https://www.washingtonpost.com/n…A woman in Charleston, W.Va., may have saved her own life and the lives of many other women, as well, when she shot and killed an alleged attacker in her home last week.
Neal Falls showed up at the woman’s home on July 18 after answering an escort ad she had placed on Backpage.com, according to police. He showed up with a “kill list,” multiple pairs of handcuffs and a Subaru full of weapons and tools, including a shovel, knives, a bulletproof vest, a machete, bleach, trash bags, sledgehammers and axes, according to Fox affiliate KPTV.

Sad Girl Theory proposes that the sadness of girls should be recognised as an act of resistance. Political protest is usually defined in masculine terms – as something external and often violent, a demonstration in the streets, a riot, an occupation of space. But I think that this limited spectrum of activism excludes a whole history of girls who have used their sorrow and their self-destruction to disrupt systems of domination. Girls’ sadness is not passive, self-involved or shallow; it is a gesture of liberation, it is articulate and informed, it is a way of reclaiming agency over our bodies, identities, and lives.- meanwhile in the real world where sadness is defined as masculine but any man that shows it's emotions is labeled weeks

I've met some 15yo kids that could create better animations than all of them put together,youtube has literally thousands of channels with people making animations and they are a lot more entertaining that this self absorbed arty crap they call animation,
look at it if you don't believe me and those are people supposed to discuss the gender bias in animation without ever had produced anything relevant for the advancement of women in animation,
but this is a pattern with feminism:

(Not) All Men
Why women want to believe Our Dudes are the exceptionhttps://medium.com/matter/not-al…
Any woman can spot an anonymous misogynist. A man might flick his tongue as we pass on the sidewalk, or sprawl all over a seat on the bus when we’re carrying three bags. He might jerk off in front of us or be that online dating match who sends an unsolicited cock shot. A man we’ve barely met might interrupt us on a panel, or offer litanies of their accomplishments without bothering to hear about ours. A man we see on TV might punch his fiancée in an elevator, or prey on underage girls, or repeatedly get accused of rape.
We’ve come to a point in the gender wars where certain repugnant male behavior is no longer up for debate among reasonable people. Republicans have taken up the mantle of domestic violence; Megyn Kelly will grill Donald Trump about sexist tweets on national television; spousal rape has gone from acceptable to illegal in all 50 states. Even the lesser offenses are universal enough that we now have terms for them — some that seem old-fashioned, like “catcalling”; others that have recently sprung from the internet like “manspreading” or “mansplaining.”
And yet one of the major obstacles in the Fight Against Patriarchy is that a sexist guy will always seem like an outsider — a bad-news ex-boyfriend, perhaps, but not your male feminist friend, your super chill brother, your gentle dad. Never the bros you know and love, never the “fair-minded guys who want women to succeed.” Never one of Our Guys.But realistically, mathematically, it doesn’t add up: We must know some of these dudes. It wasn’t always so easy for our supposed male allies to hide in plain sight; when radical feminists first burst on the scene at a New Left rally in Washington, DC, in 1969, progressive hippie men screamed at a women’s libber: “Take her off the stage and fuck her!” Paradoxically, now that such blatant sexist behaviors are in theory no longer tolerated, we convince ourselves that the specific men in our lives would never engage in them. It’s why the concept of date rape still provokes the deepest self-doubt in the most confident women: a playful peer, a friend, wouldn’t cross that line.
I felt a pang of this self-delusion the weekend Stoya tweeted that James Deen had raped her. I never quite drank the James-Deen-is-a-feminist Kool-Aid, but it had been comforting that he was a boy I recognized, someone who could’ve gone to my summer camp or Hebrew school. He, as Kitty Stryker wrote on Medium, “was supposed to be one of the good guys.” Shamefully, my first reaction to the tweets was to hope Stoya was lying. Because if James Deen is a rapist, what does that say about the guys he reminds us of?
When I witness sexists in action, I almost don’t think of them as humans. But that guy who demonstratively ogled me on the street the other day, the guy whose face I can’t even remember? He has friends and family living in a parallel universe where he’s a decent person. Thelma and Louise asked the truck driver pointing to his lap and waggling his tongue: “How’d you feel if someone did that to your sister, or your mother, or your wife?” Yet we never quite ask: “What if your sister, or your mother, or your wife knew you were a harassing piece of shit?”
This cognitive dissonance can be distilled into that little phrase, brilliant for its simplicity: Not All Men. The meme dates back to 1985 when Joanna Russ, in her feminist novel On Strike Against God, wryly repeated the bad-faith motto. It’s the echo of every man wishing to exempt himself from misogyny by pointing out that not all men — and especially not him — manspread, mansplain, manterrupt, catcall, harass, intimidate, hit, rape. But it’s also every woman hoping he’s right, hoping that the world she’s created doesn’t include such faceless creeps. Even Stoya said it took “months and months” to call her rape what it was. The internet fuses these two opposing forces in ugly ways, like when you see a guy friend liking pics of scantily clad teenage girls on Instagram, or when a man’s unhinged outrage over a polite romantic rejection occurs against the backdrop of family-friendly Facebook. But even those wake-up calls aren’t enough to convince us that those two worlds are, in fact, just part of one.
When we see or hear that our dudes have done some of these things, we make hideous excuses for them. In 1989, the idyllic town of Glen Ridge, New Jersey, protected its star athletes after they gang-raped a mentally handicapped girl in a basement. Similarly, in 2012, when several football players in Steubenville, Ohio were accused of sexual assault, a social media trail burnished behind them, much of the town fiercely defended their boys; the grandmother of one of the accused said he was just “at the wrong place at the wrong time.” Last month, news broke of an entire Missouri town that couldn’t fathom that their “good man” had sexually abused a girl more than 300 times over 13 years — even when he confessed. “Darren is one of the most admirable people I know,” wrote a friend of the convicted rapist, in a letter begging the court to go easy on him.
Well, that’s Middle America, the cosmopolitan among us might think. But I’ve made these excuses, too. In 2004, I was getting sloshed at a bar with a bawdy, outrageous girl I had just met. Eventually I found out she went to the same college as “Chris,” a guy I’ve known since forever. When I cheerily asked whether she knew him, she replied, fiercely, “He raped my friend.” She told me “everyone knows to stay away from him.” She told me he was a “shitty person.”
It was a needle-off-the-record moment, the impact of which has obscured my memory of exactly how I replied. I must have acted defensively; I know I didn’t ask for any details. I still see Chris—whom I remember as a kind-hearted kid with a beatific and liberal mother—once or twice a year, at which point I desperately try and fail to erase that decade-old memory. His every remark about girls or sex or parties seem loaded with meaning. The last time Chris and I chilled, he was drunker than I’d ever seen him. When he put a hand on my back for a split second, it gave me shivers.
I’ve engaged in endless rationalizing, denial, excuses that teeter dangerously on the side of victim-blaming: “Maybe she’s exaggerating,” or “Maybe they were both too drunk to remember,” or “Maybe that chick I met at the bar is just crazy, or mistaken, or a pathological liar.” That “gray rape” concept I once rolled my eyes at? This must be the one true case of it. Still, even now, I refuse to believe it’s true. I would rather die than ask him about it.
We’re all gripped by a constant negotiation and cycle of forgiveness with the people in our lives. A gay man will wave off a whiff of homophobia from his sister because he knows “she’s not like that.” A woman of color will ignore racially off-kilter comments from her white friends because she knows where their hearts are. Any of us who’s stayed close with less-than-perfect people has needed to reach for some form of denial and focused on the reasons why we love them. Forgiveness is a virtue, right?
It’s painful to think about what we’re burying, but the alternative is equally undesirable. It would mean seeing every human as an insignificant speck of a larger problem rather than balls of contradiction and messiness. It would mean not trusting anyone. And it would require giving up on a staggering number of people, especially Our Dudes.
But maybe we don’t have to choose. Maybe we can confront the misogynists we love head-on, precisely because we love them. We owe it to the men in our lives to call them out; we owe it to other women who shatter our compartmentalized views of guys we think we know. At the very least, we owe it to ourselves to admit that no man is immune to patriarchy. In his devastating profile of R. Kelly, wherein he asks how we can bump to the grooves of an alleged serial statutory rapist, David Marchese employs a quote from F. Scott Fitzgerald: “The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at once.” The most evolved state of all is loving our dudes and hating their faults. We just have to stay woke while we do it.

This pseudo-quote summarizes the entire philosophy of feminism:
"In a patriarchal society all heterosexual intercourse is
rape because women, as a group, are not strong enough to
give meaningful consent."
https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Ca…As you know, in the US sex with children (<18 yo) is considered rape, regardless of the opinions of the victim ("statutory rape"), because children have no legal right to give consent to sex.
In other words, children are all recognized as deranged, walking pieces of meat, and their opinions about sex have zero weight for the judicial system.A similar position is held by feminists towards women: all sex is rape, because women (as a group) have no political power to refuse or accept. Pretty humiliating position for women to be in, but a goldmine for political manipulation, like that story with that NASA scientist and his shirt
- Yes, that sums up feminism perfectly.

"the sexual revolution was the mockery of the century, because now women were giving to men for free what they used to have to marry us for"
^^Feminism summed up in two lines
Basically, modern feminism is
1. fight against prostitution
2. fight against pornography
3. fight against sexual promiscuityThat is, the feminists are trying to turn "sexual revolution" of the 60s 180 degrees around and criminalize all what was decriminalized
Feminism is an ultra-conservative puritan movement, which not surprisingly has no contradictions with the Saudi Arabis living under sharia or Islamists who demand introduction of Sharia law everywhere.
All because all three have the same problems, and the solution is not very much different.
- well, I'm happy I'm not the only noticing that when it comes to sexuality, feminists are some of the biggest hypocrites out there,georgesIII
- you've gotta take into account that feminists differ greatly in dogma person to person. by the literal definition of feminism we are all feministsNaOHaqueous
