Oh yeah? When's the last time you saw a feminist complaining about the way women are treated in third world countries, or actually doing anything about it? That's right, you don't, because they only care about themselves and the minuscule problems they face.
Stupid sweeping generalisation. Also, just because there is one extreme problem in another part of the world it does not cancel out problems people face in our country. If people thought like that there wouldn't be change.
Women are treated horrendously in third world countries but to say women in developed countries have "minuscule problems" you have to be extremely narrow minded.

:
Evidence? Women often say men should be more 'emotional' and talk about their feelings more.
From my experience guys tend to have more of a problem with a feminine guy than any woman I've come across. As a guy growing up you're expected to like football, be good at sports in general and just naturally have masculine mannerisms. Any deviation from this and you automatically get called gay or a puff.

:
Which is perfectly reasonable in the same way that calling a woman manly would be insulting to her.
Don't forget the fact that females are generally weaker as they aren't the ones fighting for territory or hunting for food. In nature their job is to make babies and raise said babies.
Males are physically stronger (naturally) and this is where such stereotypes come from.
These stereotypes don't really hold anymore considering we don't fall into those roles as rigidly as we used to. How can you reflect such a stereotype on modern society?

:
A lot of said women enjoy the attention. People like being complemented, especially when they've put effort into their appearance.
What's more, if these women are so "strong and independent" then why would they need a white knight like you and an entire movement in order to protect them from something as simple as being complemented?
Wow did you really just say that? You have to be ignorant as pig shit to think like that. You can't derail the perfectly truthful statement that women are sexually exploited by saying they enjoy it. It's basically another way of victim blaming. Pretty much every woman I've ever gotten to know has had experiences of men acting inappropriately sexual towards them. This is a problem.

:
Um, yes they do?
Just this morning I was watching This Morning lol and shortly before going into a discussion about how women are oppressed into not going into STEM fields or something (another bullshit argument), all the women in the set literally went over to this window to stare at a sexy lawnmower guy without his top on and whistle, and all that shit.
So yes, it happens. Frequently. And for some reason it's acceptable when the opposite is not.
Yeah it happens. Is it acceptable either way? Absolutely not. Does it happen just as often? I very much doubt it.

:
That being said, do you see us whining about society's impression of what a 'man' should be? No, we just get on with it and do what we like, most not caring about what other people's expectations of us are.
Because men literally can and there are no repercussions to it!

:
Yes, this is because we are animals and sex is a central part of our existence. Who cares if some women in media are flaunting what they've got? Isn't that empowerment? Because it's their choice that they do it, nobody elses. They want to do it because they like the money and the attention, so stop undermining them.
The point he was making wasn't about women making the personal choice to flaunt their sexuality, it's that women as a whole are associated with being sexual when it's completely unwarranted. Not only in video games when a character is literally used for sex appeal without having any other traits relevant to the game, but also in real life when women face sexual comments shouted from cars etc.
