How difficult can it be? I’ve already said early feminism and I also said on paper feminism looks fine but the way it’s implemented is all about making men feel they are not wanted. Don’t believe me? You really need me to find documentation for that? You don’t think it’s true? Even you know it’s true.

Oh so sorry I had an opinion to give. So much for letting people be whatever they want, hub? Guess that's out the window didn't it?

Oh suck it. You can twist what I said to fit whatever you want. Yes, I really meant she could have prevented this. He was going to kill her. I matter what. But I bet if YOU had been there to preach to him about feminism this never would have happened, right?

No, feminism is not stopping any of that. Not dating an asshole is how you stop that. Not being a victim and staying away from situations like that is what stops that. You’re not gonna change some fuck up by demanding he join your political group.

No feminism is never going to trump upbringing, core values, familial ties, or inherent sociopath or psychopath tendencies. People don’t respond to being told what to do as adults. Especially as young adults, they are more likely to rebel. Children have to be taught at an early age that you don’t hit women and that

No idea what you’re referring to.

So what does that have to do with anything? Sorry your country sucks., but it's not a dig on me because you don't drive. What's your point?

There is someone who said she follows the tenants of feminism and what a guiding light it’s been in her life and if only the guy who killed this girl would have known about feminism he would have written her a letter instead of killing her. Because feminism can do that. You haven't read the whole post if you didn't

See? Just by saying that and demanding to know why I’m not part of your movement is in itself against what you are supposed to stand for. You don’t get to make demands like that on anyone. You fail to see why I would reject that? Do you see you're demanding, oh be whatever you want, but it better be one of us is

I never watched the West Wing so I don’t know anything about who you’re talking about. I’m not a member of any political party either. Acting like feminism is a cure all for murderers is ridiculous. That’s been my point the whole time. Be whatever you want, but don’t act like any social movement is going to trump

That’s not what I’m talking about. Like I said, this guy would have been a killer no matter what. That’s been my whole point. Acting like if he would have been a feminist he wouldn’t have killed her is ridiculous. You don’t need that to teach you not to kill someone.

WTF are you talking about? You’re making ridiculous leaps about what I’m saying. Have a nice day.

Again, zero relevance to what I said. I know you’re trying to act all aloof and above it all, because that makes it easier. Fine with me.

That has zero to do with what I said and even less to do with what you quoted me saying. I don’t know why you bothered answering.

You know that post about women not needing men was no joke. Feminism always sounds fine on paper, but in practice it becomes so exclusionary. No one driving by that burning car did a damn thing to help this girl. That’s a human issue, men and women are responsible. Feminism didn’t save this girl and the guy wouldn’t

That’s fine. But the very idea that feminism is somehow some panacea to stop a murderer is just not true. This guy clearly has issues and feminism wasn’t going to change that. If he was gay and killed his gay male lover in the same way, would feminism have made a difference? No it wouldn’t. Now it’s like you’re trying

Can you quote where I said anything you’re accusing me of? You can’t. It’s astounding to me how wrong you are. And I’m a girl. Why don’t you read what I actually said and try again.

That’s not true in the least. Feminism isn’t a moral compass. It’s not powerful enough to overrule a persons’ personality or upbringing. The idea that, oh if only he was a feminist, would have helped her or kept her alive is ridiculous.

Do you really think this was just some simple mistake and if only he had respected women he would not have done this? WRONG. He’s a psychopath and joining some feminist march wasn’t going to change that. You’re delusional if you think some political belief can trump that kind of psychology. He chose what he did

If someone hates women, that’s a personal issue, not a political belief. You don’t have to be a feminist to treat everyone equally. Even on this post about this story. Someone suggested women are better without men. How is that not devaluing someone else regardless as to them being men or women?
