So I went over my friends yesterday, and we were playing a racing game, and he said shall I turn ABS on for you, as in anti - lock braking system, and I was like dude ABS as in abdominals is always on when I'm here because I go to the gym you know.

Max you are going to need a very comfortable test tube and possibly a chocolate stirring rod so I have something to eat during my time in science education.

I have a blue-orange scale of sexuality.

So, more of... hetero-necktie.

Meh.
I don't really like feminism as the concept that it has taken on, so the way she constantly brings it up grates a bit.

EDIT: Wording for clarification

You don't like the concept of individuals being judged by their individual attributes rather than by arbitrarily assigned gender roles?
No, I don't like men being put down and judged just for being men.

This is a completely accurate portrayal of feminism.

I'm going to assume sarcasm there.
But I'm not strawmanning as much as you seem to be implying I am. If you Google the word feminist/feminism right now, I'll reckon that the results will mostly either be man-hating hyper-aggressive types, or people complaining about them.

DO you know where I can find some crazy people who actually hold those positions? I get a sick kick from reading ridiculuous extremists. Preferably a forum.

Anything that has blogs where the owner has management over it. So Tumblr. Tumblr has the craziest feminists.

Yeah, that definitely has nothing to do with how feminism has been misenfranchised in a very similar way to how "socialism" has been in the US. It's been turned into a bogeyman rather than the egalitarian philosophy it actually is.

Sure, it's an egalitarian philosophy in the same way as whitepowerism is for racial equality.

...? Academic feminism and the majority of the movement in general has been about gender equality since... pretty much the get-go, and especially second-wave, iirc. What scriver's mentioned is pretty much exactly what's been going on.

The name is somewhat deceptive, really. The primary reason the role of women originally got a heavier emphasis (and thus th'name itself, to a degree.) was, as I understand it, due simply because that's where the majority of the disparity was at the time. As the movement matured it expanded into the realm of male gender roles (gender in general, really.) as well, and has long had a stated goal by th'majority of its adherents, especially the larger names in the movement, of trying to obtain either gender equality or the abolishment of gender roles in general as a thing.

If for some strange reason "whitepowerism" was originally started by disenfranchised Caucasians seeking equality and had since expanded into a movement that sought the abolishment of racial bias in general, then there'd be some sort of parallel there. Not much of one, because feminism has never been about female supremacy outside of fringe/radical parts of the movement and such isn't implied by the name, but more than currently exists.

Perhaps you forgot your Sarcasm Font, Hiiri?

Please, will someone direct me to a crazy ultra-left feminist blog/forum so I can leave and avoid this war?
