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.

Much like Misko's questioning, do you have any examples? I've been trying to think of somebody outside the troll Femitheist Divine but I can't recall anybody who has seriously tried using Feminism to advocate for giving women more advantages than men.

EDIT: I guess there's the older satirical work of the SCUM Manifesto.

I still suspect Femitheist is genuine, just mentally ill.

Nah, nothing I can remember. I barely remember any particulars about the movement and would probably have to start digging out notes (which are currently ~300 miles from me) to even recall specific names.

One of my professors while I was getting the BA had worked under one of the... sorta' more recent ones (not a major name, per se, but not an unknown one.), who did some writing on the female orgasm fairly recently (as academia goes), so m'professor was fairly familiar with the movement at large and did some talking about it here and there as th'course in question progressed (Philosophy of science, iirc. Subject came up in relation to methodology, really, as previous -- male dominated -- research into th'female orgasm had... problems. Problems you could -- and she did -- drive trucks through.).

S'came up in other places, too, but... yeah. Not really my field, m'afraid. Know a fair, if cursory, bit about the basics of the movement's history, but not well enough to spout it off without some refresher research.

Well, let's put it this way MZ. Your research was probably more methodologically sound than most academic research into the subject before quite recently, in a relative sense. Lot of the oft-cited or predominate theories were... they had issues. Just terrible science, all around. Genuine and well founded statistics on th'subject are a lot more in line with reality nowadays.

Huh. Maybe I should get a grant and do some real research. That seems right up my alley, seriously.

Hmm. Maybe I could probe your brainmeats in comparison to a lady's brainmeats to see if they do different things during orgasm. I have noticed a distinct difference in quality between the two genders.

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.

*Hsssss*

WTF did I just read?

...In all fairness, she might be the only one of those, but that doesn't change the fact that I have a huge authorcrush on her.

I like her comics, I just wish I wasn't too unstudied to get half of her probably excellent historical jokes.

Understood slightly differently, this is arguably true - many feminists also do not like men being put down and judged just for being men, because they see such judgment as being a symptom of exactly the same problems that make feminism necessary in the first place, and believe that it violates the actual insight the philosophy provides. In other words, a feminist could quite reasonably say, because they are* a feminist, "No, I don't like men being put down and judged just for being men".

*This is totally a legit gender-neutral singular pronoun.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Unless you were a hardcore feminist and held a grudge.

In which case a re-ordering of society would probably be right up there in the 'vengeance' list.
