No my statement Glowcat is you are attacking someone's credentials to be Feminist due to some preconceived notion on what feminists must believe in. Some sort of creed of feminism.
I mean could you imagine if I said that Anita Sarceesian isn't a Feminist?
if you had bothered to click on my wikipedia link you'd have seen that the AMERICAN ENTERPRISE INSTITUTE is literally a right-wing think tank, even if the name didn't give it away
Did you... Link the two? Am I supposed to be able to immediately pick out her name? I didn't even know her name and you just randomly posted a link to my eyes. In fact I asked you for clarification.
Also so far it isn't anywhere as "EVIL" as you make it seem.
it and Sommers are literally anti-feminist
EDITED: APPERANTLY Anti-Feminism MEANS anti-women and not "Against Feminism" like I thought...
A lot of feminists dedicate a lot of their time against, what they see in their eyes, improper uses of feminism. It doesn't make them anti-feminist.
Further more irony in your display is how you've previously argued how men are themselves held to some ridiculous macho standard (correct me if I'm misremembering your position) and yet a part of Sommer's position is that pushing such standards is a good thing.
And she thus has opinions and arguments that I don't agree with and do not see eye to eye on.
Hmm... I wonder what person is very similar to that? Anita Sarceesian.
In fact I don't even agree with everything in the video the person posted, I still believe that videogames can be sexist, I just liked the juxtaposition by a feminist to add actual depth and thought to this discussion.
She pretends that 'gender feminists' are out to destroy traditional gender roles and that those are what are most vulnerable in this world because she is a dishonest spokesperson for conservative ideologies who need a woman to give their message and hope that it convinces people who are unaware that women can spread misogyny too.
You see, I am not deep in the feminist culture to the point where I know every credible Feminist and which Feminists are secretly anti-feminists. I only saw ONE video that for all intents and purposes was decently done.
What I disagree with is this idea that because her ideas on feminism differs from yours that you are allowed to make the judgment that she suddenly doesn't count as feminist. Add that your idea that she is some sort of propagandist is because she is part of an organization you dislike doesn't help me.
Besides, the idea that women can be misogynist isn't anything new. It is a pretty well established fact within feminist writing. The reasons for this changes depending on what philosophy.
When you link to her and other conservative radicals or their creations, such as Breitbart or Adam Baldwin's #GamerGate, you are clearly establishing bedfellowship with some of the worst bigots out there. Don't be surprised when it's pointed out that your ideology and arguments are probably themselves bigoted.
If someone is right, they are right. Even if they are Satan incarnate it counts.
If someone says that my statements are bigoted because I don't read their pre-approved list of feminists and philosophers and actually look at what others, people without as much of a reputable reputation, say... Then honestly good riddance.
Sure I'll get eyes if I, for example, quoted Jack Thompson... Well actually Quoting Jack Thompson in a thread talking about videogames would actually be kind of interesting... It would be interesting to look at since his viewpoint differs from pretty much anyone who plays videogames.
The point of good debate is to take everyone, seriously. Which to admit taunting you Glowcat wasn't very classy of me and I apologize.
I was left incredulous because honestly one of the BIG NO! Would be to say a Feminist isn't really a Feminist.
But fine... I'll read the post and see how bad it is. MAYBE she is so terrible even I will be outraged.
