Feminism has become obsessed with victimhood

[FakeNews]

I never used to miss an International Women’s Day march. Too much was at stake not to attend: our atrocious lack of reproductive rights, sexual discrimination, the hidden epidemic of domestic violence and many other vital issues. It was important to stand up and be counted, to march alongside other feminists in support of our shared goals, to bang drums, wave placards, making a blaze of colour and noise in the street.

This was also the time to celebrate the tremendous gains of the women’s movement, the freedoms we had won, together with a powerful sense of political and personal agency that had been denied to previous generations. It was fun, exhilarating, and it seemed like there was nothing in the world that we couldn’t do, if we stuck together.

But over the past few years mainstream feminism seems to have turned inward instead of outward. The rhetoric is too often concerned with what women can’t do as opposed to what they can. Feminism, like other forms of identity politics, has become obsessed with victimhood, in what I consider a seriously disempowering way. It has begun to feel like a religion, with its own strict rules about what women are permitted to say, do and think.

The big problem for feminism is that if you focus endlessly on what divides women, then sooner or later you don’t have a movement any more, just a random collection of competing grievances.

Feminism has become obsessed over unlimited abortion. Follow the bouncing red-laser dot Donny. They are less concerned about the sex than they are the "side effects."

The same victimhood problem is true of their enemies in the alt right.

Don't forget BLM and all the other social justice dipshits who engage in identity politics.

ROTFLMAO white identity politics results in murders and bombings, and goes back 400 fucking years. White identity politics has killed more people than Communism and Genghis Khan combined.

EVERY fucking continent on Earth has a European invader and white supremacy problem.

All Identity politics results in murders and bombings and they all go back a lot further than 400 years.

Not even close and none of this makes your favored brand of the shit any better than anyone else's, at the end of the day you're just another basic ass bigot.

EVERY fucking continent on Earth has a European invader and white supremacy problem.

Same thing could be said of Asians and blacks.

Asians and blacks have not invaded every continent on Earth and exterminated entire populations living there. Only Europeans can claim this dubious honor. Please try and come back saying this statement is wrong...

Well....blacks don't have the capability. Best they can manage is some low level piracy and neighborhood violence mostly among themselves. But they are running around trashing shit all over the world, so yea they are.

And Asians have done it with economics, you don't get to live 1st world without sending Asia some big bucks.

So yea, they have, they just do it in their own style.

I love watching you try to grasp reality, only to find it slips from your fingers with the greatest and most frustrating of ease. Alternately you must have been higher than a fucking satellite to write that much pure bullshit.

Neither Asians nor black people have conquered anything past their own continent. White people are even on the verge of destroying humanity with their fucking nuclear weapons.

You need to put the crack pipe down buddy.

It's reality, not that bullshit SJW bigot bubble you live in.

Asians have, much like slavery economic conquest is still conquest.

Black folks aren't able, they got some of the richest resources on the planet and they are can't manage any better than a 3rd on it's way to 2nd world shit hole.

'White people are even on the verge of destroying humanity with their fucking nuclear weapons.

Asian people aren't white.

And black people can't build nukes AFAIK.....shit the most prosperous ones live in largely white societies/nations.

Actually, the only place I see abortion brought up with any regularity is on the GB. Mostly by not-feminists.

Let's start with the fact that everything you wrote was utterly baseless and wrong.

But let's also be honest... you need drug addiction therapy. Whatever you're shooting or snorting is destroying your brain, and what you just wrote is proof of that.

 

[WoundedKnee]

Asians got all of the way into Europe before the Black Death got them and yes they massacred every living being they encountered. LT, you need to read some books. You might want to start with a little place called Egypt.

And irrespective of position, most people in this forum (myself included) keep pointing fingers and saying:
"You : bad and stupid.
Me: Tarzan."

LOL Jesus you need a HS history lesson and an update in current affairs.

Never snorted or shot up anything.

I don't do drugs, I just smoke weed.

Did you have a point that was even tangentially related to the actual thread?

The fact that you can remember to breathe while being so brain dead stupid is proof that life will always somehow find a way.

I dont get it. Women have all the reproductive rights we can possible need. How is that atrocious?

Yup, the white supremacy problem in Antarctica is the worst by far...so much racist white snow.
