  1. Wow, who would have thought that an Anti-Feminist Trumpist would turn out to be a hateful bigot. I am shocked, shocked I tell you.

  2. Flamevectros11 You think he was redeemed by being an anti-feminist? That just speaks for itself.

  3. Personmr Whether he supports gender equality or not, he is still a member of an obsessive cult, which is what anti-feminism is. Which is a problem regardless of his opinion.

  4. That's not a gotchya. Anti-feminism literally means against feminism. Just because your little cult thinks it has a monopoly on criticism doesn't make it so.

  5. djhart You've got it backward. Opposing excessive, radical, dogmatic, and aggressive versions of modern feminism doesn't make a person anti-feminist. Obsessive hatred of to the point where it dominated a large portion of your life and time is what anti-feminists do. And a lot of them are bigots, that's a fact. They care more about team loyalty than cleaning house, because if they did they would have like 15 people left. Sorry those are just facts.

  6. Well that's a shame Titus, the first step is admittance. You've got own up to being part of a cult of grievance.

  7. Personmr I would be happy to debate someone with a substantive critique, Titus doesn't have one. That person would also have to explain why anti-feminism is valid, necessary, as well as either condemn or justify the behavior of anti-feminists, which Titus is also unwilling to do.

  8. That doesn't justify equal and opposite behavior Titus, certainly not for nihilistic and reactionary group like anti-feminists.

  9. Personmr I just civilly responded to all of Alex Smart's points. Meanwhile look how Titus has responded.

  10. Alex Smart People keep saying that Trump and the alt-right are the product of some kind of over reach. I simply haven't seen any evidence for that being a large scale phenomenon outside of assertions. The average Trump supporter is the average Republican, for instance. Personally I would add populist economics and authoritarianism(as in Trump is authoritarian) as reasons for his election more than any kind of backlash against women's issues in politics or MTV news. If you have data to the contrary I will be happy to look at it. Sure it's possible that the idea men are hateful bigots can lead to hatred of men. That caused some lady to shoot Andy Warhol 40 years ago, but I haven't heard much about anything like that since. I don't think naive and cringy slacktivism can be effective. However my entire take on this is that the anti-feminist movement is an insanely toxic reaction to naive and cringy slacktivism, as well as youtube videos about how Princess Peach fits the damsel in distress trope because she is a literal damsel who is in distress. Why exactly is there a movement to oppose that which is filled with rage and bile rather than just a collective facepalm? And why are there groups dedicated to cataloging all the supposed offenses these cringy slacktivists commit? No, intersectional feminism is not a form of class warfare, believe me I wish it was. Intersectionalism is either an attempt to encompass the issues affecting different groups of women, or a byzantine taxonomy of who is more oppressed, depending on who you are talking about. I don't see how feminists are promoting Christian values. I have no idea what you are talking about there.

  11. Titus Orelius Why exactly are you calling me a liar?

  12. Alex Smart I have no problem viewing the alt-right as gamergate++. However this was originally about anti-feminism. Am I to take it that the alt-right, gamer gate and anti-feminism are one and the same? Your framing here doesn't really put the feminists at fault, it seems like your solution is to bend over backward to accommodate irrational crazy people lest something worse arise. I on the other hand do not view appeasement as a solution, or an acceptable compromise. People are responsible for their own behaviors, sheeple or no. The fact people get so worked up should be seen as a sign of an underlying problem that needs addressing. Trying to sweep it under the rug just means it will ooze out again later. I don't see this as game of moral points, I also don't see how the actions of a small group of people as scoring those moral points. In fact this sort of thing is one of the reasons I don't like anti-feminism and anti-feminists it's a huge percentage of what they do. I also don't think any kind of objectionable part of feminism dominates society or culture. The parts about women being able vote, go to college and pursue the same careers as men have dominated, victim culture and hatred of men, not so much. I can see how it would be bad if it was Kant's categorical imperative, but that is nowhere near happening. I don't know why you want me to ask a feminist why anti-feminists are full of rage and bile, it seem their answer further undermine your argument. And yes, I have heard of block lists, it is one of the catalog of grievances held by anti-feminists. Well since you mean they were an upper class, a petite bourgeoisie, I am much more sympathetic to that argument. You have to understand in the conversations like these someone will inevitably pop out of the word work screaming about cultural marxism and saying feminism is some kind of trick to tear down the powerful. Well speaking of trickery to tear down the powerful, Fredrich Nietzsche has made an appearance. I haven't read any Nietzsche in around over a decade. I don't really see your argument here. Compassion is bad because some philosopher disliked Christianity? It seems like you are playing 6 degrees Kevin Bacon here.

  13. Why are you even anti-anything? I don't see a need for a specific anti-feminist ideology, it's just a collective of obsessed people cultivating grievance. Do you still think Trump is better than Clinton? Goldman Sachs in charge to Treasury. Exxon Mobile in charge of the State Dept. Fundamentalist Christian who thinks coal mining and church is better than public school in charge of Dept. of Education? If you think the guy far to the right of Clinton is more center left, you clearly have been brainwashed by some kind of reactionary ideology calling itself liberalism.

  17. Simone De Filippo You may be many things, but moderate is not one.

  18. Simone De Filippo So being infinite transcendent consciousness, you are extremely tribal, hate others and are fixated on a possible fate of for a spot of dirt after you die. It all seems like a waste. Hell it's even a waste of the finite.

  19. Simone De Filippo And yet you are nothing if not caught up in the appearances of the material world the development of human life in a much more immediate time than 1000 years.
