Dumb women? It's like saying 'buttery butter'
Anybody top this, plz

Wet water.

Offtopic OWF members.

I don't know how gender equality is going over where all you guys are at but let me tell you, moving from a pretty liberal state to a really fucking conservative state in the U.S. a year or so ago has definitely convinced me that feminism is still completely necessary in the western world. Or, at least, the States. What else is new, though?

It kind of sickens me to actually see this level of sexism first hand. I can't even listen to the god damn radio or watch the news for an hour or so without hearing at least one thing that implies women are inferior in some way or another.

I just hate the "make me a sandwich" or "you belong to the kitchen" jokes... They are tiring. More than anything I hate when other girls defend these jokes just to seem like the cool one-of-the-guys type of girl. To me these jokes translate to nothing else than: You are worth nothing, girl. It irks me. x__x

I'm indifferent to them, the people who use them generally have no wit at all so it's interesting watching them make themselves look backwards and unoriginal in order to appear funny.

I reserve the right to say those things ironically.

I reserve the right to say your mom ironically.

I shudder to think of the kind of person who says it without irony.

Don't you see if I make those jokes, I can show to everyone how manly I am? If I make those jokes, all them girls will like mah virility and lay down on my feet for more of that. Or so a significant percentage of men think.

Redditors?

I don't like explaining the joke, but I didn't use inverted commas.

shudder

I know it's already been said but this kinda' sums it up.

I hope you don’t sincerely believe that’s what feminism is about.

“Ohmigosh those wimmenfolk want to rule the world!”

Makes all us would-be female dictators look bad.
Fuck your equality, fuck your feminism, I and I alone wish for special snowflake treatment.

I really hope that image is a joke though. I really do. Not even just your posting of it, but the idea that the person holding that sign believes that.

We don't actually know the context.

By the hipster glasses, I'd say she's saying it ironically.

Is that a CCTV camera on the back of her door?

Looks like some kind of prize ribbon to me.

Is it just me

Or does that kind of look like JG?

It is JG, that's why he hasn't been here for ages. He's been fighting for feminism.

That person in the photo is doing her cause more harm than good 'cause what she's saying is provocative. It's that way of thinking by some campaigners which makes me have mixed feelings about feminism - And I hate discrimination while supporting equality.

Not a lot gets done without provocation.

I hate equality when supporting discrimination.

... And this is why I'm mostly silent here. :P

True, but you risk damaging what you stand for when you act that way - Those who are clueless or neutral may even turn against you. It isn't a sensible way of doing stuff.

There's a thing in atheism going on between the sensitivity and firebrand, and it seems that there is room and need for both approaches. But no matter what you do you're never going to reach everyone and there are certain groups that you know you can write off as lost causes from the start. No matter what you do they'll be whining and complaining and there is simply no sense in wasting any grain of pearls on those particular swine.

the simple fact is, though, without provocation you are easy to ignore. And people will say "sure, we agree, we'll get to that" but nothing will ever happen. You have to make it consciously as much of an issue as it really is.

Self-righteous aggressive atheists are still as annoying as fuck though.

Self-righteous aggressive anything is annoying as fuck.

That's not what I'm talking about. I'm in the firebrand category above.

A self-righteous aggressive athiest?

Sounds half as vile as a pony fucker.

:( That's Ponophobic. It's simply another sexual orientation.
Anyway, not all athiests are like that. I respect people's beliefs, even though they are fucking stupid.

People should just not broadcast everything about themselves to people who don't give a fuck. To be entirely honest, I care very little about people I'm not friends or family with. Ergo, I don't give two shits whether they're LGBT, KKK, atheist or Zoroastrian.

Actually...I wouldn't mind hearing about a Zoroastrian.

Pretend he's joking even if he's not.

But he’s not funny.

I laughed.

But not in a good way.

I jerked off. In a good way.

You like that stuff? I've got some material, if you're interested.
