| Feminism, like many things, is just something that's lost it's meaning and defined by various people as things that could be universes apart based on person to person. And depends by what you mean by "media" because movie, games and tv show wise they're usually hot kickass action chicks who can run the world, while youtube wise, twitter and articles on the internet is where you get the type of feminists being displayed you're talking about. I watch Sargon on youtube sometimes, so maybe stuff like that is what you mean, but he fights important issues. |

| There tends to be a tendency in special interest groups these days to shoot for superiority instead of equality. This mentality isn't always the major consensus of a special interest group, but the squeakiest wheels tend to ask for the most grease. I've considered myself a feminist for a long time, and I do wish women's rights were upheld on the same level as men's, and that likewise, men were also considered more carefully in cases like child custody hearings and taken more seriously in spousal abuse claims than our society and court system does now. Most girls (and yes, if you're 21 or under to me, you're still a girl, just like 21 year old boys are boys) walking around a college campus would balk at my claims of feminism because I'm actually encouraging equality, they'd also spout off a wage statistic that's been taken out of context and regurgitated so often that it's taken on face value as fact so often that it comes up in political hearings. They're also most likely victims of abuse from a father figure or frat boy, which is where their misplaced 'feminist' rage actually comes from. I sympathize with them, men are pigs, but just saying so isn't really feminism.
Do special interests come from a place of anger and oppression? Yeah, of course they do, but screaming about castrating a guy whom offers to open a door for you out of a sign of respect that actually, ironically enough, is more of a gesture of submission to the female gender than a social commentary on their weakness, is different than the message of these women's fore mothers (most of which they can't even name without flipping up a phone and searching suffrage movement or Riot Grrrl when it pops up in conversation) set out to preach through protest, music, and writing.
Plain and simple, the 3rd wave's left the shore and all that's left is misunderstood relics and perverted backwash from anonymous sources that shouldn't be anonymous to the feminazi's preaching it.
My suggestion? Ditch tumblr and college if you want to avoid most of this bullshit 'activism'. |

| Feminism is just one of the many distractions from the real problems of the world today. There is no glaring inequality in our society between genders, there ARE double standards but the amount of double standards check and balance each other out, and radical feminism almost causes a placebo effect in making society appear to be more sick than it is. Or, sick in the wrong place, except this case psycho feminists are doing the equivalent of treating a sore knee like a broken leg while ignoring two broken arms.
The fact that we cant get past these 5th rate social problems and devote more attention to far more pressing matters is my biggest issue. Why cant people put the same attention they give feminism, meninism, etc into politics, climate change, economics, criminal banks, corrupt politicians, the right to whistleblowers security, holding public officials to their word, police brutality and etc? Devoting all of this time into worrying about microaggressions and "rape culture" when there are all these other problems is the equivalent of having a major-requirement college course on coloring books. It's an inane, childish, appalling, abhorrent waste of time, money, and attention. |
