at all?[/QUOTE] Don't worry, we'll make one.
[QUOTE=LarparNar;43250851]Why are you guys making a controversy about the thread being doomed to end up in controversy? And since when was debating on an Internet forum so negative?[/QUOTE] lol 'debating' on SH I think we should have weekly shitstorms, every week with a new controversial topic like abortion and feminism, it'll order all the shitty opinions and terribad posters into one little hole and everyone can kind of watch and maybe throw some peanuts in. It's Fight Club for Facepunch.
[QUOTE=Jack Trades;43250847]Don't write his name or he'll see this thread.[/QUOTE] I hear that if you say his name 3 times while in-front of a mirror then he'll spawn right behind you and berate you because you were born with a gender that automatically oppresses other genders, even if being born into said gender wasn't your choice and that you've been a nice and understandable person your whole life.

[b]Even Max tells him to back the fuck down now.[/b] Truly terrifying.[/QUOTE] Sounds like straight-up nuthouse material. Probably started out as satire, until he himself started believing it.

[QUOTE=Heroku;43250756]as long as thisispain isn't here this can be a small shitstorm[/QUOTE] Wait, I missed the thisispain fiasco, what exactly happened?
[QUOTE=Clovernoodle;43251233]Wait, I missed the thisispain fiasco, what exactly happened?[/QUOTE] Thisispain happened.
i really dont care about people arguing about shitstorms or other facepunch member but the image used in the article is pretty hilarious [img]http://puu.sh/5STgw.png[/img] [img]http://puu.sh/5STkr.png[/img]
so listening to [url=http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x18hov0_beyonce-flawless_music]the song that samples the tedtalk[/url], it still has problems. the second half is good (and more entertaining to listen to) - the basic lyric is "i look so good tonight, i woke up like this" and she speaks about what her family told her growing up etc but the beginning is just "bow down bitches" on repeat. even in black feminist thought, that's not really okay - if targeting women, it's intentionally derogatory and basically self masturbatory, and if it's targeting men, it's belittling men with a pretty standard questioning of their manhood. the problem with this is that the song is trying to navigate "sexiness" which is extremely complicated. sexiness is a construct that tends to disempower a lot of women in multiple ways - by defining their worth by it, and by having such a restrictive set of criteria that makes a woman sexy. so if you're sexy, that's your defining characteristic. if you're not sexy to the high standard, that will negatively affect people's opinion of you. i think the intent of the song is to sort of reclaim sex for women as an absolute and to bring it to an equal footing with men, but there's a problem with the way that society perceives male sex in the first place anyway so it's not exactly productive
[QUOTE=Clovernoodle;43251233]Wait, I missed the thisispain fiasco, what exactly happened?[/QUOTE] Tried too hard to ram his views into someones face (like they always do) and ended up trolling and stirring up shit when it wasn't called for (as always)
smoke weed make love.
[QUOTE=Viper202;43251365]Tried too hard to ram his views into someones face (like they always do) and ended up trolling and stirring up shit when it wasn't called for (as always)[/QUOTE]I thought it was when he caused that guy who was going through a lot if shit to have a breakdown by going on about how privliged he is. Normally I think people give Thisispain shit, but that was way out if line.
[QUOTE='[Seed Eater];43251179']I need to bump up the fem-o-meter if I'm not on this list yet.[/QUOTE] You'd need to be in the "radical MegaFem" range in order to be noticed.
[QUOTE=Pelican;43250782]dont forget milkandcookie, yawmwen, lachzor and person11 oh and jeep-eep[/QUOTE] you realize you're pretty high on the list of the other extreme
[QUOTE=Venezuelan;43251452]you realize you're pretty high on the list of the other extreme[/QUOTE] He wants to be a jack-of-all-trades extremist.
[QUOTE=Heroku;43250803]There has never been a thread about feminism that hasn't gone without a shitstorm. This thread wouldn't be an exception. [editline]20th December 2013[/editline] Boy if only mods would do their job to prevent shitstorms :rolleyes:[/QUOTE] yea if that was the case you'd be permabanned by now

[QUOTE=Laserbeams;43251514]You want pre-2009 nazipunch back? Why?[/QUOTE] I'm getting mikfoz flashbacks never again
[QUOTE=Laserbeams;43251514]You want pre-2009 nazipunch back? Why?[/QUOTE] you wouldn't get such petty shitstorms that way
[QUOTE=Pelican;43250782]dont forget milkandcookie, yawmwen, lachzor and person11 oh and jeep-eep[/QUOTE] hey why am i not on this list :( also thisispain is fine stop
[QUOTE=Pelican;43250782]dont forget milkandcookie, yawmwen, lachzor and person11 oh and jeep-eep[/QUOTE] There isn't really anything to fight about though. I've been avoiding these threads like the plague since I graduated but came in here because seriously where could a shitstorm come from here. Beyoncé is awesome and should be the face of feminism of our generation.
