They aren't.

"the advocacy of women's rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men."

[Dude]

I thought I explained it pretty well on Skype.

Apparently I was wrong.

[mikey]

dunno why you thought that, given you didn't really respond to my argument other than saying "No" and "then you're a ****"

[braix]

Feminism is stupid because everyone hates each other anyway regardless of gender.
This isn't worth discussing here. Let me change the topic

No, that's assault. As it would be if you were to punch a male or a third/transgender person.
If someone punches you, you have every right to defend yourself regardless of their gender.

[6:40:56 PM] Emcee Mikey: fine, I'll throw ice in every girl's face from now on

[6:41:09 PM] Emcee Mikey: you're implying it
[6:41:10 PM] It's me, Dude!: i'm saying treat everyone equal
[6:41:19 PM] Emcee Mikey: yeah, and what if I throw ice in every dude's face
[6:41:41 PM] It's me, Dude!: that's fine as long as you throw it in everyone's face
[6:41:45 PM] Emcee Mikey: cool
[6:42:01 PM] It's me, Dude!: i don't get what's so hard to understand
[6:42:05 PM] Emcee Mikey: when I get stopped by an officer who received complaints about disturbances I'll tell him you said so

[6:42:35 PM] Emcee Mikey: then he'll let me continue chucking ice in everybody's face, I'm sure of it

Friendly reminder:

- No racism, sexism, or any other form of discrimination

[Dude]

I give up.

He's not worth this frustration.

[SlowPokemon]

so uh
why is FEMINIsm trying to be more MASCULINE

Feminism is the pursuit of equal rights to men. There's nothing masculine about that. The reason there is no movement for men's rights is because we live in a male-dominated society and we don't need one.

No. You're not justified to punch anyone. Why would you want to punch a girl? Physical violence is not okay for anyone.

Feminism isn't saying that women don't want men to treat them well. It's saying they want to be treated as equals, not as inferior and certainly not as a separate species which is what you talk about them as if they were.

Your concept of "femininity" is a traditional one, i.e., dated, offensive, narrow-minded, and sexist. What it means to be a woman isn't determined by gender norms or traditional "femininity."

Thank you

Friendly reminder

Nobody's being racist or sexist. We're openly discussing the values of Feminism.

- Calm debates on politics, religion, etc will be tolerated

[Dude]

Good luck Slow

1) I'm totally for women in the same job/political/etc. positions as men and that they should have equal opportunities as far as the state goes.  When talking about social norms though, I think a guy should treat a woman with more respect than he does to other guys-  women are important people.

2)

well then if you don't assault your friends on a daily basis you don't have friends

3) That's a given, but you guys make it sound like they don't want to be treated as superior either.
3.1) Women ARE a separate species though   (THAT WAS A JOKE I SWEAR IF YOU DIDN'T GET THAT YOU HAVE ISSUES)
4) traditional, yeah, dated, yeah, offensive, doubt it, narrow-minded, most likely, sexist, eh, if racism is giving all black people 100k then racism is a pretty good thing

honestly guys I'm talking about the word feminism
like it's got feminine right in it regardless of what your lmgtfy link says.  Sheesh.
