Yet if an injustice is done to a male, some of these outspoken feminists are pretty indifferent or uncaring about it. As said before, it's not promoting female equality...it's promoting female supremacy. They should be relabeled as female supremacists.
I wonder why...

So you're suggesting that feminism is all about promoting female supremacy just because there are a few uncaring douchbags who call themselves feminists? I know many feminists who are equally caring and considerate about any gender colour or creed.

Calling anyone a "social justice warrior" also makes you comes across as a complete tool, I'm sorry, it just has that effect, so I hope you are aware and don't ever say it in the real world. What does it even mean? I've honestly never seen that expression used by anyone else except unjustifiably angry videogame forum members.
And in what world has the wage gap been "debunked"? It's well reported by any reputable source that in both your country and mine, there is a very real wage gap.
I don't care about stuff like page 3, or about the word "cunt" (as it's not gender specific anymore), but pretending that sexism doesn't exist in our societies and is only relegated to "ass backwards counties" is an exercise in willful ignorance.

How? The only differences are arbitrary biological ones.

They are always the most outspoken. Whether they are wrong or right they always get heard first. So I guess the issue then is to make those voices more reasonable and logical so we can ALL have a serious conversation. Not just with feminism but with any topic.

I guess the issue is like this: Say, for example, this entire forum were a feminist forum where people talk about feminist issues all the time, right? Now someone makes a topic about how much radical feminists piss them off. At that point, people are already discussing actual feminist issues so complaints about radicals isn't such a big deal. It isn't detracting.
However, what I end up seeing much of the time is that feminism gets brought up and the topic is instantly shot down with complaints about radical feminism. Real discussions never get a chance to happen.
I fail to see how the usual differences in physical strength, reproductive roles, nurturing acuity, and mind-affecting hormone levels are anything to be glossed over.
id you actually read the claim? Hensley said that she'd got post-traumatic stress disorder from reading mean things about her on Twitter. She compared her experience of reading mean things on Twitter is comparable to what war veterans with PTSD face. Do you really think the levels of suffering are anywhere close to the same level?
