My Dear Melancholy, Posts: 4,480 Group: Elite Member Member #11,589 Joined: August 8, 2014 Gender Female Country United States	http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/game-of-thrones-maisie-williams-lose-the-term-feminist-instead-refer-to-humans-and-sexists-a6970386.html I'm reading Maisie's interview and she made a good point that I'll quote. Quote: “I [also] feel like we should stop calling feminists ‘feminists’ and just start calling people who aren’t feminist ‘sexist’ – and then everyone else is just human,” she told Entertainment Weekly. “You are either a normal person or a sexist. “Yeah, sometimes it’s men too. But there are women who are just nasty. I’m trying to do the best I can. I’ve got a voice. I believe in equality From what I know of Feminist (which isn't much). They fight for man and women rights. Isn't that just be an equalist (is that a thing) or a social justice? I'm not saying in some countries the concept isn't needed but shouldn't it die out and fuse with another similar movement?

Now they mostly have all of that I think that the term is outdated. They should adapt to suit a more equal society than what existed when feminism started.

It's about fat women trying to force disgusting hygiene practices and eating disorders as normal human behavior and that men should treat them like they're supermodels and worship their feet.

That's a fringe movement. That said mainstream feminism isn't that impressive either, seeing that is spearheaded by the likes of Hillary Clinton and Sarkeesian. I agree with part of her sentiment. Way too broad for me to jump on board with everything she said though.

This is just like saying: modern Islam is all about terrorism. You're just showing off a disgusting and pathetic stereotype. You're talking about a small group that don't know the ideals and principles of their own movement. Most feminists are not like what you describe at all and are simply for equal rights between men and women. I agree with Maisie Williams. You're either normal or a sexist. Feminism is a misleading word, it doesn't mean you just care about women's rights and piss on men's rights. It's simply a term that has become obsolete since women got rights to vote, study, etc. That doesn't mean that the entire movement has become obsolete however.

It truly was a Shawshank redemption Posts: 12,129 Group: Retired Staff Member #2,993 Joined: December 16, 2007 Gender Male Favourite Anime DBZ What Browser do you use? Google Chrome Favourite Manga DBZ, Full Metal Alchemist	Quote: People get a label because they're 'bad'. Not sure I agree with that, but I do agree with her general sentiment. I feel like we've reached the point where it doesn't need a label any more, like Pel said, women have a bigger voice now, plus it's more of a universal attitude than it previously was. I found it interesting that she said she's scared to speak on feminist issues for fear of a backlash from other women. That shouldn't happen, especially when she's clearly an advocate for it.

Oh I have no doubt you can cherry pick verses from the Quran promoting violence. But then again, I can cherry pick verses from the Quran that will tell you killing is wrong. Such a pointless discussion. The point of my post was that the far majority of feminists are absolutely not what you described and the far majority of Muslims are not terrorists, regardless of whether or not the Quran is telling them to be.

At the same time there are those who think all feminists are feminazi's and fight against them. Might as well just switch to egalitarianism, it's basically the same thing isn't it? And doesn't have a name people can twist to their own agenda, because they're probably too stupid to understand what it means or take it the wrong way. As for the OP, I kind of agree but you shouldn't have to be an active feminist to not be sexist. Like if people want to imply others are sexist for not joining protests and s*** then that's just sheer douchery. (not that it is saying that don't have the time to read the articles, just if it is saying that)

I also like pissing uneducated people off. Yeah I agree with that. Feminist is such a powerful word these days. With such a negative connotation among the "Internet Culture" I guess. It seems that the stereotypical feminist is the image that first shows up in their mind. Honestly most feminist I know are wonderful people with a lot of legitimate view points. People have selective memories and only remember the feminist that streaks or something. Only reason I started to even look up feminism myself was the horrible things people said about it. As I guy myself I always saw people just attacked it. So out of curiosity I researched the subject and formed my own opinion on the matter.

It may not be true to everyone who falls under that demographic, but people who share your viewpoint like to tout the saying "The exceptions don't make the rule". Well, the exceptions don't make the rule.
