Admit One

[Bridge]

The popular misconception of feminism as a hate movement - particularly the conflation of it with the extremely misogynist Nazi ideology - is boring and spouted by thoughtless people. When women are half of the species, equal treatment is necessary and sensible.

But come on, guys, let's all get hyper-emotional and ironically 'feminine' when some girl/guy even mentions sexism. It's our duty as children to screech and shut down discussion, because clearly listening and solving those actual problems. Let's just assume all feminists want to roast your balls on an open fire because bogeywomen are easier to create than, say, teaching more men to not be rapists.

Spoiler below!

Talking about feminism with male gamers is always a lost cause.

Is this a joke? I don't see how it's possible for someone to write such a condescending and hypocritical statement. Do you really not see how fallacious it is to refute an argument in favor of sexual discrimination with such an egregious double standard? To top it off, the arguments you were supposedly refuting were totally imaginary.

Can you point me to one post here that claims that feminism is inherently a hate movement, or that gender equality is something that should not be strived for?

Which brings me to the double standard I mentioned. Why does the opinion of a male weigh less to you than that of a woman? That is in itself sexism and illustrates that you are just as disillusioned as the extremists. Furthermore, why does the fact that one is a gamer have any bearing on one's credence when it comes to this issue? Ignoring the fact that the number of female gamers has seen a very sharp rise in recent years, the idea that gamers are all basement dwellers with no knowledge of how the real world works is an entirely different type of discrimination. So, answer me truthfully: Does what a female gamer think about sexism have more weight than what a male gamer thinks about sexism? If you answered yes, then it is clear that you do not actually advocate equality, but are just as bad as the feminist extremists you claim to loath, spinning crazy tales of one large male conspiracy.
