History of Feminism

YOU decide what feminism is. Women don't get to determine what rights we fight for. That is your choice. We need to shut the fuck up and take what's given to us.

No "feminist" man insists women don't have a right to determine what their own interests are. No man who respects equal rights for all thinks he gets to determine what a feminist is. No man who is even likes women insists that they aren't feminists and that he knows what is best for women. http://sync.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=4080120

Because the entire issue of rape porn is about male sexual desire. It's not about the right of women to be free from rape. The women in the scenario don't count. It's all about YOUR urges. Not the porn workers, not the rape victim, not the enslaved women, YOU and what YOU want. Subsidize human trafficking, what do you care. Actively promote rape culture that raises havoc on the lives of 20-25% of women in this country. Scoff at concerns about violence because you think we are supposed to find them erotic. What we want, our sexual desires, our rights to safety mean nothing. All that matters is male arousal. Women can exert choice as long as it corresponds to what YOU want. As soon as they challenge your privilege in any way, they no longer qualify as feminists and need to shut the fuck up and take what they are given.

There is one kind of man who thinks he has a right to decide what rights women can have and when they need to shut up; one kind of men who thinks HE has the right to determine what feminism is--that type is the furthest thing possible from feminist as can possibly be.
