Serious / Re: Why I'm not a feminist (let's kill the myths, people)

Why be a feminist when you could just be an Equal Rights activist without all the stupid feminist baggage?
Because the two are mutually inclusive, which is my argument. I'm saying if you are an "equal rights activist", you have no choice but to be a feminist. You can choose not to identify as one, but don't say that you aren't one. It doesn't make any sense.

For me, feminism will always be, at its core, the same exact thing as egalitarianism, or the ideal that no person ought to be discriminated against solely for their gender, race, sexuality, etc. etc.
Sure, but feminism is explicitly active. It's a position of advocacy, not mere neutrality. Feminism has won, it's goal has been accomplished in the Western world. It's defunct.
We still have a duty, of course, to educate future generations about feminist/egalitarian ideals, though, do we not? That would be a great example of active feminism, I think. Disassociating the current stigma attached to feminism--that's part of what feminism is and will continue to be.

You can argue all day about wage gaps and the patriarchy and other nonsense all you want--but again, I just take umbrage with the pigeonholing. To say that you're not a feminist because you don't agree with a select few feminists is myopic at best, and just... ignorant bigotry at worst (because to reject feminism on its face is to reject equal rights--you can be a feminist and still argue with other feminists about pertinent issues regarding the philosophy).

So, if you're for equal rights, but don't identify as a feminist, to me, that's like someone who doesn't believe in god choosing not to identify as an "atheist".

Fact is, they are atheists, regardless of how they personally choose to identify themselves.

You might be able to say that you're not a "third wave" feminist with a little bit more confidence, but let's not pigeonhole the entire philosophy with people who are concerned about the petty issues that are bitched about on Tumblr.

To my right is my bag, which contains some heavy-ass books. And some food. So that's kinda nice, I guess.

« on: March 24, 2015, 12:34:46 PM »
Terribly sorry, man.

I lost my first cat in a similar way, many years ago.
Details may be too much for some.
Someone placed a bear trap on my porch one night, with a message reading "fuck your cat" tied onto it.

Though we never found the guy, he powered through his wounds for six months.

I know what it's like.
