Have you ever met a feminist in real life?

[Anonymous]

I have met feminists in school. Two in high school, one overweight, one skinny and one in college.

Yes

No

I think so

[HighlyVolatile]

I had a feminist sociology professor. She was so awful, teaching us things that blatantly contradicted what I was learning in other courses like biology, psychology, economics, and even history. It was at a time before terms like "patriarchy" became so popular in academia but she was still basically teaching us about "patriarchy" and the social constructionist ideology of gender and white privilege and male privilege so forth. She also claimed that 1 in 4 female students on campus have been raped.

[HighlyVolatile]

About 80% of the course was just sheer propaganda taught as fact.

[HighlyVolatile]

I knew she was a feminist because she said it on the first day upon introducing herself. This was in the late 90s and I thought that was interesting back then and not a sign of an ideologue teaching nonsense.

[HighlyVolatile]

Aside from her, professors like her managed to radicalize a small percentage of the female students and even a few male students who became feminists. So they'd be holding up signs protesting against things like the patriarchy or white privilege or gender pay gaps or whatnot on campus. I met a bunch during my university years. They were all so misguided and brainwashed.

Yes, many. At uni I took a gender studies class and I was one of only two guys in the class. The things I observed and heard from the professor and the female students were unreal. I went into the class with an open mind and came out of it with a VERY negative view of feminism and feminists.

Anyone who actually believes feminism is about equality is a fool.

[MCheetah]

Yes. They were just as annoying in real life as on the internet.

I don't think so.
If I did, they never made it known that they are feminists.
In these parts conservatism is still very mainstream.

I’ve met more opportunist women that actually feminist in my opinion it’s a womens nature to do anything to secure comfort that’s why they agree with almost anything if it’s to their benefit which is why feminism is so big most girls don’t want equality they want leverage

[sirderpsalot123]

Yes and they were all obnoxious and unlikable in every possible way.

Most people believe in the ideals of the original feminist movement but most girls won't openly identify as feminisms now. I have met some who did but didn't like most of them.

[caitycat21]

“The ideals of the original feminist movement” oh.. like racism and yt supremacy?

[Opinion Owner]

@caitycat21 What?

[caitycat21]

The original feminist movement was racist and excluded women of color

[Opinion Owner]

@caitycat21 Is that seriously all you think about when you think of the original feminist movement? All of us women should be thankful for the work early feminists did for women. Maybe they weren't perfect but we are in a better place today because of them. The people we owe nothing to is today's bitter feminists like you. It seems like everything I read from you is negative and man-hating and you're always in a victim mindset. It must be hard to find any peace of mind like that.

[Iron_Man]

Yes at the greyhound racing track when I owned racing dogs and she was brutal some older lady she had a F you ring to the male population

[genericname85]

i find it rare to meet women that don't consider themself to be feminists xD with men it's more frequent but also lots of men that claim to be feminist. i'm not.

[iJokeTeeth]

No, but I want to. I want to meet a proper third wave, man hating, deadly serious feminist and just talk to them. Something about crazy people gives me the giggles.

[Jx8srbr]

Go to nyc

[Ghen30]

As a non-feminist, I can't stand them.

[caitycat21]

Why. -as a feminist it confuses me?

[libsaretards]

I've met 5 and those were the 5 worst interactions of my entire life.

[Snsl153]

Yes, I have. Unfortunately.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

I don't think so if you mean the modern pink hair bashing men types then definitely no.

[BCRanger10]

Yes, a few, both male and female.

[Jx8srbr]

They are the professors. I hated college and they are a big reason why

[Yucy_Gluttony]

What is your definition of a real one?

[Dinosaursandanime65]

Do you know who else is a wave 5 feminist?

[Anonymous]

Unfortunately, yes. Best to avoid them, though.

[OddBeMe]

I’ve met myself.
