Pity, you should've used it. Then you'd maybe seem like less of ... well ... an idiot. The dictionary page I would have linked you to is

Societal Definition | Definition of Societal at Dictionary.com

Kudos to franzfergidon. As for people who rank right up there in "should've used a dictionary or google to help their meagre intelligence quotient compete with an argument", your opening statement

(Did you mean masculists? I'm not an idiot for admitting it's something I needed to look up, your an idiot for casting aspersions on people who don't already know everything. Primarily because, as we've seen already, you're making enough of a twat out of yourself for that already).

So I point out the applicable sort of terms that would define the male-dominant mindset that women are fighting against. Your response was

Which suggests you should spend more time on google before opening your mouth because you appear to completely misunderstand the meaning of both words.

To be honest I was going to go through the remained of this thread to rebut your absurd claims, general ignorance and willingness to buy into cop outs. But you'd save everyone a whole lot of time and effort if you just opened your eyes, threw away the cap of the male chauvinist and actually spent some time in the real world as opposed to dreaming your life away stoned off vicodin.

I'm only bringing it up because you said it wasn't a word. I love how you assume I'm an idiot.

Anyway, I'm done here... feel free to continue talking about feminism. I don't really have a comment on it that hasn't been already said, I'm sure.

No, you're right. Likewise, I do not wish to pursue a petty argument either.

I'm very clearly talking about radicals here, and you know, I don't understand the logic of "well there's also people who aren't radicals, so for the sake of political correctness let's never have discussions about radicals EVER". And I have that problem with Islam too, even some of the moderate Muslims seem to be so incredibly delusional that they think radical Islam should NEVER be discussed, as if it's not relevant and you'd have to be a goddamn idiot to think it isn't.

Anyway, I guess it was the title. *Changed*
A lot of your first post and then replies did imply that modern feminism was quite radical when in fact they're the vast minority. That's why it was a generalisation. I mean....

I have a lot of problems with feminism, or at least how a lot of feminists prevent themselves, and their idealization of what women should be like (which is to basically be men with vaginas, or so it seems these days at least) is just as oppressive and constricting as what they are rallying against. It's just hypocritical bullsh*t.
and plenty of other similar points you made, do you have anything at all to back it up?

Anyway, I'll give it a rest, this isn't going to go anywhere.

Why are we fighting over topic, Miss Venezuela Stefania Fernandez who won The Miss Universe, was asked what could women to do to futher their place in society and her answers was (paraphrasing her translation) "nothing, because women have acheived everything they need to acheive."

So by Miss Universe' assessment Feminism is obsolete! woo-hoo!

"A lot of feminists". Do you know what that means?

"A lot". It doesn't mean all feminists, most feminists or even a great majority of feminists, it just means a rather large portion. And yeah I forgot to say "radical" again, silly me.

I'm not judging all feminists based on it, I don't know how many f*cking times I have to repeat that to make it goddamn clear enough. I think telling me that just because it dosen't account for every feminist (or rather, "real" feminists, whatever you think that is) somehow makes it a non issue that should never EVER be discussed is the most incredibly closedminded thing you can say.

Not ALL muslims are radical extremists, so they must be irrelevant and never talked about, not ALL christians are psychotic bigots so no let's never talk about Fred Phelps, that might offend some of the "good" christians.

I really hate this way of thinking, very much.

Perhaps saying feminism is obsolete was taking it way too far, I apologise for not making it clear enough what I actually meant. Because at least for the US I think feminism has become a parody of itself, that's not to say we have TOTAL equality now, but I don't think there's any civil rights issues left in America that feminist activists really have any control over. Now they're just pushing a lot of ideals that like I've said many times, are f*cking retarded. Again, "a lot", "radical", how many times do I have to use these words? Is ADHD that big of a problem nowadays?

I'm sorry for assuming everyone here knew how to read, clearly I was wrong.

That is a seriously adequate answer to that question.

Feminism is just like every other radical ism, it deteriorates the goals of the "ism" more than it progresses.


The world without isms is the world I want to live in. Feminism is simply another stupid faction of radical idiots who are too stubborn to ever accomplish anything or live in harmony with anybody.
