This is why only 18% of Americans want to be identified as feminists.

...despite the fact that most Americans want gender equality.

Misandry, 2015's rich, bitchy, delicious evidence suggests, is not a fad. It's in your music and on your television; it's at the movies and in your Twitter stream. It's shaping culture and it's influencing women. If your #MasculinitySoFragile that you've got a problem with that, let me refer you to Hillary Clinton's near-audible eye-rolling at the Benghazi hearing, to Ex Machina's sweetly homicidal Ava, or to New York City's 2015 manspreading misdemeanor. Misandry's here to stay, boys. Get used to it.

And she totally, clearly got Fury Road wrong (just for starters, Mad Max woke up from a horrendous injury-ridden ordeal and whupped Furiosa's ass and then saved her gang from driving off into their certain doom), which suggests she also got all the other shows wrong.

It looks like most people are still allergic to the f-word. In a culture where feminism seems to be gaining momentum, a new poll appears to contradict that notion, showing that only 18 percent of Americans consider themselves feminists. However, 85 percent claimed they believe in “equality for women.” Despite the popular belief in equal rights, 52 percent did not identify as feminist, 26 percent were unsure, and four percent passed on the question. The poll also revealed that 39 percent of the public doesn’t identify as strictly pro-life or pro-choice. The results makes us wonder how so many people can feel lukewarm about such important issues — and what can be done to ignite more passionate responses.

Hint: glorifying videos of Taylor Swift's female mooks kicking men in the nuts isn't going to ignite anything in feminism's favor.

Taylor Swift is a self-declared femminist.
However, some of her songs + video clips are in that line, whereas others are anything but.

What song are you referring to? Bad blood?

The article refers to "Bad Blood" and also "Blank Space" as glorifying misandry. You're right, though, her "You belong to me" is straight up a glorification of "but you owe me" entitlement culture that would make feminists scream if it was a song by a guy.

Define "gender equality."

Don't start thinking this is gonna drive people to your side, 4est.

Most blacks vote Democrat, most Hispanics vote Democrat, and most Asians also vote Democrat. And you guys are also bleeding out women voters, too.

Feminists and Conservatives exemplify the Horseshoe Theory.

Drive people to my "side?"

We're still trying to figure out what drove you insane...



Can you name all of the genders so that we can decide once and for all how to make them all equal?

Ah, there it is. You say this because you also think you're influencing people.

All of your patter is carbon copy, and thus isn't likely to influence anyone who isn't already thinking this way. It'd be nice if at least some of your shit was original.

Just because I said 4est isn't gaining followers doesn't mean I care if idiots like you are being influenced by what I say.

Reality will always influence society and you have no grasp of reality, just like 4est dump. You're just as ignorant, bigoted and utterly lacking in empathy as he is.

You of all people crack me up talking about carbon copy patter - considering that you're as predictable as 4est dump. You will always justify bigotry against men just as he justifies bigotry against anyone who's not a straight white rich male.

There's no difference between you and the right wingtards except who you hate.

That's why you're part of the increasingly irrelevant 18%.

That was some funny shit dere...



I don't care who you are!

Sara Fernanda Giromin first made herself known to Brazil and to the world under the alias “Sara Winter” in 2012, when she became the founding member of Femen Brazil, and led a trio of girls in a number of topless protests that garnered much media attention. However, only three years later, the young activist has done an about-face and has declared war on feminism and abortion, and is apologizing to Christians for her offensive behavior. She has also published a short book detailing the abuse and disappointment she suffered at the hands of fellow feminists.

Giromin’s changing attitudes were first revealed in October of this year, when she expressed her repentance for an abortion that took the life of her first child, and acknowledged that the recent birth of her second child had changed her attitudes regarding the right to life.

“I have repented of having had an abortion and today I ask for forgiveness,” wrote Giromin. “Yesterday marked one month after the birth of my baby and my life has taken on a new meaning. I’m writing this while he sleeps serenely on my lap. It is the greatest sensation in the world.”

“Please, women who are desperate to abort, think carefully about it. I was very sorry I did it. I don’t want the same for you,” she added.

In the months that have followed, Giromin has revealed to her readership her disillusionment with feminism and gender ideology, and has repudiated her “bisexual” orientation. She has also expressed remorse for having offended Christians in January of 2014, when she engaged in a well publicized same-sex kiss with another seminude girl with a cross in the background, in front of the Church of Our Lady of Candelária in Rio de Janeiro. The photo of the two had become iconic in Brazil of homosexual contempt for Christianity.

“Asking for forgiveness is certainly not an easy thing to do,” said Giromin in aYouTube video entitled “I ask Christians for forgiveness for feminist protest.” “We went way too far and ended up offending many religious and non-religious people,” she added, recognizing the stunt as a form of “blasphemy.” She adds that she is making progress in her own spiritual life, although the exact nature of her current beliefs remains unclear.

Although she left Femen in 2013 after denouncing it as a “business,” she had continued her bare-chested protests as the leader of a new feminist group comprised of both men and women, called “Bastardxs,” (allowing for both the masculine and feminine forms of the word “Bastards” in Portuguese). She has now made it clear that she regards herself as having no affiliation with feminism at all, repudiating the movement as a religious “sect” that uses women as objects, promotes lesbianism, and covers up pedophilia in its ranks.

“For the feminist sect women are not the inspiration, they are prime matter in the worst sense of the term. They are convenient objects useful for the purpose of inflaming hatred against the Christian religion, hatred against men, hatred against the beauty of women, hatred against the equilibrium of families. That’s what feminism is, and I can guarantee it is like that because I was on the inside!”

“I saw the feminist movement cover up for PEDOPHILES,” writes Giromin. “I saw the feminist movement PERSECUTE WOMEN ... I am a witness to the fact that today in the feminist movement women are not of any importance but serve as fuel for the fires of hatred that the feminist sect cannot allow to die.”
