Why Feminism Failed Cologne's Women

(...)

</snip>

Feminism serves its leftist shareholders who want earnest young female college students and a hundred other identity groups to feel that there is a face of the vast multinational Big Brother left looking out for them. As hundreds of European women found out on New Year's Eve and in its aftermath, that is a lie.

The left does not help women. The left only helps the left. Beneath the slick advertising, the artsy designs that lend the illusion of the personal to the impersonal and the touching video narratives is the soul of an ideological machine whose acolytes are trained to allocate empathy in tune with a rigid set of rules that are as inflexible as any Soviet commissar's handbook.

The left is not in the business of caring, but of coordinating, and it exploits empathy to gain recruits only to mandate the things that they are allowed to care about in a coordinated ideological fashion.

Big Feminism, along with the rest of its leftist partners, created the conditions that led to the Muslim attacks on women on New Year's Eve. And feminists are leading the cover up of the crisis they caused and continue to worsen by advocating for even more refugee admissions.

As long as feminism remains a slave to the left, it will be responsible for causing more women to be beaten, assaulted and raped. And then it will cover up the crimes and use the victims to sell more red t-shirts.

As Cologne, where over a hundred women were assaulted in one day, reminds us, a feminism in thrall to the left is one of the biggest threats to women.

The Big Bang Theory creates $4m scholarship for future scientists - BBC News

The cast and creators of TV comedy The Big Bang Theory create a scholarship fund for low-income science students.

The cast and creators of TV comedy The Big Bang Theory have created a $4m (£2.6m) scholarship fund to support low-income science students.

Although the sitcom is partly set at California's Caltech, the fund will sponsor studies in science, technology, engineering and maths at rival UCLA.

Series star Mayim Bialik earned a PhD in neuroscience from the university in 2007.

The first 20 scholars will be announced on the Big Bang Theory set this autumn.

"We have all been given a gift with The Big Bang Theory, a show that's not only based in the scientific community, but also enthusiastically supported by that same community - this is our opportunity to give back," said the show's creator, Chuck Lorre.

"In that spirit, our Big Bang family has made a meaningful contribution, and together, we'll share in the support of these future scholars, scientists and leaders."

Ok, time you all learned a thing or two. First lesson: An ethnic group in a society that doesn’t control the resources wealth distribution, right to the pursuit of happiness, jobs, etc) CANNOT be racist. The word you are…

[nappyheadedheathen-deactivated2]

My definition is wrong? Hate to say it’s not my definition. It’s the actual definition. Haha…

[fastdoge]

The actual definition states “hatred or intolerance of another race or other races“. That’s it.

The definition you use is some fucked up bastardisation that relies on that weird and completely baseless assumption that (undefined) “power” or “privilege” is a requirement.

It’s not required.

That’s stupid.

“I’m not racist, I’m just prejudiced!”

[x]

[nappyheadedheathen-deactivated2]

You googled “racism” definition didn’t you? I’m proud you can type all by yourself. Now try an actual book. Social psychology books are usually pretty good.

[fastdoge]

“Social psychology” - Ha. Soft “science” bullshit which is more just glorified opinions rather than fact. Just because some fuck managed to publish a paper on something doesn’t mean that it’s of high quality or true.

[nappyheadedheathen-deactivated2]

It’s cute you wanna be an intellectual without even knowing what science is. I wouldn’t be shocked if you were also a young earth creationist as well.

[femen6565]

Ad hominem much?

I’ll say that I know what science is but I’ll not respond very much to you describing me as a “creationist”, I’m interested to see how that plays out. 

You haven’t given me much to play with here, it’s more a simplistic attack on my character, or should I perhaps say my character as defined by you. 

I googled the definition of racism and I found lots of definitions for “racism”. These definitions largely come from dictionaries because they unsurprisingly deal with the definition of words. These dictionaries all present a similar definition for racism

“Discrimination or prejudice based on race.“

1. (Sociology) the belief that races have distinctive cultural characteristics determined by hereditary factors and that this endows some races with an intrinsic superiority over others

2. (Sociology) abusive or aggressive behaviour towards members of another race on the basis of such a belief

Prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one’s own race is superior:

NONE OF THEM touch the idea that only some groups check enough arbitrary boxes to qualify as racist. The idea of being racist is colorblind, it doesn’t matter a flying shit what color you are because if you meet the definitions of “racism” then you’re a racist. END OF STORY. 

Trying to wedge in weird things like “power” and “privilege” as fundamental requirements to be a racist are absolutely wrong and subjectively stupid.

[nappyheadedheathen-deactivated2]

Just because it’s in a dictionary one way, doesn’t make it accurate. Even the word race itself isn’t accurate yet it’s in the dictionary. English isn’t perfect. When did I attack you though? I don’t believe we’ve spoken.

[femen6565]

You’re giving my annoying young cousin’s friend more grief than deserved so I stepped in.

Just because you found your definition in some “social psychology” book somewhere doesn’t mean that it supersedes the long-standing definitions of established institutions.

The kind of Islam that social justice supports is the Islam that condones the massacre of journalist. Members of the social justice community praise and condone the actions of evil people. Instead of praising moderation and edging the religion towards modernization, social justice advocates for backwards long antiquated thinking and brutality. The Islam they support by supporting the Charlie Hepdo murderers is the kind of Islam that is no friend to women and LGBT people. They advocate for murder and suppression of freedom and the eradication of human decency. Instead of being appalled at the merciless slaughter of 12 innocent people, they were delighted. If these people had their way, the decapitated corpses of anyone that speaks against the radical fundamentalist brand of Islam they support would be strung amongst the streetlights and monuments of every city in the world. These are the people who in other places and times would have supported the Inquisition, the killing fields of the Khmer Rouge, and praised every other atrocity in human history. I suport islam. I support the muslims that speak out against their radicals. I support the muslims who are imprisoned and lashed for speaking out against their oppressive theocratic governments. I support the ones who are slaughted by large groups of radicals.

I support the ones that the social justice crowd erases when they praise radicals.

I decided to take a closer look at that idiotic blog from earlier, fucknoantifeminists.

Going off the supreme idiocy of that other post, I was beginning to wonder if it wasn’t just a troll blog, like lil-purrfect-femme.  Upon closer inspection, I don’t even know anymore.

We’ll start with the fact that she uses Femme Fatale from The Powerpuff Girls as an image in her sidebar, despite the fact that the character is a scathing parody of radfems that was created solely to mock them (and written by a female feminist, no less!).  If they’re serious, then I’m just going to have to assume that they’ve never actually seen the episode.

Moving on, looking at her “about” page is cringe-inducing to the max.

I have to laugh at the “safe space” bullshit.  As I’ve said before, tumblr is no one’s “safe space”.  It is a public venue, and as such, anything posted to it is open to public scrutiny, and criticism.  She goes on to cry about all the women jumping ship from the “feminist” label, but then blames it on men.  Oh, lawd.

And then we have this list of “blogs to avoid”.

I follow nearly all of these blogs, and they all tend to rely on factual information, rather than empty emotional pleas, propaganda, and ballyhoo.

I’ve since found that people on Reddit have compiled a list of known troll blogs, but I don’t know if there’s a way to inquire about this particular blog.  I’m not very familiar with Reddit at this time, since I only just joined because of the thalassophobia page.  If anyone does know how to go about inquiring about it, let me know.  The more blogs that we know for certain are trolls, the better.

Looking at her home page, I did take note of a suspiciously familiar catch phrase:

If it isn’t a troll blog, then there’s a reasonable chance it’s run by caligulette, and therefore not worth paying any attention to.

Just a shame that people like this don’t seem to realize that it’s their own actions that are repelling people from wanting to use the term “feminist”.

"Feminism is irrelevant now. Women have come so far, we’re all equal."

Like, okay, but in Ireland right now a clinically dead pregnant woman is being kept on life support - against the will of her family - because turning it off would violate the constitutional rights of the foetus, which are equal to her’s.

[thewoodquarter]

Look I’m as pro-choice as its possible to be but this case is a bit odd.

As far as I know the family want her taken off life support but it could be the case that the father has next of kin rights. It could also be the case that this is what the woman in question would have wanted. 

This one is more of a grey area than is being made out. 

[femen6565]

I'm yet to see any articles that mention what the wishes of the mother were or if the father has anything to do with it.

What the fuck there’s a MetalGate now?  Man, gamers and anti-sjws sure are whiny victimized babies.  Apparently by saying ‘we’re glad there’s less racism in the metal genre’ they’re attacking free speech or something?  This is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard.  Besides gamergate of course.

[mr-cappadocia]

Yeah, there’s a MetalGate. Why? Because this huge onrush of “But Metal music needs to coincide with our social justice virtues or not exist” seems to have popped up… seemingly out of nowhere.

[aceavengers]

Holllly shit guys look at this!  We caught ourselves an MRA/GamerGater (Practically the same thing) with our bate.  Apparently MRAs are being oppressed by the eeeevil feminist social justice warriors.  WHO THE FUCK IS SAYING THAT METAL MUSIC NEEDS TO BE SOCIALLY PROGRESSIVE?  And why are they not allowed to have these opinions?  Give me sources.  Holy shit you guys are whiny and victimized.  You whine about the oppression olympics but now you’re trying to win.

[mr-cappadocia]

You’re saying it. Just like you’re demanding that gaming be socially progressive.

And movies be socially progressive.

And television be socially progressive.

And college campuses be socially progressive.

I mean you guys kind of have a running theme here… If it doesn’t align with your view it shouldn’t exist.

[aceavengers]

See I don’t think you understand.  I can be critical of something and find flaws in something without not wanting it to exist.  Take Doctor Who for example.  Recently there’s been a lot of off color jokes about women, and some gross sexual assault played off for laughs.  I can note that I don’t like such things and that they’re a bit sexist while still enjoying the chow and not wanting it to be cancelled.  So…nice strawman dude.

[mr-cappadocia]

Strawman, huh?

Please, explain this scenario… It’s only the most recent egregious example.

I need you to explain to me how that could come about in that place when yours is a belief system that promotes free and open thought and not say… complete and total lockdown and censorship on those that disagree with you.

[aceavengers]

Well first of all, this seems to be an opinion piece from what sounds to be a biased news website.  It also has no sources.  No proof of this vitriol the author got from feminists on his facebook.  Secondly, I too would look critically at two cis men discussing abortion seeing as, in America at least, a lot of women’s rights to abortion are being discussed by those who are not women.  I mean, you have the right to say whatever you want but people also have the right to not like what you have to say.  No one was actively censoring him.  Students protested and the place that asked him to do the debate backed off.

[mr-cappadocia]

No… it’s an actual person called to the actual oxford University to debate an actual issue who was actually prevented from doing so because of actual Feminists actually breaking the back of the college.

An actual place of learning actually caved and actually engaged in actual censorship.

Call it an opinion piece to dismiss it but the reality is there. If you’re on a college campus and Social Justice Warriors don’t want you discussing a topic they can, and will, break the college’s back to ensure it doesn’t get discussed.

Lie to me if you want to, but don’t lie to yourself.

Note: This really did happen. Don’t even take my word for it, look it up for yourself.

http://www.spectator.co.uk/features/9376232/free-speech-is-so-last-century-todays-students-want-the-right-to-be-comfortable/

That's a pretty good article. I've always felt quite dismayed about the fact that "freedom" isn't high on the lists of these people, in fact my mind is blown by their outright disregard for it. These are people who spend their days shouting about freedom issues such as the right to express oneself without prosecution e.g. sexuality.

On one hand they want freedom of speech because they use it to achieve the goals of their agenda.

On the other hand they don't want freedom of speech because "hate speech" happens.

There is a fundamental point here that they always completely miss. There is zero understanding that banning any speech is exactly what totalitarians do, it's the most basic tool of oppression.

Silencing your opponent doesn't make you right. Silencing your opponent in the name of a greater good still doesn't make you right.

Aiming to silence your opponent makes you exactly the same as the gangs of homophobes who killed and persecuted gays throughout history. It makes you the same bully, just with a different target. 

[neonationalist]

What do you have against muslims? Have you ever met one or talked to a real muslim?

I have.  Which variety would you like my beef with? Iraqi, Afghan, or Saudi?  I welcome them to stay in their homelands but they really need to stay the fuck out of the west.

[neonationalist]

I think some clarification is in order.  I am not some 14 year old kid who is parroting his parents rhetoric from Fox News.  I’m a 32 year old American war veteran.  If you think these “people” are progressive, tolerant liberals you’re extremely deluded.  

Arab Muslims would gleefully kill you for endorsing tolerance of homosexuals, Christians, or women as anything but walking wombs for future human bombs…

Ignore this all you want, I know you don’t deal in fact, reason or logic. .but for those of you who are not too far gone, know that the Arab world wants you dead regardless of how much white guilt you harbor or how much welfare and subsidies you want to throw at them.

[taylorsvift]

Taylor about feminism

[chloederp]

Didn’t Taylor used to be an anti-feminist?

[hagakura]

I don’t know but this gifset is stupid. It’s like saying “if you’re not part of the Girl Scouts, you hate women” or “you’re pro-murder if you’re not Catholic.”

Feminism is a movement. Anyone can choose not be part of a movement, for whatever reason. There are also other movements which are often more pro-equality such as egalitarianism or humanism. Feminism certainly doesn’t have a monopoly on the common sense practice of believing people should have equal rights.

Most people believe in equality yet don’t take on the “feminist” label. 37% of Americans view feminism as something negative, 26% see it as positive, and 29% have a neutral opinion. Both women and men are more likely to dislike the term than like it. 20% of people identify as feminist, but up to 90% believe in gender equality. Doesn’t that say something about the feminist movement? As big as feminism is on Tumblr, feminists are actually a minority, and it’s for a good reason:

There are over 50 different kinds of feminism. Some of these sub-branches literally have goals like “deny transgender individuals human rights” and “mainstream feminism is too racist and classist so we need another branch to deal with issues women face.” 

Of the 52 active branches I found, a mere 11 are specifically for gender equality and an additional 6 are somewhat for it. The rest focus primarily on advocating for women’s rights or female empowerment, with some nutcases taking things to an extreme point. Not fringe nutcases, mind you - 15 branches of feminism are based on toxic and/or incorrect beliefs (homophobia, transphobia, etc). The remaining 20 branches are overall neutral.

"I’m a feminist" = ok, now what kind of feminist are you? Are you one of the good ones or bad ones? Because only 33% of the feminist branches are specifically pro-equality.
