I have guns, land, and agricultural know-how. I will train an army of NEETs and become the ancap warlord.

I find it hard to be progressive with all the irrational fears being promoted across the movement
If we'd take a step back and realize these issues are nothing but fear mongering propaganda to make everyone angry, maybe we could then all work together
But the elite wants us to be divisive and hate each other. We are easier to control then

How they FEEL is the problem.

I do agree with the basic feminist "agenda" that everyone should be treated equally, but I absolutely despise that it's used as an excuse to do all sorts of stupid shite. Similarly, I agree with the basic conservative tenets of small government (and taxes to match), free markets, and you can pry my guns from my cold, dead hands, but I can't bring myself to identify as a conservative because it seems these days the crazies are running the show.
Do you consider yourself a feminist?

Yep. The internment camps meme was just another instance of their irrational fears.
Has Trump outlawed gay yet
Their irrationality stems from a small world view, which is a byproduct of bubble dwelling. I'm astounded at some of their racial and other views. Many still have a mindset that the world is pre1960

A population of people feel marginalized and want to act on it in the country where they vote and pay taxes, and your response is, "well what about them over there? You should be grateful!"
My response to them would involve stats and facts. The system favors women. There are some assholes (male and female) that believe and do terrible things to one another. Systemic problems can be protested and changed. Assholes can't.
No, this was not a response to these womens' grievances, this was me wondering how their protest made women feel who live in societies with systemic oppression.

It was a distinctly American protest.
quote:Yep, Trump's election kicked this off, because I think he is seen as the symptom of the underlying problem.
Doing it on the day after the inauguration means their valid message was moslty lost in a sea of anti-Trump protestation.
quote:You're assuming the motives are the same for over a million people.
All women? That was less than 1% of American women.

Your views seem more in line with an economic liberal. While I disagree with some of them, I find them sane. I'm shocked at how mainstream craziness (and it crosses party lines) has become.

So you are a conservative but you just don't tell anyone?
No sane person IRL would argue that people shouldn't be treated equally.
I'm still wondering how women aren't treated equally. Their protest was ineffective in that regard. But, the intent wasn't to garner understanding IMO.

Everyone should be treated equally in politeness and assumption of good character until proven otherwise.
We should not, however, treat people as if they are all equals.

quote:I would if I felt like it would make a difference, but it doesn't. I've discussed how much I hate government handouts on this board before. But because I also say that I understand the necessity and I believe the welfare system can be reworked in a positive way, several people come along and bash welfare as redistribution, and I'm a liberal again.
So you are a conservative but you just don't tell anyone?
So I guess how I'm tagged isn't my choice, but everyone else's.

I can only comment on what I saw and heard. With the internet and everyone holding a camera, we get great insight on what is happening in public spaces. You are accusing me of speculating on the motives of the protesters. I have viewed about an hour of video from multiple protests and seen hundreds of pictures from the domestic protests. All evidence points to this being a largely American protest. Where is the evidence to support your position that this was a march for the women in countries with systemic oppression?
And why did you say less than 1% of American women was all women?

I suppose they protested Bill Clinton's inauguration and protested Hillary for bashing his accusers.
What policies would he enact by EO that they fear?

And that control stems from a lack of respect for women, and that is plainly on full display on this board. Do you not see it?
