Whining about where the negative connotation came from doesn’t make it go away. Attacking the messenger reinforces the maritime that you Te a bunch of authoritarian assholes.

Are you kidding me? Kim Kardashian said in Rolling Stone that you could call her a feminist and commenters shit all over her and wrote a ton of comments about why she wasn’t a feminst. You guys want celebs you like to identify as feminst, lets keep it real.

Our society is so obsessed with absolutes. The minute you say you are a feminist, people think you don’t care about minority or transgender rights. It’s the “all or nothing” mentality that really holds every movement back.

Almost entirely based in misogyny? Hahahaha, what a joke... Misogyny and homophobia are related - probably cousins, but I can guarantee that the former does not cause the latter.

The conversation absolutely should encompass more, but you’re not going to get anyone to march under the banner of Humanism, if only because it is too broad and unfocused to lead to meaningful action. Humanism is about as useful a term as Social Justice- nice in conversation, but in the end you still need to identify…

So feminism has a massive messaging problem, and the response to feminist is to attack people who don’t want to be labeled feminist..major double fail people. Calling someone stupid, telling them that they really are what they don’t want to identify with or other wise attacking is fitting in nicely with the “feminists…

Equal pay isn’t just a feminist issue though, if your not a white man you aren’t getting fair pay. when you bring race into you see the whole picture, which on here people like to ignore race because it shows that white women make more than Black, Hispanic and Native Men.

You have a large number of prominent people who self identify as feminists and are assholes. People do not want to be associated with such a movement.

Not according to modern Feminism. They make fun of egalitarian all the time, even call them MRA and other bullshit insults when they disagree with their opinions. That is why modern feminism is stigmatized. If you want to Feminism to be taken seriously again do something about these people that pollute the internet…

I don’t really care about labels and how people label themseleves. I care about what they do, what they think, and how they vote. Well I don’t really care about celebrities and what they think so much.

How many times do you hear a wealthy person get asked, ‘How do you do it all?’ If I’m asked that question one more time... .

Great. I like Sarah Jessica Parker. For me too feminism is outdated ideology that needs to be replaced with humanism. There is a reason why only less than 20% of Americans identify as Feminists. The word has been stigmatized by modern Feminism.

Apparently, it doesn’t apply when speaking about a republican. Which is more than a bit hypocritical. Also, he has lots like 100 plus pounds, so even though I never want to see him as president, I applaud the fact that he is obviously really trying to be healthier.

Yeah, he's terrible, but—NO FATSHAMING, FOR FUCK'S SAKE. Isn't the whole point of having a corrosively divided political landscape to act better than your opponent?

In this case we have a toilet full of them. Every post about Christie on Gawker Media is full of fat jokes from supposed progressives. It’s not like there isn’t anything else to make fun of that asswipe about.

There’s so much to choose from re: Chris Christie. His low approval rating, the abysmal Jersey economy, his obvious lack of ethics, just off the top of my head. Don’t go for the fat shaming.

Yes! Wtf! I am a white woman and I should be reminded every goddamned day about this. Because otherwise I have the luxury of living my life pretending there isn’t a problem.

Did they also print the names of all black males under 21 murdered by other black males in places like Chicago or Baltimore? Or does that not fit with their political agenda? Let us not discriminate against murders perpetrated by any person, whether those are police officers or not.

“I’m not racist I don’t need this”

Rachel Dolezal should get moving on this immediately.
