What do you mean by "they shouldn't be made to stop?" Individuals criticizing something is not the same as the government banning something. We have every right to criticize a misogynistic and racist porn.

You mean Nordic people didn't think their mythological figures were ancient aliens?

Right?

Feminism can and should be intersectional. However, it is primarily a women's movement. It's the only movement that's asked to devote a significant amount of resources to the privileged class too. People don't and shouldn't ask anti-racism activists to devote resources to white people or LGBTQ activists to devote…

I agree with you but sadly even "meatless Mondays" met with backlash from right wingers who took umbrage at the thought of even going one day a week without meat. I find that bizarre because I eat meat probably 1-3 times a week without even thinking about reducing it. It's really not hard to go a day without it.

I'm not sure how the American levels of meat consumption could be sustained without factory farming.

The backlash has been building for awhile now. This just kind of took it to the boiling point.

One time a racist troll told me that it was offensive to cast Idris Elba as Heimdall in the Thor movies because it was appropriation of Nordic culture. I thought that was pretty hilarious. He then proceeded to tell me that I was a traitor to my people because I have Norwegian and Swedish ancestry and was not the…

I think the video made the point well that wearing an ethnicity as a costume is bullshit. However, I don't think a white party would actually be terribly offensive to white people because we're the privileged group. Poking fun at and stereotyping us just isn't that bad. I'd get no more offended at a white party…

People of any gender or sexual orientation can make poor choices due to sexual attraction. But Farrell is claiming that men are not the privileged group despite having the power, the money, the majority of seats in congress etc. because of oppression sexy butts. That's just ridiculous.

This is all the women's fault. They should have known better than to shower naked. If you don't want someone to take pictures you naked and distribute them, you should just never ever get naked.

Nice try, but no. The criticism of "the shirt" is that it added to the overall culture of hostility towards women in STEM fields. A culture that was in place long before an offensive shirt was worn. Nobody was ever arguing that the shirt by itself prevents women from working in STEM. I would expect a simple…

But having an athletic build doesn't make you a "bad boy." Joseph Gordon Levitt, Terry Crewes and Tom Hardy all seem like nice people. They haven't been in trouble with the law that I know of. They don't have reputations as out of control partiers or womanizers. A lot of men still buy into these one dimensional…

Uck. Perfect example of what I was talking about.

Having gone back into the article to read the comments that have been made since last night, I noticed that the top comment is this

only ones celebrated.

only ones celebrated.

only ones celebrated.

Yet they are far from the only men with progressive views on gender. Just the only ones celebrated.

If we acknowledge that misogyny is a cause of violence in and of itself we must also acknowledge that feminism is important and things still need to change. We can't have that now can we?
