Christ, how offensive do you want to be?
What's the need to have a pop at the model
That's exactly the point i'm trying to make
How can you claim to be a real feminist when you treat the model woman like that?
Originally posted by batesAccusations of 'rape' and 'rapist' are thrown around willy nilly (i have no idea how you can rape someone over twitter but hey ho) and other outrageous threats and accusations are leveled at anyone who questions their motives.

that's it, that's the one thing that really confuses me.
it's how nasty they can be to other women.
I was just watching bbc breakfast and the feminist campaigner was not very nice at all to the model woman.
no word of a lie, she looking at the model as though she was a piece of dirt whilst saying "we hate people who treat woman like dirt"
one of the most bizarre things i've ever seen.

Now let me just clarify my position before i start on my 'rant'.
I'm not against the traditional feminists who are after equality, i'm on about the new band of feminists who want dominance over men and the other women they deem to be inferior.
They've been all over the news in Britain for the last few days because of getting Jane Austin on a bank note.
The traditional feminists who would see this as a nice victory and a step towards true equality has been muscled out of the way by a new type of openly man hating and rather aggressive type of feminist as they celebrate this 'victory' in the face of everyone who is willing to listen.
They way this is being celebrated is to try to take over twitter and every television show that will let them on to be loud, aggressive and intimidating to anyone who is too scared to stand up to them.
It's no longer a case of sticking up for women for these people, it's about something a lot more sinister.

I personal feel very intimidated and threatened by these women, yet feel i would be laughed out of town in the real world if i were to mention it to anyone. these women really are very scary individuals though and i'm sure they'd go to any lengths to get their way.
I feel nervous just making this thread but need to make this thread to see if others are equally intimidated.

This 'New' Feminism you highlight, is just another natural progression IMO.
Women in the Western World have been 'Inferior' for a Millenia...
Did you think we wouldn't bite back?
Lets see who rules the world in 2200.edit on 29-7-2013 by ObservingYou because: (no reason given)
A man has been arrested after a feminist campaigner was deluged on Twitter with abuse and threats of rape, Scotland Yard has confirmed. The 21-year-old was detained earlier in the Manchester area on suspicion of harassment offences. Caroline Criado-Perez faced abuse after successfully campaigning for a woman's face to appear on UK banknotes. Labour has complained to Twitter about what it says was an "inadequate response" to the abuse. Ms Criado-Perez, who had appeared in the media to campaign for women to feature on banknotes, said the abusive tweets began the day it was announced that author Jane Austen would appear on the newly designed £10 note. She reported them to the police after receiving "about 50 abusive tweets an hour for about 12 hours" and said she had "stumbled into a nest of men who co-ordinate attacks on women".

People were getting accused of being rapists for simply disagreeing with that woman.
