Look up Australia's new commissioner for woman's equality. Can't remember her name, but I mentioned it in a post last week. I saw her Press Club Address last week and it was eminently reasonable. I would post a video of it but the press club charges for a copy.
Cite your sources. "Go look it up" is not that.
I already cited her name last week. How many fucking times do you need me to do it?

Once. I'm not going to do your stupid dance. This is your typical evasion.
Bottom line is, you think feminism means whatever you personally believe, and that must be what the real, mainstream, normal, rational feminism is -- your position amounts to this: "because, like, it's what my friends and I think, and you know, this lady whose name I don't remember, she sounds pretty reasonable too, because, like, I heard her like, say stuff at a press club event and she sounded eminently reasonable. That's how I know that the long list of prominent feminist activists, speakers, protesters, academics, etc., and the long list of books, articles, and other published materials expounding on feminist theory are just outlying, non-mainstream positions that really have nothing to do with True Feminism...."
“When I was in college, I took a terrorism class. ... The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaeda’ his shoulders went up, But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity, you don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the army’ with the intensity,” she continued. “... But you say these names [Al Qaeda] because you want that word to carry weight. You want it to be something.” - Ilhan Omar
