So you're saying Islam is right about women?

Take the jihadpill, Pizzashill.

OK, but does saying nigger or cunt make you racist or sexist? Regardless of the context?

no, you being racist and sexist is what makes you racist and sexist you retarded fronthole

Is fronthole what trannies call cunts now?

I heard it used by them once and it sounded more offensive than calling it a vagina so i figured it worked

It is very unsettling and clinical, not gonna lie. Kinda like using cloaca instead of ass.

Good point, I have to remember to steal this.

Wow I’ve only seen fronthole from misogyny fetish bloggers before nice

Actually, racism is good.

🙄...reminder to everyone that I am pizza's intellectual equal so he consistently refuses to debate me...😑

Imagine being proud of being as smart as dumbass pizzashill.

AND being Canadian too.

It's over for marxcels.

indeed. I already proved him to be 40IQ. Therefore Marx is of the same disposition.

Being a commie should have clued you in already.

Feminism was never a force for good, this went down hill the second the 19th was passed

Well someone invented the internet, and then they allowed you to post on it.

If there's anything we can blame on women getting the vote, it's that.

Or what, you're gonna run and cry about it to the mother who raised you alone and never loved you?

Don't make me the third person you've blocked on reddit!!

Oh yeah I remember the last time I completely dunked on you and you got mad, that was awesome.

How often did you get beat up in high school? Was it

A. frequently

B. so frequently you were scared to go

C. you were homeschooled

D. you were homeschooled so the single mother who hated you did the beating herself?

So D, then.

You're now one of 3 people I've blocked on Reddit. I don't even mind people sperging out at me, but what I do mind is just the complete lack of real arguments.

You're just boring.

You should have a weekly column

Unironically. He could probably make good money on outrage clicks

4) mansplaining (which is really just called being patrionizing, but feminists never miss a chance to gender something.

Besides the obvious stupidity of this, patronize is already gendered. It comes from the French word patron which means father or master. It's like those fucking idiots who say "danger noodle" instead of "snake".

Well how long until we use mansplaining in a non-gendered way? 20 years?

So basically the government got involved in loaning kids giant sums of money that not even banks would loan making feminism a 30 to 50k a year payment that allows these massive institutions to pay for women to research things. The fed printed money to allow the government to take on said 1.6 trillion in debt. So the jews did it. Got it thanks nazi

Believe women

While I must admit I have missed your essays, I must also say it saddens me to hear that people seriously asked you why you think feminism is the way it is today.

None of the points you have made are original, even the "secular religion" part.

Please keep writing, though.

Existance to existence in the 3rd last para. Good shit.

:D

Another astute advancement from our stating-the-obvious dividion

Motherfucker its 2019, isnt the whole "feminism cancer milo good" shit done already?

Corporate/liberal feminism is a hot mess, but you are also a moron.

Wow, feminism is all about stupid stuff, it can't be because I click rage bait articles like a chimp trying to earn a raisin in a lab.

There is a discussion be held, and has been held by smart people, about men needing to dress in business suits when it's 90 degrees out. It's bad for the environment. But, instead of doing something about it, like having dudes who live in places where the summers are in the 90s be able to dress differently, let's get manipulated into rage sharing links.

you understood exactly what I said.

This is a problem because you have thousands of women with no other marketable skills other than producing research that explains how women are totally oppressed still, thus justifying their job and their income.

The problem with people like us complaining about this stuff, is that when we say it, we sound like angry conspiracy theorists. That's why it's important to read and engage with the stuff that is explicitly taught in grad school. My new favorite citation is https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.3102/0091732X18759039

We only need to look at one block quote from there that will cover the two things that I think are most wrong about modern academic feminism: The first is a lowering of the bar for what qualifies as valid scientific evidence. The second is an explicit endorsement of the introduction of bias into scientific inquiry.

Intersectionality’s presence and proliferation in academic spaces represents a form of grassroots theorizing. A Black woman (Crenshaw) used her scholarly position as a vehicle to represent the practices and embodied knowledges that, historically, have characterized the lived experiences of her women-of-color foremothers who must simultaneously navigate the complexities of gender, race, language, and other identity politics (Collins & Bilge, 2016). Although the terminology is recent, there is a long history of intersectional analysis by both women-of-color scholars and lay scholars. Crenshaw’s work rests on the shoulders of women like Sojourner Truth, Anna Julia Cooper, Gloria Anzaldúa, Ida B. Wells-Barnett, Paula Gunn Allen, The Combahee River Collective, and countless other known and unknown women who have shaped the consciousness of women of color through the verbal and written articulation of their lived experiences (Gines, 2011). Like Crenshaw, Cooper (2015) identifies her mother’s and grandmother’s teachings as more than just simple life lessons:

Because of Black feminism, I understand the theorizing that my mother and grandmother taught me to do as being critical and crucial to my survival as a Black woman of Southern [United States], semi-rural, working-class origins now navigating a middle class, urban, academic life. (p. 10, emphasis in original)

The theorizing that Cooper’s mother and grandmother taught her—and that my mother and grandmothers taught me—is not considered “appropriate” or “rigorous” enough for academic discourse based on academe’s tendency toward figure hiding through elitist and exclusionary practices of legitimizing knowledge (Gines, 2011). Naming these articulations as Crenshaw did is a form of scholarly legitimization that makes them “more compatible with academic norms of discovery, authorship, and ownership” (Collins & Bilge, 2016, p. 80).

One significant characteristic of intersectionality is its commitment to praxis (Cho, Crenshaw, & McCall, 2013; Collins & Bilge, 2016).1 The women of color who have embraced intersectionality as both an intellectual and practical approach to the world throughout history have not had the luxury of separating their intellectual work from their efforts to survive the matrix of domination (Cooper, 2015). Therefore, the women who have advanced intersectionality within academe have retained praxis as a significant part of that conceptualization. Given this legacy, it is not enough to think through the multiple ways in which oppression weighs on various identities, but it is the scholar’s responsibility to use her or his power to do something in response. This focus on praxis also validates the knowledges that lay scholars who do not share our academic credentials bring to this work and promotes collaboration within and outside of academe.

So, as you can see, lived experience and "theorizing" are explicitly endorsed as a progressive development in academia and that through praxis, it is now "the scholar's responsibility to use her or his power to do something in response [to oppression]". Scholar activism is a responsibility. The layperson perception of a scientist as someone who attempts to remove their personal or group biases from their work has been inverted, with explicit endorsement in review articles.

Why say it as pizzashill, no-name on the internet, when you can just cite Collins, Crenshaw, and Davis? It's not an opinion of the academy that you came up with from looking at the weirder parts of the internet. It's marching orders that came from the top names in black feminist critical theory, which is explicitly intersectional and marxist.

Also, do you understand why people think Cultural Marxism is a Nazi conspiracy theory? (see https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/13/opinion/cultural-marxism-anti-semitism.html, https://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674047686, https://jewishcurrents.org/the-lethal-antisemitism-of-cultural-marxism/, https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/jan/19/cultural-marxism-a-uniting-theory-for-rightwingers-who-love-to-play-the-victim, https://www.salon.com/2019/05/05/a-users-guide-to-cultural-marxism-anti-semitic-conspiracy-theory-reloaded/) So much of intersectionality is explicitly marxist, and nobody's shy of saying it in the academic texts, but the second a right-winger finds out, apparently it's a conspiracy theory. I don't understand.

Every once in a while people DM me and ask me various questions

opening with blatant lies is never a good idea

There is a legitimate case against tampon taxes. If there were no tax-free product categories, then asking for tampons to be excluded would be absurd. However, there are usually product categories that are tax-free (usually foodstuffs and other daily necessities) and there is nothing substantially different as to why tampons should not get the tax break when the other products do get them.

May I take a peek at your n-word pass?

There's no hidden academic conspiracy, rather these social battles let people think they're fighting the good fight without having to give up any real power, or threaten anyone who does have real power. It's like sport, you have a battle with the enemy side and then go home again having changed very little in the world.
