Like most movements the loudest people get the most attention and therefore tend to be seen as representative of the entire group. For feminism those people are misandrist people who actively seek to belittle men and similar things.

Don't reflect on why people think about feminism the way they do, don't reflect on why people think about feminism the way they do, quick, find an answer that don't force us to do anything differently!
[–]pseudonarne 34 points35 points36 points  (14 children)
from feminists. they didn't kick out the batshit ones from the 80s and to an outsider the loudest voice speaks for the group. if theres a problem fix the pr don't just go "men"(cough only other reply so far cough) or it'll make stereotypes stronger ;P

    Kick them out? It's not a clubhouse.

    All the shade that gets thrown on 80's feminists needs to disappear. They were operating in different social structures with different discourse. Much of the equality that we see today (and despite the ways we have to go, gender equality has come a long way) is due to the radical actions of firebrand feminism in our recent history. Greer and Steinem may be maligned relics of the feminist genre but for their era they were radical and edgy.
    Wow- minus twenty at this stage. I stand by this opinion 100%.
    [–]the3rdoption 3 points4 points5 points  (7 children)
    Really? Cause a fair amount of what the public sees of feminism is from people like Chanty Binx. And there's not much vocal denouncement of that behavior. I wouldn't accept that crap from a severely emotionally disturbed person. Yet, there she is, showing the world that the negative stereotypes are true (despite the fact that she's nothing like the strong majority of feminists).
    [–]The_new_Regis 0 points1 point2 points  (6 children)
    I do not approve of the actions of any bully, and that is what this "Chanty Binx" person appears to be. I'm more concerned with the actions of seventies and eighties feminists being anachrononistically compared with the power structures of today.
    [–]the3rdoption 2 points3 points4 points  (5 children)
    And i don't care about the past actions. Let's talk about today. I can't change the past, sorry. But what firebrand feminists have been doing good recently? I'm honestly not aware of a single one that's done as much good as they have harm.
    [–]The_new_Regis 1 point2 points3 points  (4 children)
    Are you familiar with Pussy Riot? They're fucking awesome. I think you need to broaden your definition of feminist. It seems that you're only including negative stereotypes for consideration. Ellen Degeneres, Julia Gillard & Julie Bishop (Australian Politicians), Maya Angelou, Ita Butrose- arguably these women are all feminists.
    [–]the3rdoption 1 point2 points3 points  (3 children)
    Pussy Riot
    Sweet! You named one new wave feminist group. Though, I'm not sure they really changed anything. More like they raised awareness that Russia is still fucked. But let's not forget that (short version) Putin was an opponent of De-Stalinization.
    The rest are hold outs (and generally honorable people) from the last generation.
    [–]The_new_Regis 0 points1 point2 points  (2 children)
    Help me understand why you're angry at me. You asked for a new wave firebrand feminist group that has done more good than harm. I provided one. In your response you called on Vladimir Putin. As an LGBTI person I am pretty dissapointed in you.
    [–]The_new_Regis 0 points1 point2 points  (0 children)
    Modern young feminists. Miley Cyrus. Ellen Page. Bindi Irwin.
    Caitlin Stasey.
    [–]the3rdoption 0 points1 point2 points  (0 children)
    I didn't call on Vladimir Putin. I pointed out exactly why Pussy Riot is anyone. And it's not because they're amazing, witty people. It's because they were persecuted by a dictator wanna be. That's all.
    But you only provided one weak example.

    "They hate us because they're big meanie heads who buy into 100 year old propaganda"
    [–]Dared24 4 points5 points6 points  (0 children)
    They come from feminists. Just google feminism and the first link will take you to a bunch of misandrist quotes by prominent feminists. That is why.
    [–]TheOfficeJocky 4 points5 points6 points  (0 children)
    Where do any negative stereotypes come from? The source, ppppssshhhhh.

      .#2 is upsetting. Hilarious. But upsetting.
      And #5 frustrates me to no end. And every politician who wants the female vote submits some form of equal pay act... that more or less mirrors JFK's original. I promise, your employer is not paying you less just fire being a woman. Although... i definitely think there should be course on negotiating in college. Everyone could benefit from that.
      Edit: stupid hash-bold function
      [–]Oerath 2 points3 points4 points  (0 children)
      Well.... That did absolutely nothing to attempt to answer the question it posed.

        Itt: people not clicking the link
        [–]The_new_Regis 18 points19 points20 points  (0 children)
        the link is basically saying that feminists have enemies based on propaganda from their enemies. There really isn't that much too it other than some amusing and inaccurate cartoons.
        [–]♡thelastmindbender comment score below threshold-6 points-5 points-4 points  (2 children)
        Indeed. The top comment wouldn't make sense if you clicked the link?
