All this man-hating, wanting to look like a man bullshit is radical feminism which has only emerged in recent times and like I said serves no significant purpose in society. But true, original feminism does.
I admit to not knowing any of that, but I never claimed to know what "real" feminism is, I just know what it isn't and no I don't consider these people to be true feminists, never claimed they were. The founding of the movement or it's true ideals is not the issue I'm discussing, just the way it's bastardized like any other political ideal or movement.

But you know, having to point out for sheer convenience the specific kind of viewpoint I'm talking about when it should be obvious to anyone with a brain is kinda pointless. I didn't feel obligated to put "radical" or "some" in front of the word "feminists" every damn time. I just assumed people would get right off the bat what I was talking about.

But hooray for completely ignoring everything I said just to make assumptions about me based on absolutely nothing.

EDIT: Last bit directed at Bungalow not you.
