Vivian James, Gamer Girl Vivi and Gigi - A Love Story, or, Who Is Vivian James and What Is GamerGate? (About Feminism,...
From over half a year ago, a surprisingly comprehensive post hitting upon the history and origins of both GamerGate and the Vivian James character, which somehow seems to have gone entirely unnoticed.
Until now.
Losing Friends Because of Third-Wave Feminism
It isn't pleasant when you're dropped from conversation simply because you have grievances with the topic at hand.
It's worse when you're dropped by people you thought were your friends (including an actual college professor) over having grievances with that topic.
It's even worse when the topic you're dropped over is third-wave feminism.
Yeah - a movement steeped in anti-men logic-failed rhetoric. One that birthed the #KillAllMen hashtag, flipped their shit over an astronaut's shirt after he just got back from landing on a comet for science, and generally throws around the terms 'feminism' and 'feminist' as excuses for being assholes to people.
A movement that damaged the credibility of feminism so badly that TIME Magazine declared it one of the worst words used in 2014, and people actually have the gall to defend it.
Don't get me wrong - I am not against feminism in concept. First- and second-wave feminism accomplished a LOT to bring women into equal standing with men professionally, legally, and financially. I'm all for women being equals to men - anything that can bring us closer to actual full-on equality as a species is a plus in my book!
The issue is that third-wave feminism doesn't need to exist. Try to justify it all you want - it isn't worth the pain that it has caused since its inception, and I haven't seen ANY good come from it in any way, shape, or form.
If I lose friends because they can't see the grievances I have with it, along with any other SJW logic out there... I don't see the point of trying to mend things with them. It simply isn't worth it.
