First off, I just want to say that TAA never at any point said 'Most Muslims are radical'. I think that's a misunderstanding on your part and your attitude towards him now makes far more sense to me, but honestly, he doesn't think that. I wouldn't follow someone who's so ignorant. He actually has a very decent set of morals which I've noticed by watching their podcast.
Your point about the times Muhammad lived in is a common one, and it's true, but so what? Are you arguing that someone like that was not scum by today's standards? By the way, when 1.6 billion people follow such a man, he does have to be judged by today's standards. Calling Muhammad a scumfuck isn't really an ignorant statement, it's more the opposite. Saying "Muhammad was a stand-up guy!" is far more ignorant.

I wouldn't say it's a careless statement either, it's pretty clear he wants to get people fired up and be provocative, probably for views, but it's also a trademark of the character (because it is a character).

Anyway, it seems we pretty much agree on feminism, then. The difference is I don't accept the "not all feminists" argument. Feminism does not have a leader, anybody can call themselves one whilst communicating bad ideas and unfortunately that's all I see. And no, that isn't an exaggeration. As I've said before, Christina H. Sommers is a feminist whom I respect and look up to, because she doesn't shy away from the label yet her ideas are logical and her arguments rational.
Now, I don't think an ideology that says "bhurkas are empowering" but "bikinis are triggering the male gaze" should have lasted as long as it has. And I don't care what you say, that's the point that third wave feminism makes. It's fine if women want to feel empowered, (I don't know why they would considering they have all the same rights as men, but they totally have the right) but third wave feminism is all about changing things and censoring things. It's about coddling and it's about being a victim. Feminists are moaning about Page 3 or their representation in videogames while women in other countries face genuine oppression.

I'd make the argument that women have more privileges in first world countries, and I can back that up and talk about it for a while if you want to get into that.
