  1. A lot of feminists misinterpret this and respond with: "I belong to NO man. I'm an independent woman."
    Aye, it's perfectly possible to be an independent woman and still have a loving male companion. Those who think otherwise have had a bad experience with men, or have been radicalised by anti-men propaganda.

    Currently trying to remember the musician who was murdered by a man-hating woman in the...70s?

    But... For the other countries that are in dire help, THEY need feminism.
    That's a giant thumbs up from me.
  2. Females and minorities in the USA are given better initial pay offerings and benefits to entice them, and it all revolves around getting paid by the government to not hire white men.

     

    Which is still a more passive-aggressive form of sexism - increasing female employment solely to produce certain statistics and figures. They do it to make themselves look good - if there wasn't a drive for diversity, they most likely wouldn't bother. It's discriminatory because it's being done for the wrong reasons, which you make clear with:

    Hire based on qualifications, not based on gender or skin color.
    I support this statement fully. It's a case of 'be judged for what you do, not for who you are', something which is currently completely ignored by the British Government. It is a crucial part of the change in social attitude that I refer to.
  3. My big 12oz beef steak on the Vent thread was the generalisation of Feminism being a 'fucking joke' and the claim that women are 'no longer oppressed'.

     

    Now granted, there is a segment of so-called 'feminists' that disgrace the cause (my common example is the lass who aborted her 6-month fetus because it was a boy) and are deserving of the term 'feminazi'. But generally speaking it's a very benign and very important movement. It's called 'feminism' because it started as a cause to give women the same rights as men. And in the western world, that's by and large been achieved, save for a bunch of sociological issues that need ironing out.

     

    But it's the Eastern world that needs the help of feminism. In countries such as India (the world's fasting growing democracy my arse), women are perceived as fair game for rape if they're out at night without a man to protect them. Islamic fundamentalism turns women into literal objects for trading and such like. Sex trafficking. Domestic abuse. Slut shaming. Revenge porn. Divina McCall recently said that women need to keep their man 'satisfied' or they'll go elsewhere. The very existence of ReturnOfKings.net.

     

    It's these issues and ideologies of women being a secondary, subservient class of human that makes feminism a necessary, global cause today.

     

    And yes, feminism has a tarnished reputation because of the overzealous nutcases, but then again, so do the three Abrahamic religions, so does the SNP, so do gun-owners, so does the internet. I wouldn't mind a renaming for the modern times, perhaps the United Equality Movement, if it'll take the feminazis out of the equation.

     

    As for the achievement of equality: absolute equality is nigh-on impossible, unless we turn humanity into a single-sex species. But gaining the next best thing is simply a matter of changing our attitudes. If we change our attitudes, our actions will change. It'll be a domino-effect that would cause a huge social upheaval that would cause everyone/everything that isn't a white heretosexual male to have the same worth as said male.

     

    Call me raving revolutionary lunatic, but this is the one thing I want to witness in my lifetime. And I think it's perfectly achievable. But it will be met by the fiercest opposition that will betray everyone's inner prejudices, that will fight tooth and nail to keep the old mentalities alive.

  4. *Gun Banter*
    There's a thread for that. Let's not get into it here, but what I will say is a facebook comment I saw yesterday, that said 'if we replaced the guns with knives, there'd be stabbings instead of shootings', which I think sums up everything quite nicely.

    Shamefully procrastinating when I should be sorting out gear for storage.

  5. Feeling pretty dece'.

    Went to the Quayside with my drummer bandmate, where had a gander in the drum centre. Bought me a pair of Vic Firth 5A sticks to see how I get on with something lighter, and checked out Remo's 'SilentStroke' heads. Crazy stuff.

     

    Afterwards went back to mine and had a PS2 sesh with Pizza. Good times.
