Henry Spencer wrote: When did this feminism thing take off anyway? I'm honestly curious, I try to just stay away from these sorts of things people get outraged at nowadays, but was it when Twitter was first created and people think they could "change" things? Is it social media's fault people complain about everything nowadays? (Hint: it is). People sure seem angrier now about everything. Is there something put into people's food to make their testosterone levels higher? Can't we just get along?
Feminism has a long storied history, at least in America. As a Black woman I can go long and deep into it. For example, many feminists, when they talk of feminism, they speak directly of WHITE feminism. The only equality they are after is for them and their own race of women. Back in the 1800's and early 1900's during the suffrage movement, many of these activists didn't consider black women to be women. So this goes years. Over a century, even.
But modern feminisms roots start in the 60's.
The fact you think it's new shows your own bubble.
All of what you're seeing today on social media isn't new. It's been said for decades, centuries. You're just now exposed to it because your world is a little smaller now thanks to the Internet.
In today's world, you must grow accustomed to varying points of opinion. Because as said, our world is a lot smaller now. It's not that people are more angry, though in the black community we definitely are, it's just that you are now exposed to views you never had to think about, consider, or even be around before the Internet. But it's been there for decades.
but this is exactly why I don't fuck with gamers and most nerds. Nerds end up thinking they are owed because they are so socially isolated they become entitled and bitter. And male nerds on top of that?
