so if they don't call themselves radical, they aren't radical? that doesn't make any sense.

I'm asking you to give me an example of what a regular feminist is to you vs. what a "molested/mentally ill" as you put it feminist is to you. What kind of things do they say/believe in.

don't link me a video, tell me in your own words.

congratulations, we've reached some common ground and once again shown that what we were saying really wasn't all that different you were just being needlessly difficult and defensive.

Alright, if you believe this is true then why are many women afraid of coming forward? They will tell you that they feel the exact opposite and that if they come forward they will be blamed because of what they wore, because they "egged him on" that men "can't control themselves"


So the one's that happily come forward are the one's that are lying? The true rape victims are scared while the fake ones are not?

Maybe something to this, to some degree.

Liberal Feminism holds that the oppression of women is the denial of their equal rights, representation, and access to opportunities. Liberal Feminism takes a gender-neutral/gender-blind approach and holds that all men and women are created equal and should be treated the same, and seeks to reform oppressive systems. Liberal Feminism focuses strongly on fixing women's exclusion from political power.

Radical Feminism, is, as its name implies, more radical than Liberal feminism. Radical Feminism carries the belief that "the personal is political" and sees that the oppression of women is caused by patriarchy, a system of male authority, strongly manifested in sexuality, personal relationships, and the family, and then carried over into the rest of the man-dominated world.

If we have done everything we can, except for violating the rights of the accused, then yes we should stop.

There is not a man in this thread that would not want to see a true rapist punished to the fullest extent of the law, and beyond. However, it has become open season on men when woman can and do claim rape simply because they changed their mind the next morning.

You'd probably need clarify "feminist" and/or "views" to appropriately address that. Many "feminists" do in fact maintain wildly extreme views, and many come from unenviable backgrounds.

You started with a claim unrelated to the OP, backed it up with a citation that wasn't accurate, argued over it in an illogical way and I'm the problem in the thread.

I honestly am unsure of what or why you're arguing. Are rapes under reported? Yup. You don't do away with the basic rights of the accused to fix that problem. And that is what colleges and universities are doing in their student proceedings. And that is what Will's whole column addresses.

this isn't in your own words but fine.

I'm pretty much done with this thread, but I do subscribe to Liberal feminism, and furthermore IMO, the republican party and the right in general is diametrically opposed to those values. If you want to vote with them anyway that's you're right obviously.

Awwww, Rexella's little heart is breaking because some mean old Republicans are waging a "war" on women.

Yet, when his idol Obama foolishly and unsuccessfully tried to prop up the extremist Muslim Brotherhood in the Middle East, a bloodthirsty group who believe in Sharia Law, a system that treats women worse than cattle, little Rexella's voice was strangely silent.

Just one more example of just how hypocritical Maggie's Daddy really is.......

yeah, you are. if you can't talk to someone without using personal attacks, it shows that you don't have a legitimate opinion to stand on.

I was trying to get to the heart of why so many in this thread are inexplicably defensive about simple facts. I think I have cleared some of it up. Some.

And when did I say we should?
