I just use tumblr... it's a lot easier... I don't know what exactly your argument here is if you say "I haven't heard about people who are localized to my (assumedly Western) area talk about something that isn't relevant here". 1. I dont have a feminst frequency thread.

2. Tumbler is SJW garbage.

3. My point is that while one femimist said that sharia law is bad, the majority didnt care.

Now, I'm going to start out by saying that this blog literally says in its statement page that it supports Authoritarianism, so take that with a grain of salt. But it does say that "girls focus on relationship building" which actually seems like the perfect focus for a politican. So, if you're saying women are biologically unable to or biologicall worse at becoming politicans, this source won't work for that. '''Being a politician requires leadship skills. Also, I'm saying that the average women arent interested in being politicians, not that they can't be politicians.'''

Um, I would list people in that tag into one of three categories. There are the people who are using it for shock and awe in order to make change. In poor taste? Threatening? Should not have happened? Definitely. But so was Lyndon B. Johnson's "Daisy" ad, and it got him into office. But that was from 1964, where people had different views and stances on things than we do right now.

The second category are TERFs. We can move on, I've already covered that. I'm starting to wonder if most feminists are TERF's.

The third category, and largest category, are non-Feminists using the tag to blacken Feminists. I can sort of see why, with a tag like #killallmen it's almost low-hanging fruit. ​​​​​​True.

'''Again, that doesnt mean oppression, and it doesnt call for feminism. None of this calls for feminism at all. What it did call for is debates, not an agenda stuffed in.'''

It doesn't necessarily mean oppression, sure. It does mean imbalance, which means Feminism. Feminism is a school of thought still very relevant. You can't have debates without an agenda. You can't argue for something without having a cause for it. ​​​​​​Why does this need feminism?

One... one ad... that is dumb and ridiculous... is not feminism. But it is the mainsteam idea of feminism which advertisers are getting.

That series of videos, concluding with: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jp1K7f7WNCo

Look, I'll be honest. I only watched the first few seconds of the first two videos. It's a series of videos to show a bad side to feminism. Is what it was supposed to be, I think? But that first clip in the first video was a woman talking about harrassment online which is something different, and the second video was about a dude making fun of male feminism, which I think is interesting because they're admitting and bringing light to a oft-underlooked aspect of feminism that should be brought to attention.

You still aren't proving anything. Let me give you a link about egalitarianism:

https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Egalitarianism

That doesn't prove anything. It's from a biased source and it has a biased message. Albeit, I enjoy reading RationalWiki but I'd never use it in an argument. You using YouTube videos is... much more unreliable. '''But thats not my point. My point is that these youtubers and a lot more videos convinced others that feminism = equality. And it worked.'''

While the majority of people advocate for equality, only 1/5 are saying that they are a feminist.

Well, of course people would like to say they advocate for equality. Imagine walking into a room and going, "You know what, when you think about it, maybe some races ARE inferior." '''What are you saying? Of course people are gonna call that person a racist, I don't see the point in mentioning this at all.'''

I don't know what you're trying to say with that poll. That only 13% of america identifys as feminist.

But it isnt needed.

But it is. In iraq, not here.
