I find that with a lot of MRAs, they genuinely do not believe that there is any sort of equality between the genders. They tend to use very pseudo-scienfitic babble to justify this. I also notice that a lot of MRAs fail to realize that they are actually sitting in positions of privilege.

I actually got into an interesting discussion with fortheloveofbeets on this...due to an interesting discussion I was having elsewhere. It’s occurred to me that modern feminism, while at its core still defined by the issue of equality between the sexes, is much more about social justice in general. The reason I say…

Oh yes, as my husband was talking to the boy I went over to my daughter to assure her what that kid did was not okay especially because he was way bigger/older than her, and that it had nothing to do with her. Later on my husband reinforced it. I really don’t want to get across the message that all exploration is bad,…

I don’t like the “if you’re for gender equality, you’re a feminist” because for me to be a feminist is to be an activist or working to make men and women equal and on the other hand I can understand how someone might not identify as a feminist if they aren’t involved in that

It’s VERY annoying. I usually just disengage and won’t even bother unless I know the person well enough to know they are capable of understanding the words I am saying and they are capable of changing their position. Otherwise it’s just way too fucking frustrating.

It’s the “egalitarian” argument and I’ll be goddamned if I’ll be a part of it. Here’s a great gif for MRA trolls online. I hope I kinja this correctly:

I hate that argument SO much because it’s based off the idea that “men and women are equally unequal” (someone actually told me that and then when I was like that’s stupid male privilege is a thing they told me that “everyone loses the oppression Olympics” which is annoying) and I just want to shoot everyone because…

I really hate this argument. It reduces feminism so much that it becomes meaningless, and leaves me wondering why people are so invested in identifying with something that stands for nothing. By this understanding, almost everyone is a feminist already (save for a small population of religious conservatives) - so then…

Right... what separates the two groups is that one of them actually IS an oppressed class, and the other group has shit-tons of privilege.
And I’m not actually sure the majority of MRAs believe men and women should be equal. I avoid their shit out of habit because it’s fairly enraging, but from what I’ve seen they seem…

omg I hate this debate. I’m a feminist and proud of it.

Ugh, need to vent. SUCH a shitty day, and one single thing ruined it: My husband and I took our daughters (5 year-old and almot 4-year-old) to the park to play. There was a boy by himself (his mother or sitter or nanny was sitting in her car, away from the kid, who must’ve been at least 10 years old) who invited them…

Except all those things you just described that feminism is about besides equality are sub-issues of women being unequal to men. They fall under the heading of equality. Saying it is about gender equality is very simple, yes, and a more in-depth description can be nice. But it’s definitely not inaccurate or anything.

One of the projects girls in my non-profit program had to complete is to create a social justice-y club and market/host it online (it’s a bitchin’ information technology curriculum and this is the unit on safely using social networks to improve your community). One group of 7th graders wanted to make a “FEMpowerment”…

I think at a certain point you just have to give up on those people. The whole, “why do we call it feminism if it’s about equal rights?!” argument is basically the same logical basis as “but why just #blacklivesmatter?” Or “why is there no white entertainment television?” (Or the “Mommy why does he get to open…

Soooo.. I really don’t like the whole “if you’re for equality, you’re a feminist” argument. Feminism is about equality, but its a bit more than that. If we’re at a point where the definition of feminism is thinking that men and women are equal then I’m not really sure that its worth much anymore. Boiling down feminism…

That is a very common debate. I actually got into an argument about that with one of my close guy friends (he eventually conceded that yes, he is a feminist, but he still thinks it should be called something else because the name is misleading and because it has so many negative (and wrong) connotations now). I…

That really drives how purely this is about bullshit “modesty” culture (which is just another word for rape culture). It has nothing to do with the actual child’s body—just as you say, your daughter’s body is only considered wanton and slatternly when people realize she’s a girl. The exact same body is perfectly…

There is a horrible picture (as they all are) of me. I am in a swimsuit and my 2 year old daughter who is throwing a tantrum is only in her swim diaper. My wife took the picture of us from my chest up. So, the picture is of me attempting to smile while holding my crying daughter and it looks like we’re both naked. My…

Can you imagine how utterly batshit it would be if in the process of getting your asskicked a tiger just pounced in from literally nowhere and teleported out just as fast?

Virtual desktops have been available for Windows since XP. Better terminal? For who? Not everyone and it doesn't belong in an OS for desktops as not everyone uses them the same. Intelligent voice assistant? ON A PC?!? No, that is for mobile.
