>” One male professor explicitly told me that feminism is the project of dismantling male privilege. Thus, no man could pursue his rational self-interest and be a feminist.” I have to agree with him. I’m sorry, but I wouldn’t trust wal-mart to review food stamps laws, I wouldn’t trust white people to review slavery laws, [...]

Point by point for you: He said that he thought they were needlessly aggressive, confrontational and mean-spirited : Well, we were asking nicely for an end to rape culture for decades, and nothing happened. We were confrontational, and we get thrown in the newspaper and students everywhere are talking about rape culture. All things considered, [...]

Since a bunch of men are wandering in to tell the women that they’re being overly suspicious, illogical, and overemotional, and reaching out and catering to men is a GREAT idea because men are GREAT and deserve unabashed catering at all times… I’m willing to bet it’s a bad idea, and we SHOULD change the [...]

I feel guilty typing this, but…. I kinda knew when I clicked the story that the trans person would be a white trans man. All things considered, no hate on Donnie! All things considered he’s my brother and I’m glad he got the surgery he needs to be healthy. But this ‘dependence on the kindness [...]

He was found “not guilty”. That does not mean he was found innocent. It means that there was an insufficient amount of evidence to legally convict him. The courts have not proved his innocence. Public opinion exists, that’s just the way it is. Do you call people out when they say that OJ simpsons probably [...]

“Will had to physically restrain the father,” Watters said, nodding to one of the men marching in a pro-choice jacket. Well, Will is officially the asshole of the day.

“So you can be black or gay or “differently” intelligent, and that is good for the infantry, because that will better prepare you for killing someone and helping others kill people than having a vagina.” Your writing style there is bombastic, immature, and useless.

Jemma Howitzer commented on the blog post Infographic: Health disparities faced by the transgender community 6 months, 3 weeks ago · View
It is 2012. For God’s sake, can we please stop using outdated terms like “Male-to-female” and “female-to-male”? Trans women were never male, and trans men were never female. This idea that we once were prioritizes doctor’s assignments over patients lived realities. This idea that we once were assigns any portion of validity and reality to [...]

BRIANNA MANNING you insensitive bigoted jerk. How DARE you misgender her, and use her birth name in an article about how trans political prisoners are ignored and glossed over. How DARE you try to teach us how to advocate for our rights, while you further establish the dominant cissexual hierarchy of power.

Jemma Howitzer commented on the blog post “Creepy anti women laws” shown in perspective. 8 months, 1 week ago · View
“Lady Parts Justice”
Trans men have pregnancies and abortions, trans women don’t. The idea of calling uteri “lady parts” seems juvenile.
Am I crazy to want to replace “women” with “people with uteri”?

You’re not here to learn, you’re here to recite the clever little quotes you heard some MRA invent, that are supposed to convert feminists to mens rights activists.

There’s always some man who rolls up to the womens forums and tells us we’re overanalyzing something that doesn’t exist, that 4chan isn’t sexist it just “is”, and that we’re being too emotional about “nothing” because the internet is the internet. Basically, you want us to stop talking about it, stop thinking about it, and [...]

I can’t take you seriously if you use words like misandrist in a non-ironic manner, and compare feminists and masculinists as if they’re two sides of the same coin.
