You can't see how many houses are on fire because you never leave yours, bucko.

Okay, bro. This is a story about a crazy lady who threw bricks at a dude's car, in response to which a number of women made some jokes on Facebook. You might as well be worried for the future of Christianity because of articles like this (http://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/Fedora-Wearing-Thief-Targeting-Churches-90710579.html). Note the comments, too!!!

It's okay, you guys. With recent events like Laci Green actually wanting to talk to people who disagree with her instead of calling them Hitler (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQ1ga8yuM50) and Everyday Feminism having to resort to begging for donations (https://everydayfeminism.com/donate-to-ef/) (looks like they'll easily make it this month, but how long will people keep it up?), it looks like modern feminist "activism" is on its way out.

In 2017 people show they aren't racist or sexist by inciting violence against a particular group purely based on their race and sex.

The world has indeed gone mad.

Top marks to the commenter who pulls the reductio ad absurdum by pointing out that women perpetrate the vast majority of child abuse and infanticide. This article is as bad as saying mass shootings justify gun bans.

Nope. I mean a man.

"Of the woman came the beginning of sin, and through her we all die." (Ecclesiastes 25:22)

"And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire." (Leviticus 21:9)

Women are evil, duh. The only way we can live a virtuous life is if we follow our husbands blindly.

Where on Earth is that from? I can't decide whether it's so cartoonishly over-the-top that it's a parody or not...

The artist's name is Emily Youcis. She's extremely open about her racist beliefs and proudly identifies as a Nazi, so it's not a parody.

I posted that comic thinking it was an obvious parody, so if it's not I will be really sad and worried about the creator.

Well, she was actually fired for being a White Nationalist.

Although she does seem like a really intense Rushy. So she could just be a life long character troll. It's difficult to tell.

What I most enjoy about the comic is the implication that choosing between feminism versus "tradition" affects what kind of sex you like and which men you find attractive.

But both of them still rely on the man's paycheck since seemingly neither women have jobs.

Anita Sarkeesian took time out of her duties as a panelist at VidCon to call Sargon of Akkad "human garbage" and a "shit head".  His crime?  Watching her quietly.  Glad she is standing up against the evils of harassment.

Yeah, he has been very critical of Sarkeesian. But to have an outspoken anti-harassment, anti-bullying advocate use her platform as a panelist to start slinging insults at an audience member seems hypocritical in the extreme.

I get it that it's hypocritical. Not rising to his bait would be the mature thing to do. But, I don't fault her for being a typical reactionary human. People are assholes.

word, i can totally see what you mean.  tbh neither of them seems like they'd be much fun at a party.

in her defense, i think there's a difference between the kind of harassment she's rallying against and calling someone a name at a conference.  i don't think her advocacy reduces to 'never be mean, ever.'  i think it's more like 'please stop threatening to rape me every time i play a video game or make a blog post.'  which, to rooster's point, would probably get frustrating.

She has actually specifically referenced almost exactly the same type of attacks as the biggest segment of the problem. I think she calls them "you suck" comments.

Feminism is about the empowering of women, and it promotes equality and welfare for women. I am a loyal feminist and will continue to support the cause!
