2. Tumbler is SJW garbage.

Actually, I'm a Social Justice Bard, not a Warrior. Warriors are a lot tankier, Bards get magic. Easy descision.

In all seriousness, though, that's just as little of a point as... well... most of your points. You're just insulting people here. Ok, fair enough.

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

I said it earlier, that's most likely because the majority aren't subject to it? Again, I didn't care because I didn't really know. So when I learned about it, I did care. Thank you for pointing out a serious issue in the world that needs to be adressed. Thank you for listening, now will you do your job now?

My point still stands, that most of feminism isnt talking about sharia law.

But that was from 1964, where people had different views and stances on things than we do right now.

The world 'egalitarian' is from 1881, where people had different views and stances on things than we do right now. Joking aside, the point is that shock and awe works. I disagree with the denotation– mass genocide is bad, no duh, but if it gets people talking about important issues then it's good. '''​​​​​​ Of course shock and awe works. It can be used in a good or bad way. My point is that one worked and one didnt.'''

I'm starting to wonder if most feminists are TERF's.

It wouldn't be radical feminism if it was mainstream. Feminism ≠ TERFs.

Why does this need feminism?

If I called it Couchism it would still be needed. Equality is needed, and if it's under Feminism that we get that equality so be it. '''So what inequality is there? '''

But it is the mainsteam idea of feminism which advertisers are getting.

No, it's not. It's one company that is, similar to the #killallmen tag, trying to make a splash and make themselves seen by doing some 'edgy' and 'cool'. The actual argument is sort of amusing because it fails to mention the bare necessities of women's hygiene – tampons, etc. – which are already overpriced. So they did a bad job of even making their argument. '''It's still making an impression that feminism is cancer. After all, if this is what represents feminism, why are you suprised that I dont wanna be a part of it?'''

'''But thats not my point. My point is that these youtubers and a lot more videos convinced others that feminism is not equality. And it worked.'''

Um, do you really want YouTubers deciding what is and isn't good? You want Jake Paul as president? I'm exaggerating your argument, I know, but YouTube videos cherrypicked to show the worst of a side isn't equal to actual evidence that a side is bad. '''My point still stands, it worked and now less people identify with feminism. It has a lot of hate to be a feminist, so why even bother when I can be an egalitarist and not get all the hate?'''

'''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.'''

The point is, people aren't going to openly declare that they don't believe in equality. And thats a bad thing because?

That only 13% of america identify as feminist.

So? Atheists and Agnostics make up a small margin of the population, their arguments aren't invalid. And I looked atanother poll by the Washington Post. This one's a little more recent than the other one, and it says that 60% of US Women are Feminist in some regard, and 33% of US Men. So, that's a fair amount of people I'd say. Of course, 50% of US Men say they aren't a Feminist, but I'm just saying that your poll is misleading. Well, if feminism truly stood for equality, shouldnt it be a majority across all the genders, since it stands for equality?

In iraq, not here

Look, even if it wasn't needed here, even if America was perfect, then... why couldn't American Feminists support Iraq? Like, Globalization is a thing. I talk with people in different countries on the daily. We aren't supposed to turn a blind eye to the rest of the world. '''Yes, me saying that feminism is needed where gays are stoned to death/ forced to go into transgenderism is saying "I'm gonna turn a blind eye to america's problems." Of course america has problems, but this isnt what feminism needs to deal with. It needs to deal with actual oppression first, then our problems second.'''
