What are the best short responses to someone who also declares having seen it that they are not a feminist? My blood boils but I want to be clever and considered in what I say in response.....

I know. I know. She says she can't be a feminist because she wants men to have their corner fought for them too. She doesn't get that the reason she will be taken seriously if she was raped or the reason she can go to a safe house if she needs one is because people have stood for the cause of vulnerable women over time.

One of my fb friends (male) shared that video and asked for brutal and honest opinions. I don't think he was expecting mine. I saw my arse I'm afraid.

If more men are raped in prisons then that's still men who are committing rape. That's what feminists are combatting, the perpetrators of rape. Who ate overwhelmingly men. Their victims become other men when women aren't around.

I saw it. I commented on FB as follows:

This video clip can be summed up as "I am not a feminist because I have failed to understand both feminism and statistics."

Just where are all these women who have received more lenient sentences than men for comparable crimes? Just where are all these women who are instantly believed when they talk about having been raped?

Smile I like it alex

Here is an article addressing some of the things she says, but I think it is just as worthwhile copying alex when someone posts it and agrees

Yes why are men not campaigning against male on male violence? Or are they looking blank faced at women expecting them to take up this as well?
Men being raped in prison is terrible but its nothing to do with feminism. Not our circus,not our monkeys.

I bet that Lauren Southern looks back on this video in ten years time and cringes at her own naivety and ignorance. At least, I really, really hope she does.
