Oh and fuck you for you're piss weak attempt to tarnish the cause.

Kind of like the article I read that I talked to the other anon about. It was on a well-known feminist site but it was misogynistic because it was trying to tell women how to live their lives.
I'm not tarnishing anything. Feminists don't always agree with one another. They are not a monolithic entity and they never have been.

The person so says the real definition doesn't matter thanks to "society" by contrast, is the worst and there should be a law. A godwin's law.

I'm a fan of proper grammar, but this is a really lazy, indirect way to attack someone you disagree with. Excuse me: with whom you disagree.

(Anonymous) 2013-04-27 07:23 am (UTC)(link)Two: Feminism has never been a united cause. There have been popular causes within the each wave, but every women's studies teacher worth their salt will tell you no wave has ever been completely united -- and the Third Wave, THIS wave, is the least united of all! Because there is nothing like the suffrage movement, or access to basic education, health care, jobs.
Yes, we are still fighting, in many ways, to achieve real social equality, but in many ways we see women attacking women in the name of feminism and women's rights. We see extremists on both sides: Saying if a woman presents herself as effeminate, "girly" that she is a danger to the cause. But this is mysogynistic in its assumption that the effeminate are weak; that they are supporting a woman-hating "agenda" which men (~*because all men are evil*~) so long to enforce upon women, once again. Saying if a woman presents herself as butch, "manly" that she just wants to *be* a man. This nonsense simply harkens back to Freud's beloved "penis envy" theories, invalidating their arguments, and therefore positions, and women, wherein the mysogyny should be plain: telling a woman that she is not a real woman because of her gendered presentation is blatantly hateful.
Just look at the spectrum of feminism we have going, today. There are women who would love it if mpreg were a real thing who call themselves feminists; who go so far as to claim that vaginal penetration is a crime upon a woman's body, and no woman should allow such a thing to be done (a real, live quote from a feminist friend). If you've ever read Margaret Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale" there are women who would fight for a SaHM society to come back, and THEY call themselves feminists. It was easier to define "feminism" when there was a larger like (the aforementioned suffrage, access to basic education, etc). It's not nearly so easy, now, as so many people define feminism in so many ways.
But any attack on a women -- any judgement because of her sex, gendered presentation, whatever -- is mysogynistic. There are no hard-and-fast rules for any side, or any view. Everything in these arguments is an opinion.
Finally: Where you are flagrantly, abhorrently WRONG is in claiming that someone will or is trying to "tarnish the cause." Just because you don't think feminists can be mysogynistic, regardless of the form of the hate, doesn't mean that someone else doesn't see it. A single gripe about how celebrity shouldn't be wearing those tiny shorts because they're coming off as a whore is mysogynistic. Even if we've caught ourselves now, and have started changing our words and thoughts, doesn't mean we didn't do it in the past. We all have. Society gets you, and you have to work to pull yourself out and look at it with more scrutiny. Including those little comments and judgements.

(Anonymous) 2013-04-27 08:06 am (UTC)(link)For one, there is no "cause" right now, because it's all fractured. There's no uniting THING, like in the past.
For another, HOW DARE YOU! Your brand of feminism isn't the same as the person sitting next to you! There are people who insist that feminists should start calling themselves "equalists" because they want equality, not "women's rights." There are people who hate on men, and call themselves feminists, who hate on girly-girls, or butches, and call themselves feminists, so, on some level, there's a whole bunch'o hate getting flung around. You're just adding to it, man.
