Didn't any of you clearly angry people bother watching those videos I posted on the previous page? I mean, ok so you don't agree with Anita Sarkeesian. That's fine, she has an opinion and so do you. But why are you getting so irrationally angry over her opinion?
1- You clearly don't read what you don't want to read and see what you don't want to read, because I posted the series before you.
2- Where do you see "irrational anger" ?? Posting some funny pictures ??
mue 26 wrote:I do, but that nothing at all to do with anything. My point was that comparing suffering full stop is just fucking stupid. So yeah, I think anyone who says "my suffering is akin to a war veteran's" is silly. But I think anyone who says "NO YOUR SUFFERING IS OBJECTIVELY NOT AS BAD" is just a fully blown moron. And that sentence is symptomatic of the typical non compassionate, inhumane attitude many people on the internet have towards others. Bullying is bullying, it doesn't matter if it's in twitter, school, or the workplace (and I think "mean tweet" somewhat downplays just how abusive, personal and violent twitter harassment can be). People commit suicide over bullying, and I can't wrap my mind around how you cannot comprehend this.
Actually some third wave feminist thinks that their problems are bigger than anyone else, that's why they rant all day.

Go on, please finish that sentence mate.
I don't agree with her on everything, but I think those tweets that were posted are pretty correct. Care to actually put forward a coherent opposing argument and not some dumb meme?
I didn't think it was needed to finish the sentence because it was pretty easy to understand the meaning (I guess not), so there you go:
If he thinks Sarkeesian is right, he can believe anything.
And yes, about Anita there's a lot I have to say and did say.
Also the video posted before me tells a lot about the epistemologic center of her (and also that anyone that can put 2 sentences in a row can be called a "feminist schollar").
