Please, elaborate again on how women are treated as equals in society, tho.

they pretty much are.

That's as much as you have ever elaborated, except to lower it to "pretty much."

I let you know when I start feeling that rush of equality, though, I'm sure it's in the mail.

Ok, after checking again, the last tweet are using both hashtag sarcastically, which got me confused. Yeah, you're right it was yesallmen. Same thing though.

Caz, would you mind stopping trolling. I mean, giving how you develop your arguments, this is what I'm guessing you're doing right now.

#yesallmen came about because of #yesallwomen.

As I have said repeatedly, the more time feminists have to spend comforting men's hurt ego and affirming for them that they are totally good guys and they never do anything misogynistic, just those other dudes, the less time we have to talk about the real issues. It's a way of silencing dissent.

Our society revolves around making men feel good, I don't have time to do more of that, nor would I want to.

I dug up an old twitter account

yeah... as opposed to the counter-argument which is basically "this doesn't exist!"

That has been your argument, not mine. Seriously though, the topic is heated enough without you trying to stir the pot.

Also, I'm not going to get warned,, not this time.

don't argue with me about sexist hashtags, I've seen enough of them to know what I am talking about.

Great. Now please make a twitter account and go there.
Your "everyone who disagrees with me is an ignorant pig" attitude is sincerely pissing me off.

I'm starting to feel like this thread could use a temporary lockdown to cool everyone.

the argument started from a statement from you that misandry is a myth.

funny I never said that, and someone already linked the feed to prove that it's a sexist hashtag.

I simply expect you to be even slightly educated on the topic, instead of spreading misinformation. Because that is bad.

Ok now I found sources saying that yesallmen were the MRA one, and notallmen the mysandrist one.

For instance and the recent tweet about yesallmen seems to be mostly out of topic.


Tweet about notallmen are mostly sarcastic and mocking the idea.

#notallmen is a sexist one also, sometimes feminists use it ironically.

You'll notice the jokes they make about it, it's more used by them now to mock the MRA movement.

notallmen, yesallmen, and yesallwomen are all mra hashtags afaik.

[Phmcw]

It's a very dangerous thing to mock. And "not all xxx are like that" is a favorite of racists.

I don't see any good reason to deny the need to avoid generalisation.

Yeah, I can easily see this quickly escalating to boiler levels quite easily.

[Neonivek]

It pretty much is a sexist cluster crud all around from every angle.

Hence why I don't even go near it.

As for women tending to be the victims in videogames.

Pretty much making someone close to the protagonist the victim is the "easiest" method to invest the player in the plot.

The "opposite gender" pairing seems to also be firmly ingrained as well in that... well...

If the protagonist is male and they have one living parent it will likely be his mother. If the protagonist is female and they have one living parent, it will likely be her father.

If the protagonist is female and they have one sibling they are likely a brother. If they are Male it is likely a sister.

Bonus points for Card Captor Sakura where both her living parent and sibling are both male.

Now if the main character is female and she has no parents and a sibling who takes care of them... They are likely a sister. If male then a brother.
