"I do think that the word is far more unpalatable to most men than virtually all of the ideas the word represents."

I don't think you phrased yourself correctly. You like that it's loaded, because that means it's still needed. This implies that you like that it's still needed. Personally, I wish it wasn't needed.

That's not even close to the beginning of the word.

No true Scotsman fallacy.

Feminism has had a negative connotation in the broad culture long before 1996. Feminism is not a new thing and neither is the negative reaction to it.

Not within your mind, but that is the perception within culture, and you're being foolish to not recognize that.

Hmm? I use the term "female" when I want to talk about all females. When a topic affects young girls and adult women, that's the best term to use, I think. What's the problem?

You just compared the feminist movement to the Republican party. Seriously?

Jezebel never identifies itself as a feminist blog. It's audience generally is and they often post articles about feminism, but this is not a feminist blog and the site is keen to remind you of this fact.

"Feminists do not focus exclusively on women. Feminists address gender issues."

Started to gain negative connotations? There's been a fringe element that brought negative connotations since FOREVER. Ok, maybe that's an exaggeration, but there's definitely been a negative connotation during my whole life and I was born in the 80s.

You sound racist.

Yeah!

You say you're against classism and then in the next sentence go on to negatively pre-judge men who may need to live with their parents just to get by? You know that's often a socioeconomic problem more than anything, right? Not all young men living with their parents are doing so because they want to be living with…

I've been surprised at how viable the characters all seem. I'm not on pro level or anything, but it seems that any character can be good if the player knows how to handle it. I don't think we'll ever have any obvious tier list that is basically universally agreed upon this time, especially since they're patching the…

Lucas was basically a Ness clone. They could have EASILY made a Lucas skin for Ness like they did with Olimar, Bowser Jr., etc. They did not. They could have made Lucina a skin for Marth, but the differences in skills/stats/balance made them make her a separate character.

Maybe we just need to get stabby/murdery ourselves.

I think people are more willing to accept "mentally ill homeless person stabs an innocent person for no good reason" versus "some jerk stabs an innocent person over his right to objectify and offend women".

The weirdest thing of all is that Republicans always claim to want smaller government and less regulation. What do they think all of this talk about keeping immigrants out and deporting people is? It takes a big government with lots of regulation to keep brown people out. Ugh.

There are plenty of racist assholes in the younger generations too. Especially in the right places. See, these ignorant jerks have children and indoctrinate them. Perhaps our society is trending toward more racial fairness, but it's not moving very quickly in that direction.
