What's wrong with being sexy?

What's wrong with being sexy?

Exactly! I've never found that it has held me back from more intellectual pursuits...

[DaveDodo007]

...wait wait....

That's not mainstream feminism... my friends don't think that and they say they're feminists, so this must just be one more radical, weird thing that nobody really believes....

... #notallfeminists

I think it's pretty safe to say that most feminists aren't as fucking mental as this woman.

yeah right, show me a sane feminist?

Ask a social Justice Warrior (SJW) because they are crying about it all the time.

Well I for one think you look very sexy in the frilly apron, as you wash the dishes.

Are you sure....?

Yep.
As it's safe to say that you're not a typical old fart in a bucket.

LOL. Well, the feminists doing the publishing, writing, teaching and public speaking, and activism, are of the full retard variety. Perhaps the run of the mill person who thinks feminism just means "equal rights for all" doesn't agree with the published authors, activists, and prominent feminists.....

Makes finding a decent shirt difficult.

All of them? Extraordinary claims, extraordinary evidence....

I've already gone through this by citing to the folks, for example, in the OP, who are professors and activists. I've previously cited to folks writing for respected publications like the Guardian. Professors at major universities. Prominent activists invited to speak at the United Nations and hired by Google as their diversity consultants, and such.

"All?" We've also been over this many times - there is no (or hardly any - certainly none that I know of) idea or belief that is held by "all" of any group. That doesn't mean we can't talk about philosophies, religions, "-isms" and other ideas and have a consensus on what the basic principles of ideas and isms are. There is meaning to these words. The fact that "not all" of the folks subscribe to all of the same precepts does not mean that the words are meaningless.

"All of them" is not my claim.

Just stock up on polyester Hawaiian shirts, they never go out of style.


I rest my case.

There is meaning to words. When you say "the feminists" you are necessarily talking about all of them. You need to learn to use language properly if you want to avoid these issues.

[JimC]

One of the issues here is media exposure. If there are a whole variety of feminists writing stuff, you can be sure the media will prominently and preferentially display the wackiest and weirdest. These then will be pounced on by the likes of 42 as evidence...

Back to topic. I've attended and presented at a number of scientific conferences this year. At one, I was asked to mark the presentations of the post-grad students' works, and the highest marks were taken by women.

Why?
I'd say it was because they 'generally' work more meticulously and with greater precision.

Just my opinion of course.
