Not around here - of course. I kinda assume most of us either are feminists, or are trying to be...

Somehow I don't see feminism and mail-order brides going together...but I'd never acuse Taverner of consistency.

He seems to miss that feminism has long since moved on from supporting equal treatment of women, it now prefers outright attacks on men (and even more on women who disagree with it).

10. Also, a lot of men are insincre and/or disingenuous when they say it.
One can talk the talk and call oneself a feminist, but unless you put feminist principles into action, and walk the walk, you're just a male.

HINT TO GUYS: Just calling yourself feminist doesn't mean shit and it won't get you laid. You actually have to change, monitor, and question your behavior and recognize your privilege if you declare yourself a male feminist. Acknowledging your status and fighting off centuries of conditioning takes time and effort, but it's worth it.

Now there's an emasculate half-man if ever I saw one.

A point the DUmmies may want to ponder - when I was born my country's two top figures (Head of State and Head of Government) were both women (H.M. the Queen and Margaret Thatcher), neither of whom became an embittered man-hater in the process, for my generation the idea that men and women are equal and deserve equal treatment is utterly normal and none of the women I know self-identify as feminist as they see it for what it is, a failed marxist piece of radical-leftism.

Isn't that an anti-feminist statement?

I've seen a pic of the RKZ fool.  He'd need to find a blind hooker who has no sense of touch or smell to get laid.

Because most women I know (even the dims) want an actual man. Not some neutered version.

You need a harpoon and a Captain named Ahab for that.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

I have this image of a guy sitting a talking to a college age girl and saying "oh yeah, I'm totally a feminist."  It totally comes across as a line to get laid.

Progressives always say men have nothing to contribute on discussions of abortion since they cannot get pregnant.

So how can he be a feminist?

(BTW - A good retort to that nonsense is to tell them they just don't understand "the white man's burden.")
According to the Bible, "know" means "yes."

It's cuz they think you're trying to come out of the closet, but so awkwardly it even creeps out the gays.

Because, Taverner, as I've said before, if I wanted a ***** I'd be a lesbian.

Okay! I admit, occasionally, very occasionally, I enjoy a mug of hot cocoa. But that hardly makes me a feminist.

What a pathetic, effeminate excuse for a man. BTW, women are only feminists when it comes to shit they like. Just wait until the oil needs to be changed on her car or something heavy needs to be moved.
Never demand that which you are incapable of taking by force, DUmmie.

I suspect they just want a good laugh, at you're expense, girle-man. :lmao:

Besides, if he's been at one of those stupid protests for a few weeks it probably has mold all over it.
