As part of looking for that I found this other image that touched me in my soul:

Decent answer, all things considered.

Thanks, I think. ;)

I'm a big proponent for egalitarianism. Regardless of race, sex, etc. we should all be treated with respect and have the same rights. But the loudest feminists have gone overboard in trying to paint the world as a giant conspiracy against women when it simply isn't true anymore. Despite the feminist propaganda that says otherwise, the gender pay gap is all but gone. About all we're left with is "People were mean to me on the internet because I'm a girl!"

No it's not. Feminism had morphed into a disgusting idea, based on a bunch of wealthy children screaming PATRIARCHY as loud as they can because their life isn't the fairy tale they think they deserve.

yes, it is. feminism is about equality for everyone, regardless of gender or color. it started off as just wanting equality for women, but then, as more diversity entered this country and women were sympathizing with the women of other races, they could also sympathize for men of other races, too, because oppression from white males was apparent.

don't try and make radical feminism the same thing as feminism. they're totally different.

LOL, you so funny!

Also, stop triggering me with your micro-aggressions.

So the situation on US college campuses, feminism or radical feminism?

The situation? Link concrete examples, and, as a strong proud lesbian trapped in a man's body -- I can't help myself, I just love me some wet, willing pussy -- I'll answer.

You know . . . instead of just one lazy answer to a sloppy, overreaching generality.

You scare me perk. :eek:

I'll look for some examples but I don't think it'll paint a good picture.

Lol, let me try and help you out here.

If you're talking about the "PC language" thing -- some is painfully awkward but long overdue, and some crosses the line into fussy ridiculousness.

If you're talking about the "No means no" stuff -- on balance, this is simply the way to go. And I say that as a former horny young male who well knew the whole "Stop, don't, stop, don't . . . don't stop" dynamic.

We on the same planet here, hombre?

Yes, much better.

I think I have a bit of difficulty determining political ideology from radical feminism. Perhaps because the two seem intertwined from my perspective. (I was born, raised and still living on a Caribbean Island so American politics is weird to me.)

When I read op-eds (seems like these are the only places topics like this are discussed) like this one, it boggles my mind that this is actually happening.

I'm interested to see how this plays out over my lifetime if it continues, and what effects it'll have on the US and possibly the world.

I frequent "The Guardian" as a resident troll and often call out the rabid feminists ... calling them "Man Haters" ... I find this satiates my pathetic existence. I adopt the "Thunderman" approach ... post and run ... then return a few days later to look at the carnage.

Wow, when I got to here:

Ms. Byron and some fellow task force members secured a meeting with administrators. Not long after, Brown’s president, Christina H. Paxson, announced that the university...

I was alarmed. But what Brown's president allowed:

...would hold a simultaneous, competing talk to provide “research and facts” about “the role of culture in sexual assault.”

Was a sane, inclusive response.

The bolded by the student below is the worst of the true believer, however. Anything a true believer wants to do is justified because only they hold the truth.

KATHERINE BYRON, a senior at Brown University and a member of its Sexual Assault Task Force, considers it her duty to make Brown a safe place for rape victims, free from anything that might prompt memories of trauma.

So when she heard last fall that a student group had organized a debate about campus sexual assault between Jessica Valenti, the founder of feministing.com, and Wendy McElroy, a libertarian, and that Ms. McElroy was likely to criticize the term “rape culture,” Ms. Byron was alarmed. “Bringing in a speaker like that could serve to invalidate people’s experiences,” she told me. It could be “damaging.”

But, again, the university handled it absolutely, 100% well. Nobody was muzzled; everyone was heard.

Now, say, at Bob Jones University, if a student demanded an alternate speaking space to counter a Creationist coming to lecture, not only wouldn't they get it, they'd probably be expelled.

My profs in college, to the extent they revealed their political leanings at all, were all probably somewhere left of center, but every single one of them respected a well supported argument, no matter its origin or drift. We were challenged to think for ourselves, back it up, and then express it.

True. The wife is gone for the weekend so I said, "Sushi bar and the home stripper pole, ftw." My 14 yo was with me at the time. He grinned like a kid in a candy store and the wife scolded me. WTH?

No true Scotsman fallacy.

The "those aren't real feminists" claims only come up when trying to shut down any mentions of men's issues. "no no guys, really, they care about you too! though they publicly fight against you for things like equal custody or civil services"

Exactly! Just like you can't distinguish the Westboro Baptist Church from the Quakers, no one can distinguish radical feminists from feminists.

All Christians are the same, just like feminists! :rolleyes:

This is what Google hath wrought, Google Scholars who now confidently misuse popular logical terms without any true grounding in Logic.

ya, you're just doubling down now without actually refuting what I say.

MAINSTREAM feminism is anti-equality. Plugging your ears and reciting the "those aren't real feminists!" doesn't make the problem go away.

Aren't those ISIS guys some kind of Men's Rights organization as well?

And Perks, just because there aren't enough women CEOs doesn't mean it has to be. Affirmative action doesn't apply here. If the person sucks, it doesn't mean we have to choose that person to satisfy an arbitrary quota.
