    Anyone want to do a private group debate? I'll set it up.

    "Giving it up" nice one. Yeah all women are basically prostitutes right? We "give it up" because a man paid for our food not because we like him or anything. And if a woman feels obligated to have sex with a man because he bought her dinner, surely this is more of a problem?

    How can someone be a male and be a feminist at the same time?

    Angela Carter sometimes explores how women can collaborate with the oppressor. Long story short Madame Schreck is an exploiter, a pimp.

    How can someone be a male and be a feminist at the same time?

    Yes a man can be a radical feminist and yes there are men who are radical feminists. If you type in radical feminism in google you can find general descriptions of what radical feminism is.

    How can someone be a male and be a feminist at the same time?

    I do not believe in banning pornography. But I believe a rape victim should be able to sue the producers if their porn was used in grooming or played a part in raping the victim. I believe the people who acted in the porn should be able to sue the producers of the porn if they suffered from...

    How can someone be a male and be a feminist at the same time?

    I talking about not taking no for an answer. I'm talking about following me around for 20mins harassing me for my number. I'm talking about following me into the same carriage just to stare me down. I'm talking about slyly trying to rub your fingers on the side of my leg then straight up putting...

    How can someone be a male and be a feminist at the same time?

    I believe there are "Madame Schreck" type women out there (you probably won't get that unless you read Angela Carter.) I also believe all women are victims of male dominance under patriarchy in some form or the other. Did you read Sunstones thread on pornography? I mentioned an interview I...

    I'm a radical feminist, well yes have you seen my signature ;) Go on tumblr mate you will find many more radscum blogs on there. I have weaknesses too I wear a bit of makeup about 3 times a year. I could be even more radical and never wear any ;) Joking aside though, I think the most...

    How can someone be a male and be a feminist at the same time?

    The problem I personally have with calling myself a humanist is that it doesn't adress any specific philosophy's or principles. If I say "I'm a humanist" what would the response be? "Thats lovely dear, so am I, I'm all about human rights and equality blah blah." If I say I'm what is called a...

    Men and women and the Orgasm Gap

    I just read the article and it confirmed for me what I mentioned in another thread about hookups and why I don't think I could do them, and one of the reasons was that I don't know if they would care about my pleasure and now I know for sure that most likely they wouldn't.

    Men and women and the Orgasm Gap

    Good post. I agree, I think it's devastating for female sexuality when we are taught about "virginity" and penis in vagina being the main part of sex. This would make lesbian sex not really sex just foreplay. It causes some of us not to see our orgasms as equally important because most of us...

    How can someone be a male and be a feminist at the same time?

    I often write bold within people's posts, because I'm on my phone and its a mission to quote and unquote stuff, so I don't bother. I quote all of it and comment in between the quote. I meant I don't care if people think I'm weak because I'm not giving examples of patriarchy in the UK. We have...

    How can someone be a male and be a feminist at the same time?

    I never said egalitarians support male privilege, I meant that an egalitarian may not even believe that such privilege exists, and therefore aren't feminists. Feminists believe patriarchy and male privilege exists which is why someone would rather call themselves a feminist over egalitarian.

    How can someone be a male and be a feminist at the same time?

    No I won't give you examples. Please research feminist theory yourself. I was pointing out why someone would call themselves a feminist over egalitarian.

    How can someone be a male and be a feminist at the same time?

    I will also like to add to this that I call myself a feminist because I believe in patriarchy theory and male privilege as well as white privilege and heterosexual privilege. Someone can be egalitarian and not believe in patriarchy theory or privilege, they can just believe "***** happens" and...

    How can someone be a male and be a feminist at the same time?

    Feminism isn't about biological determinism and infact it's against it. It is about resisting patriarchy. Obviously women's experiences are at the forefront of feminism because of male privilege. This doesn't mean that a man can't be feminist, it just means he has to learn how male privilege...

    How can someone be a male and be a feminist at the same time?

    I really don't understand what this has turned into... Can someone with male genitalia be a feminist? Yes, move on people. Even if feminism is all about women and women's issues, can't a man be all about women? I think they can.
