    Do you identify as a feminist?

    essentially, i'm on the same side as Butterfree. i am far from denying that sexism exists. i just fail to see what this has to do with actual sexism. this is just pointless pickiness about language, it seems to me.

    Do you identify as a feminist?

    it's true, they're masculine but take 1F endings. i'm not one hundred percent sure why, but that's how it's stated in the sources i've checked. masculine, takes 1F endings. i assume they take masculine adjectives. blah

    Do you identify as a feminist?

    i've definitely used shampoo (or conditioner or some similar product) that had FOR MEN stamped on it because the brand was typically made "for" women. and it was stupidly darkly colored and hardcore and shit. this works both ways. grammatical gender? did you know that in Latin, the words...

    Do you identify as a feminist?

    well yeah, 'homo' is the noun and 'humanus' is the adjective that came from 'homo'. i used 'humanus' because it looks closer to 'human'. :P

    Do you identify as a feminist?

    while we're on the subject of the English language and sexism, what about 'human'? which i believe also comes from Latin humanus.

    Do you identify as a feminist?

    jesus christ what are you doing it wasn't an "ad hominem attack", i'm not even in this debate anymore; i was just poking fun. secondly, "that" is a demonstrative pronoun. pronouns exist so you don't have to repeat the same name or word over and over again because it sounds dumb. congratulations?

    Do you identify as a feminist?

    is it fun to end all of your sentences with question marks like this? even though it sounds a bit silly? :P i agree that sexism is mostly targeted at women. but not all sexism is! i'm simply saying that feminism is just a bit misleading, and it causes people to be distrustful. i'm nit-picking...

    Do you identify as a feminist?

    if the name is misleading, what exactly is the objection in changing it if it will only help the movement ...? since that seems to be the sentiment here. and what i believe Tarvos to be saying is basically, why should i have to call myself a feminist and something else? why not just equalist or...

    Do you identify as a feminist?

    lol i don't understand, are you telling me i don't realise sexism exists? i realise what advantages i have over non-white, non-male people (though i'm not exactly cisgendered). i'm also aware that society expects some things out of me as a male that i can't/don't want to live up to. i know...

    Do you identify as a feminist?

    well, it appears that everyone in this thread has misconceptions about the "true" definition of feminism, and this is likely due to the fact that there are indeed so many splinter groups and what not within the movement, just as there seem to be with many other movements. i find it extremely...
