Someone on my FB described herself as a 'radical feminist', which led to me radically unfriending her
should've absolutely put her in her place. like Gavin McInnes
. The delusion that these people are under is indescribable.

Fixed! Of course I jest, but if we're going to make sweeping statements on the internet
I always say thank you and always hold the door open for people (of either sex). The majority say thanks in return.
Personally I think she's talking nonsense. Isn't it the same thing when you see a couple sitting close together and the woman has her hand resting on her partners leg (I see a lot of younger women that do this). She probably wouldn't approve, I just think people like the closeness of these things. I also find that advert odd. It's quite tiresome when they try and make an advert for women and then reverse the roles so they are being derogatory about men. Diet Coke ads are particularly bad for it, I just don't get them at all. I'm not their demographic though, they're more likely aimed at the Mumsnet crowd.
Fox News is an entertainment program. They won their court case over that. The judge ruled that they were an entertainment program so their news didnt have to be factual and could be totally made up.
Oh my goodness, what an insufferable harridan of a Woman.

And you're quite right of course. I was making a sweeping and generalised statement which obviously doesn't represent all, or even most woman. Alas, women like that do exist and it seems like their numbers are growing, especially in the US
Let's take a look at the titles of some of his articles:
"Hey, Ladies! Short Hair Is Rape"
"When Is It OK To Hit A Woman?"
"Transphobia is Perfectly Natural"
Not the output of a sane person. You can see why Fox News hired him.
What's more odd is the way here veers between telling his audience that these are his genuine opinions and pleading that it's all one big joke told for shock value alone.
He's also a born-again Catholic.

you're a genius.
I'm hoping they don't infect the rest of society too badly, but they are politically astute and very dedicated and they have infected society to some extent already (e.g. partial repealing of the sexual equality laws to legalise antimale sexism, widespread casual assumption that women are superior to men, etc).
A small number of bigots can (and quite often have) come to dominate a society. Look at, for example, the Islamic revolution in Iran or the Rwandan attempted genocide or the rise of Nazism in Germany. Bigots in groups are dangerous if they're politically astute and can corrupt widespread concerns to use them as a route to power and blaming their chosen enemy-group (e.g. the Nazis used the harsh treatment of Germany after WW1 and the economic problems of the late 20s and 30s for that purpose).
When power is taken, it is usually taken by those who are most highly motivated to take it and that is very rarely egalitarian people or even moderate bigots. It's the extremists almost all of the time. Usually little by little, usually using moderates as cover, until they can take power openly and start the mass killings.

Funny how she didn't choose to cite other incidents where woman are happy to be treated like children.
She could have criticised women for using crying to win an argument, or how men are expected to pay for them when they go for something to eat or go on holiday.
Presumeably she doesn't have an issue with stay-at-home mums getting 'housekeeping' money from their husbands, like 'pocket money' for adults.
She could have cited 'hostage' situations where women are lumped in with children as the subset of people that should be released first.
But no, she chose to blame men for putting their arm around a women which makes them like 'toddlers'.
To quote Bill Burr, some women think equality is a buffet where they can pick the bits they like about being a man whilst ignoring the drawbacks.
We live in a world where it's perfectly reasonable for a woman to talk about gender pay gaps being a sign of sexism towards women and two minutes later lamenting the death of chivalry, and seldom is that contradiction in philosophy pointed out.
I've been off this week and seen a lot of daytime TV which is clearly geared towards women. The ads are astounding given their complete inability to pass the 'if it were the other way around' test. Men are often portrayed as useless idiots, or male models in their pants who can be ogled at by the 'housewife' in the ad (I believe feminists would label this 'objectification').
I saw one today for some French cheese where the boyfriend is teasing his girlfriend by kissing her arm and whispering sweet nothings before the woman trips him up, Judo-style, jumps on top of him and says '"get on with it" before eating a piece of the mouldy milk they're trying to flog. Can you image the brown-faecal matter storm that would ensue if an advert had a bloke forcibly throwing down a woman for implied sex? The Guardian website would be the first in the world to shut down after it performed a DDoS attack on itself....with their female columnists not being able to upload disgruntled pieces on the evil patriarchy fast enough!
James Brown may have been correct when he sang his famous hit, but the stiletto is firmly on the other foot now but it's not in the feminists' interests to admit that.
Some women are happy to be treated like children. I don't get the impression that Helen Mirren is in that group.
I'm sure Helen Mirren pays her own pay.
I think most people would consider that an edge case.Please can you show me one example of a feminist complaining that chivalry is dead? Most are very happy that it's dead. We've already had one story in this thread of a feminist who actively complained when a door was held open for her.
Feminists hate these adverts too! They're on your side. Daytime TV ads aren't aimed at feminists as advertising agencies characterise feminists as being at work during the day.
tbh i'd like to see some feminists stand up and denounce the gender working deaths gap.
more women should be dying at work instead of leaving it all to the men.
