@Hauptmann: I'm a woman, but Emily is not my real name. I wouldn't want some of my social circles to find out what I think about them :D

Surely there are some biological differences between men and women. The point for me is that society shouldn't enforce those differences even more. But I think we're mostly of the same opinion here.

@Zap Rowsdower: Radical feminism is becoming more and more mainstream feminism, therefore it's not just a tiny group of women anymore. As an egalitarian, I could associate myself with feminism ten years ago but not anymore.

@dead piggy: Interesting idea. I've played with the idea of starting a blog or two once I have time.

No problem, this thread is in the off-topic section anyway :D

I've played about 4-5 games with this account already. Perhaps the completed games tab updates only once a day :S

By the way, for those of you who do not believe a woman could disapprove of feminism, see this video:

X, there's always the chance that Emily is an alt for another female WarLight player who just chooses to remain anonymous.


Yeah. 0.13%.

That's a little high now that I think about it.

Probability that a warlight player is female multiplied by the probability that somebody on reddit MRA thinking "yes, this all seems very sensible and extremely important to me" is female. Then you've got the fact that she makes a point of her being female, which is suspicious. Then you have to ask yourself why she felt she couldn't post this on her normal account, which is anonymous enough already. Then you've got the ugly sad neckbeard guy taking way too much of an interest in the thread (including a bizarre 48-minute bump), who is obviously operating the alt.

So it's more like 0%.

There's nothing more disgusting to me than people who like to argue about politics. Of those people, there's none more revolting than the men who have an unhealthy obsession with feminism. They should be castrated.

I mean, for fuck's sake, two blogs about feminism? Is that what the world really needs? Why don't you get off reddit and try to actually do something to make the world a better place. That is presumably the ultimate goal, so why don't you go volunteer at a soup kitchen or something. There's rape and female genital mutilation and tonnes of real problems in the world, and you're on warlight preaching about the scourge of radical feminism, you think that's constructive? what is wrong with you? you sicken me

@Bossss: It's true that you can't say that all overweight women are bad and all thin women are good. Some of my good friends are overweight, some of the more radical feminists I know are not. But still, in my experience, this is a rather typical setting. I would be lying if I said that the typical radical feminist is happily married and popular with men.

Why the hate? What's wrong with wanting more equality between the genders (or, preferably, having the whole concept of genders removed)? Also, the notion that people opposing radical feminism are always male is plainly wrong.

And since you like to label men who see problems in radical feminism as "ugly sad neckbeard guy"'s, may I ask, how much personal experience of women do you yourself have? You seem to know what "boobs" are, since you were previously named after someone's boobs. But is that all? Is she your girlfriend? Have you ever had a real girlfriend?

Also interesting that you think "rape and female genital mutilation" are real problems, which they are, but what about male genital mutilation? It happens just as often as female genital mutilation, if not more often. Don't you think that's a real problem? The same applies to rape. Boys and men are being raped statistically just as often as girls and women. And say if I'm wrong but it seems that when talking about rape, you only meant rape of females as a "real" problem. To me, you seem to want something completely other than equality between the genders.

There's a difference between supporting racial equality and giving women equal rights with special treatment. Radical feminism doesn't want equality. It wants equality with chivalry. Why would I support a movement that actively seeks to make me powerless before the law?

Let me clarify with an example - a father and mother before the law, the mother receives special treatment, the benefit of the doubt and in many European countries can name any man as the father of her child whether or not he's actually the biological father, so long as she can prove she had sex with him around the time the child was conceived. Why? Because of the needs of the woman and child are more important than the rights of the father. Even if he can prove he's not the father with a DNA test, the court will rule in the mother and child's favor. It's happened in Germany dozens of times already. Why would I be in support of that?

Need another one? - In the case of divorce a man needs to pay alimony to the woman even if she earns more than him. Why? Because the laws that were made in regards to alimony were made at a time when women earned less than men or could rarely find a career job and haven't been updated since. This means there are women that have a significantly higher standard of living than their ex-husbands because the law favors them. Also, if a women is proven to have cheated on her husband, in many cases he still has to pay her alimony.

Getting married in Europe (and to a lesser degree, America) just plain sucks for men these days. Men have fewer rights and have been reduced to an ATM machine for their family. A husband can be accused of raping his wife, which will result in a divorce, forfeit of all property to her and jail time. If a man is accused of domestic violence he can be banned from him property and handed a restraining order, which forbids him from going home and if a divorce ensues, he'll lose all his stuff to her. The best part? People tend to assume the women is telling the truth with little or no evidence because of social and media bias. In these cases a man is guilty until proven innocent (as opposed to being innocent until proven guilty).

With the law clearly favoring one side over the other, how can you call it progressive and equal? Why would I support such a movement that demands even more power?

I understand that not all women are cruel and willing to do such things to their husbands, but "a man who has to submit himself to the good intention of his wife in the face of unfair laws is a slave". X - you may be a masochist, but I like my balls attached to me and not rolling around in some woman's purse. <- (Blatant HIMYM reference)

Of course, making laws perfect is next to impossible, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try. Men and women can be equal before the law in this day and age, at least in the developed world. If we can't set an example for developing countries, they're going to set examples for us.

I would be so astounded if you were female. Please, please send me a warlight mail with some kind of proof. It would turn my world upside down, no kidding. It would be more amazing than Inception. Please, I beg you, I won't divulge any information whatsoever, I'll just come on here and say that I was wrong.

It would be an incredible feat of nature for you to be a woman, like a perfect solar eclipse. I want to bear witness to it. Please. Please. It would be truly miraculous, and I can feel the wonderment plucking my heartstrings at the mere thought of it. I just want to know that it's true.

If you are female I take back everything I said, you are a remarkable person, I really mean that.

You seem to know what "boobs" are, since you were previously named after someone's boobs.


That was a Community reference but yes I am aware of mammary glands. Good sleuthing by the way, nice work.

btw just to clarify, when you say male genital mutilation what are you referring to, circumcision?

Why would I support a movement that actively seeks to make me powerless before the law?

Let me clarify with an example


Hold up. Did I say you should support it? No. But you should damn well respect righteous fury when you see it. When a group of people caught under the thumb of an oppressive group try to liberate themselves. and refuse to take prisoners or make compromises. Even if you disagree with it you should sympathise and you should fucking salute them for having more balls than your beta self. And fuck it, maybe they should turn the tables, get themselves on top for a while and make you powerless, see how you like it. You wouldn't like it. But you should fucking respect it. For practically all of history women are second-class citizens, suddenly a few things go their way and how do the men respond? Cry about it on reddit. It makes me fucking nauseous.

As for your examples, that's all you really have. A handful of uncommon situations. There's still a hundred injustices to women for every one to a man. Sure, those things suck, but they're only a cause celebre if you are a misogynist. Just like bill o'reilly or whoever talking about "reverse racism" or affirmative action. It's because he's a racist.

Basically, you are a zionist kvetching about Palestine. "Boo hoo hoo, they shot some homemade fireworks at us. O what a terrible crime." Get a fucking grip and a sense of perspective.

Let me just get to your examples quickly,

1. Not sure what rights are actually being compromised, you might have left that bit out.

2. A law is outdated. Nothing to do with radical feminism.

3. I find this hard to believe. In most cases of domestic abuse there should be fairly obvious physical evidence. Courts don't usually convict based on accusations alone. As for reported rapes, the conviction rate for rape is extremely low because it can be difficult to prove (especially so if it's in a marriage). In fact, most rapes aren't even reported, because of both this and the fact that a lot of people don't want to do anything about it because of the additional psychological trauma and fear of ostracism.

Sorry, I digressed a bit there. What were you saying? A few guys lost some money in divorces? Oh. Sad.

A while ago you fantasized about castrating me against my will (if I were a man, at least), and now you ask me to give you photos of me? No.

What difference does it make for the argument itself if the argument is made by a man or a woman? Please inform me. In any case, see this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vp8tToFv-bA

She looks like a woman, don't you agree? She has a whole collection of videos where she says essentially the same things that I am saying. Now are you ready to admit that she is a remarkable person and you were wrong all the time? That male rape is as bad as female rape?


That was a Community reference but yes I am aware of mammary glands. Good sleuthing by the way, nice work.


After you eagerly categorized everyone on this thread criticizing radical feminism as a loser, and therefore irrelevant, I thought you would be brave enough to tell us something about yourself. Was that too much to ask?

btw just to clarify, when you say male genital mutilation what are you referring to, circumcision?


Obviously. But you don't see it as a problem that young boys' human rights are being massively violated by cutting a part of their body away?

...you are a pussy...righteous fury...


So you are saying that Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King, and Mahatma Gandhi were all pussies because they advocated societal change without unnecessary bloodshed? You would rather honor Joseph Stalin and Mao Zedong, because they murdered tens of millions of people in the process?

Did the "righteous fury" in Soviet Russia or Communist China end after the revolution? No! Bashing, ostracizing, and murdering of the "bourgeoisie" went on and on for decades after the war had already been won. Similarly, ongoing radical feminist "righteous fury" is no proof of existing societal injustice.
