Radical Feminism *WARNING* There is a pic of Beth Ditto involved

There's a certain irony of a guy who's never spoken to a woman in his life starting a thread about feminism.

I'm don't doubt that this swindle's worked wonders for you in the past; unfortunately for you, some people out there are well-aware of the myriad bigotries and cruelties found even in the New Testament. Let's start with Romans 1.

1:18-20: The "wrath of God" is upon all unbelievers and they are "without excuse".
1:21: The hearts of unbelievers are "dark" and "foolish".
1:26-28: Paul castigates homosexuals.
1:31-32: Homosexuals are "worthy of death".

And how about, let's say...the Gospel of Luke (I'm picking at random here, it's not as though these kinds of bigotries and cruelties are hard to come by in the New Testament)

3:9: Those who do not bear "good fruit" will be "hewn down and cast into the fire."
11:23: Jesus says, "he who is not with me is against me."
12:10: Those who blaspheme against the holy ghost will never be forgiven.
12:46-47: Jesus likens God to a slave-owner that beats his slaves "with many stripes."
13:23:30: Jesus says that only a few will be saved, and the rest will burn eternally in hell, where "there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

Now, how about...1 Peter? Sure, why not?

1:2: We have no say in whether we are saved or damned. We are predestined to one or the other and this was ascertained by "the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ."

Actually, before digging too deeply into 1 Peter, let's have a gawk at this unforgettable gem from 2 Peter:

3:7: God will set the Earth aflame so as to burn all "ungodly men" to death.

Shall I go on, no?

Urb H,

There is a certain kind of irony of a guy who's never spoken to a women in his life pointing out the irony of a guy who's never spoken to a woman in his life starting a thread about feminism.

Here comes the semi-scary banhammer retort.

Why, what's a "banhammer retort?"
I don't know what you mean, you explain it better with Chollie Mank, btw it takes a while for me to understand Chollie's comments, but I usually get it.

Then buy him a drink first.

But I was referring to that joke you used a few months back that where you posted the image of the menu to ban a member of the forum. Can't remember who it was directed at. . . .

You know, Urban could talk trash about me all he wants, I dare not come up with a nasty retort.

Because he scares the goddamn sh*t out of me, he's like the dark lord Satan himself, even though we all disagree with him on a variety of things, we still tremble in fear. As he can annihilate any of us with little effort.

Btw, have I ever told you guys how awesome The Fall are? Only the best damn band ever.

The reason I can't get behind any of your rants Boo Boo is how you basically find a reasonable group, and then give them a ridiculous agenda just so you can rail against them.

Sure 'radical' might be implied, but you're basically excusing yourself to make massive generalisations, so you only have to go after the the easiest target imaginable. Similarly, an argument against Islam becomes very easy when you spend all your focus on suicide bombers. Because the 'extremism' was so obvious you didn't need to say it.

But yeah, radical feminism is a hypocritical and unhelpful stance. So in the end you're right.

Mock all you like, I still think it's a valid point to make.

What makes you so angry about about this subject?
The fact a few nutjobs slagged off a video game for being sexist?

You admit yourself you can't talk to girls so why would you go off on a rant about women for?
Frustration at not being able to understand or relate them?

Come on Boo Boo what is it that gets to YOU about these hardcore feminists, give me the real answer not a bunch of cliched generalisations.
