Oh I love the humanism "argument". It basically boils down to "yes, yes, I support social justice and all, just let's not talk about it".

The Dark Heart of Feminism is insulting comments online. Oh how hard it is to be a man, I don't know how you go through each day.

We have government subsidised childcare in my country. It's pretty neat, it allows women to go to work. Oh wait, that's exactly what you don't want, isn't it? Female competition at work? I think I just got the bottom of your dissatisfaction.

Well they can still bake pies and clean and shit, can't they? Someone has to pick up after old dudes too.

I think it's fun. It's making him construct arguments and post links and wasting his time. I like it.

You really need to read up on feminist history. The backlash was a million times worse in the 70s, and it had law and public opinion on its side. The worst is behind us, you're just the final throes of a retrograde ideology that's dying its natural death.

So you're saying there are enough feminazis out there to make Time go back on their brave attempt AND apologise to them? Good.

Sure, you tell yourself that. In fact the visibility of anti-feminists is nothing more than a reflection of the actual and real impact of feminist thought and activism in the world. If we weren't making any waves, your lot wouldn't be whining as loudly over it.

Bitterly jealous here.

She really is extraordinarily cute.

No, the point is, gender inequality and violence against women is manipulatively used to further a colonialist and racist agenda and I detest that.

Fair enough, you're probably more acquainted with his work than I am. But his comments, as cited here, as detestable in my opinion, and there's also this one time when he called Sarah Palin a cunt, so I'm not convinced he's very far ahead on the anti-misogyny front.

My point is not that though. It's that this type of white liberal person only ever seems to care about women's plight of any sort when it's a non-western person or culture that's perpetuating it. My point is, it's not genuine concern, it's a manipulative use of the concept of women's rights for a colonialist and…

Of course there are other factors involved! Like culture, history and political situation. Actually believing that everything that's happening in the name of Islam in various parts of the world is 100% due to pure, unadulterated religious dogma inherent in the very tenets of Muslim philosophy, showcases enormous…

Amen.

I detest the use of women, women's rights and feminism to further a colonialist agenda. And it's not just Bill Maher, it's a lot of people and governments in the West. They couldn't give a shit when it's women under their nose that are suffering, but if it's a woman suffering at the hands of a Muslim (or another…

Yup. Religion is just one of many excuses.

"Bully for you"? That's rich from someone complaining about people not respecting women's choices.

My name is not my father's name. It's the name I've always had and the name under which I've done everything in my life. It's my name. I'm sick of this half-baked argument because it just seems like it's designed to downplay the harder choice to buck tradition, sometimes in the face of some hostile opposition, and…
