Want to know what I dislike most about feminism?

[Dave80]

Stereotypes?

"all men are pigs, all men are rapists, men don't care about their kids, only men are perpretrators and only women are victims, all men eat children etc etc"

Some feminists even want men to take responsibility for the actions of rapists and apologize for them.

Well the reality is everyone is different and unique. Some men are pigs but some aren't, but some feminists just love tarring everything with the same paintbrush don't they?

I agree with the "don't bother to engage seriously" POV.

Why should we?

Dave isn't interested and life is short. "Oh but you'll look bad to people who think feminists are like that anyway"... well er, tbh, I don't care about looking bad in front of people for whom I have very little respect. If you are so lazy that you stereotype a whole group of people on the basis of their political opinions, then I'm not going to bust a gut trying to impress you. What would be the point? You'd only forget that once ages ago, someone who you think might have been a feminist, said something that made some sense.

It might bust the 'feminists have no sense of humour' stereotype at least! This was an accusation that was thrown at me the other evening by a man.

Oh come on BoF. Ridiculing the educationally challenged Dave is one of my few pleasures in life.

[sethstarkaddersmum]

nah Jess they'll just tell us we have no sense of humour in the same post as complaining about us being childish

I think life is too short to worry about what the random troll thinks ie engage seriously. It is not too short to have fun at their expense though (another one here with few pleasures in life I'm afraid )

The OP has a very unreconstructed view of feminists, does he not?
