did you ever think maybe feminists aren't actually angry?

it might just be the things you say to them that make them angry. weird concept, huh?

lol it's really cute how people say offensive things about women, and then they're like "well, why are all these feminists yelling at me?"

i'm a very happy person, but, yes, having my status as a human being debated and denied, tends to make me fly off the handle.

i think it would be great if all of us (myself included) could be a little bit more civil towards one another?

Update:

@rowdy m- i don't think that's true at all.

Update 2:

@Sub Stance- i don't lie. hardly ever. when i do it's to call out of work or something. i don't have issues. like i said it's not other opinions that make me angry, it's the questioning and denial of my status a whole, complete human being. and everyone gets angry. it's normal.

Update 3:

@"Andrea Dworkin"- no one has to discuss anything with me. but like i've already said twice in this post, this isn't a political opinion like taxes or healthcare or something. the people who have sexist things to say about women and mean things to say about feminists are talking about who i am as a person. that's why it tends to bother me so much. but i'm not taking the stuff that is said on here seriously anymore, because most people are intentionally trying to get a rise out of people. i had to cool down to realize that.

Update 4:

@doodlebugjim- that is unacceptable.

Update 5:

@Ximena-that's a good point! you're pretty cool.

you're really wise.

    Humph! you should be a guy or a liberal. Liberal women are people who smash issues for women. I rejoice with my good to vote and workout it each and each time i will. I additionally rejoice with the old type courtesies of opened doors, men getting out of my way, whilst i'm strolling down a sidewalk. And the downfall of this united states would be because of the fact stupid human beings (woman and male) proceed to place human beings like Obama, Pelosi, Waters, Reid in place of work!

    Sorry, the anger I have heard seems to indicate, that yes, all too many of this `third wave' are indeed dissatisfied, egoistic harpies. They have marched to one drummer, a very greedy one for decades. There is just no pleasing them, not that I would care to try.

    Saying I don't like something about A woman does not mean this applies to ALL women. Chill out chicquitas!

    So much gobbledegook of feminist `thinking' has been tossed around for far too long and has not been subjected to anything approaching critical analysis.

    No dissent in the ranks is allowed, it is completely enveloped in group-think.

    btw its "sivil" not "civil" as in servant. I don't understand the `human being' part

    hah! there's someone on here with the SN of Andrea Dworkin...read one of her books, forget the name, she was 24 at time, full of rants, hate and hypocrisy, barring a few commonly accepted facts

    *** SCUM manifesto...some twisted piece of work!

    Nope because they are angry and so are you.. and this is a perfect example, you let what I said earlier tonight about you being angry bother you so much that you made this question, showing even more anger. Megz, calm down, I'm sure we can talk this over like 2 normal people... Just let me know. I can help you with your anger problem as long as you don't yell at me!

    Source(s): Yup.

    The Feminists are nothing more than a mentally ill hate movement. They do the foul-mouthed hate-speech for the same reason their predecessor, the Ku Klux Klan, did. The relationship between the Ku Klux Klan and the early Feminists was exposed by the book "Women of the Klan".

    The idea that someone should be "nice" to the Feminists is like insisting the black people should be "nice" to the Ku Klux Klan. That somehow that Jews and the Catholics and Jehovah's witnesses and the Mormons have earnt that hatred? I do not think so.

    The Feminists have proven again and again and again that they wish to exterminate all men:

    (quote)... there remains to civic-minded, responsible, thrill-seeking females only to overthrow the government, eliminate the money system, institute complete automation and destroy the male sex. (unquote)

    From Valerie Solanas

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valerie_Solanas

    Now, if the above phrase had the words "females" substituted form the word "men" and the word "male" substituted for the word "women", can you imagine the OUTCRY?

    Yet when the hate-speech is directed against men, oh, that's fine, no problem, misandry rules, right?

    Come off it.

    Mentally ill hate-speech is mentally ill hate-speech, no matter who is saying it. We (correctly) dismiss the Ku Klux Klan because of their mentally ill hate-speech, but we are to accept the very self same thing from the Feminists because they are hating men instead of hating black people?

    Oh?

    And why is that?

    Anger is an emotion of passion, but not the only one.

    This is possible, but many have a very short fuse. For many, if you question their beliefs, if even in a logical and respectful way, you will get called a misogynist, be made fun of, and insulted. That is how they silence dissenters.

    If you cannot keep your cool during an argument, then why should people bother to discuss issue with you?

    i agree with you. i call myself a feminist, but im not angty. its when people try to tell me what my personal ideology is that makes me angry.

    i am a feminist who believes in the rights of women so they can be equal to men. im not a man hating lesbian with a desire for matriarchy.

    i know what my beliefs are. ignorant judgemental fools who dont even KNOW what feminism is and then try to tell me what it is makes me very angry!
