It makes me far less... something to assume that that was just a vitriolic parody. Still creepy though, even if she is "joking".

Though, if I read the comments long enough, I'm quite sure at least part of my brain would begin to agree with her. The Internet is a weird and disturbing place.
 
anyways this is all a huge strawwomyn anyways, and the same thing as saying all christians are westboro/amish/greek orthodox/whatever extreme sect you want to use to make christians look bad.

feminism remains at its most basic, supporting equal rights and opportunities regardless of gender, end of story
 
Who here is actually supporting this as a valid face of feminism? I posted it to make fun of the extremism displayed, whether parody or not it's still amusing.

Why start talking about straw men, and how every ideal or movement has extreme elements? Isn't it enough to just point at this website and laugh?
 
Come on guys, you know Charlie wouldn't be able to sleep at night if he knew he'd passed up a perfectly good opportunity to call at least one of us a horrible bigot.
 
Most of the Western World conflates "Feminism" with its extreme elements instead of giving it any credence whatsoever.

See: Gasbandit
And so you sit there and assume that I do and that I'm posting this out of ignorance, and you fight a battle on an empty field against an imagined enemy?

Well, keep fighting the good fight I guess, but we're not involved and if the discussion doesn't address your concerns I hope you understand why.
 
Don't read if you're charlie:

Article said:
Until science could be used to create genetically strong femyle progeny from two femyle parents (The Rebirth), the world population of males would remain around 10%. Once science was able to complete such a process (The Rebirth), the world-wide population of men would be held at around 1%, just in case. Any males who were born after this would be either disposed of or kept based entirely upon foreseeable practicality and potential for genetic efficiency. No emotional attachment would dictate otherwise, and if it did, the womyn with said attachment would be reformed.
How are they gonna be able to do science without men?

If only there was some sort of allegorical story that could be quickly referenced to relate this concept.

Like, our resident white knight has started tilting at windmills again?
 
How do you pronounce femyle anyway? Fee mile? Feh mill eh? Feh mile? Fee mill? Fee mill eh?

I just want to know so I can make it into the breeding program when they take over. I'm short and my face isn't perfectly symmetrical, so if I do anything out of line I'm going to be terminated.

I do have absolutely luscious thick brown hair with plenty of body, though, so that might work in my favor.[DOUBLEPOST=1358548189][/DOUBLEPOST]Although my track record of only male offspring might count against me...[DOUBLEPOST=1358548318][/DOUBLEPOST]
I stopped reading after castration day. And now I'm going to find a crotch shield.
The blog has a whole post specifically addressing castration day, and how it's to be carried out. There's plenty more material where this post comes from...
 
Charlie Don't Surf ... what the fuck? Gas points out how this is misandry, not actual feminism, and you want to give him shit for it? Are you just so primed for an argument that you ran into this thread with your arms flailing, and took a swing at the first person you saw?
 
Charlie's point is that it is more frequent that people mistake feminism for misandry than misandry shows its head in the guise of feminism. The prevalence of the problems against which feminism fights is so great that it is essentially worth ignoring the raging extremist factions.

However, since most of us make fun of or expel vitriol at extremists of any type (eg Westboro Baptists), there's no reason to suggest this thread is anything other than that.
 
It's hilarious you all still don't get Charlie. He has to disagree with anything against the grain, even when it's own/same opinion in a different thread :)
 
Ok, this is funny. Apparently she keeps a keen eye on her logs, or runs a google search frequently because within 3 hours of posting this thread she's commented on us.

And guess what? We've been upgraded from a group of yammering geeks to a "pseudo-intellectual debate site"!

Halforums.com thinks I am obligated to give a fuck about their opinions of me, just like every other pseudo-intellectual debate site.
If you do come to visit us again, Femitheist, I hope you take our ribbing in good humor. Since I have 7 children, all boys, I have to admit I'd be dismayed if your worldview came to fruition, however we do enjoy hearing from others with a different perspective.

Alerting Dave in case he wants to provide an official halforums twitter response.
