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…

I am sorry you lost me at patriarchy. Really this is the laziest argument in feminism period. And no we should not focus on women but focus on everyone. For example domestic violence. Women hit more often while men do more damage. both is terrible however there are almost no places for men to go. And the last guy who…

You ARE a feminist if you care about these things,

LOL! Right, because *equality* is for women only.

I find this conversation annoying, if someone doesn’t want to call themselves a feminist they are allowed to and people shouldn’t get upset about it. people on here want celebrities they like to identify as feminst, when a celeb who you guys don’t like call themselves you guys write tons of comments listing why that…

And Jezebel is not a feminist website. That is all :)

Exactly. Also, the part about the low ranking hyena’s cub being half the size of the alpha’s because those of high rank get EVERYTHING? It might be matriarchal, but it ain’t feminist.

I don’t think Jezebel is the best place to discuss the f word.

Social rank is so strongly related to food access that in one photograph of two six-month-old cubs sitting side by side, the cub born to the clan’s alpha female is twice as large as the other, who was born to a female ranked #19.

Incidentally, this quasi-misandrist social structure has the distinct advantage of reducing genetic bottlenecks when resources are scarce and populations plummet.

Either this is a great argument against “intelligent design” or God fucking HATES hyenas.

Exactly~~ Thank you!!!!

In the insect world, there are instances where the females have what is pretty much a legit penis with the flow rate reversed, males have a vagina-like structure, and sexual intercourse involves the female penetrating the males.

I was wondering this too. It seems like it also includes the tacit claim that power = body and behaviors resembling males.

As a man with a penis who has had a catheter, if being feminist meant growing a schlong and popping a baby through it, I would be like, “I for one welcome our new patriarchal oppressors. Would you flat chested, hairy troglodytes like a sandwich?”

For female hyenas, a lot happens through the clitoris—mating, urination, and even giving birth. Trying to put a penis inside a pseudopenis, or push a baby out a long, narrow clitoris, is unsurprisingly pretty challenging

Male Sea Horses Carry the young - most normal people accept this and are totally indifferent.

But did you see the bit where the pseudopenis is the fucking birth canal? That has to tear open in order for the baby to come out?!

GIVING BIRTH THROUGH CLIT. WHY EVOLUTION? WHY?

Since when has feminism meant that women had to be just like men???
