Rape sympathies[edit]
I'm not doubting that TAA may have made those statements, but the citation has his comments deleted. Is there a screenshot we can find? Because his anti-feminist rants alone are not enough to call him misogynistic, but his sickening statements about rape (regardless of whether he intended them as a joke) are.

Anita Sarkeesian[edit]

No because he made a statement of her on his video Everyone's A Cry Baby, he points out the feminist hypocracy in the video Its only sexist when men do It and has clearly stated in more then one video that is is not a Men's Right's Activist anymore then he is a feminist because unlike those two movements he believes in gender equality and says he is a huminist. --Aravis Laserleen (talk) 05:30, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
In other words he is an equalist and the feminist and men's rights activist for that matter aren't because they only have love for their own gender. --Aravis Laserleen (talk) 05:47, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
I'm curious - as no laws have been written limiting men's rights, based on these horrible feminists, why do you care if they are bitches or brats? Why don't you just ignore them? It's not like you are losing your right to make more money, or your right to deny pregnant women the right to paid vacation, or your right to control their reproduction. I do understand it's still illegal to beat women, but just think, you've managed to redefine rape in some states, so that women have no longer been raped, they have just "made an accusation" of being raped. But I digress. Stupid women and their stupid feminist desires to be equal.GodotWhen I graduated, Cognative Science of Religion didn't even exist! now it's everywhere 13:06, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
- Additionally, the pseudo-egalitarian patriarchal crap that TJ spews is just as bad for men as it is for women. All it does is reinforce the bullshit notion that men are raging sex-demons who are so uncontrollable as to need constant penile stimulation. Problematic biotrufs aside, this makes the MRA movement anti-men as well as anti-women. — Unsigned, by: ORavenhurst / talkDo You Believe That? 13:45, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
- There are some very real issues that men have a right to say "hey, what's up" about, but they are themselves so rooted in how women are treated, that you won't change the situation till women's rights change. For example, courts giving women custody more often, and not really considering men capable of being primary care givers. But that is grounded in the idea that women are and must be care givers. The idea that women's role is first and foremost the mother - wife and worker comes second. When a child is sick, society expects that the women is responsible both for the illness and the care. You rarely hear "what a bad single father for not knowing how to keep his child for doing X or Y". You OFTEN hear that of women. If, during a divorce, a man wants to abdicate the actual day to day care of his child, and just pay for them - that would be considered somewhat normal. If a woman wanted teh same, that would be a horror show of "what kind of woman is she". When women are looked at on equal footing with men, that women can be selfish at some times, and selfless at some times; when women are "allowed" to put their career first, without society chiding them; when single women are treated with teh same "my god, you're a single father, that must be so hard" that men are - then men will get custody more often. Most of the other issues MR bring up, are just petty whinging that they as individuals have had a bad / raw deal.GodotWhen I graduated, Cognative Science of Religion didn't even exist! now it's everywhere 15:17, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
Feminist are not perfect like you make them out to be. 95% of feminist hate men with a pashion because they falsly accuse men of raping them believe all men are rapist, castrate any male they wise, solely encourage misandry in feminiist education, neclect when ever boys are being raped and support only girls. Even if a man is holding a door open for a women he is automatically the oppreessor from birth, they encourage girls to get pregnet to to have abortion, they don't care if men and boys are sextualised in the same light as girls and women and praise any violance aginst men and critisise violance against women. Men are not supposed to have fellings and if they do then their fellings don't matter. Feminism has failed to achieve equallity like communism has because 70% of feminist are anaxed or satilite movements of the Gender Feminist and 25% are conqured or allies to the Separatist Feminist just like a majority of the soviet states were controlled by either Russia and China. If they truly believed in equality and didn't hate men 24/7 they wouldn't be calling themselves feminist but equalist. Your statements about men are false because they are ten times more likely to be homeless then women and male suicides are four times heigher then female suicides. But yes I know "all male are automatically Chauvinist pigs and violant potintial rapist from birth" no matter how far away we are from mindless animals we are or how much we are opposing misogony. Look I'm not saying that a women's place is at home and has to be the carrer I'm just saying you believe we are all in favour of oppressing women. --120.151.106.44 (talk) 07:52, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

I apologise for my hostilties against the movement and my over reaction against it. It is just that we have learnt to respect women more and gradually believing that they should be equall, oppose to anything we find chauvinistic and in return we get called Neanderthals, get punished just for being born male and believe sexism is on the rise instead of declining. But the only thing has has got more sexist is Political Corectness just like they have been the only ones to become more racist. It is just as overated as the first half of the Third Reich of Germany. --120.151.106.44 (talk) 02:21, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
Let's start from the beginning. That's nice that one particular feminist has made misandrist statements, and TAA has contested her on that, but it is not notable in this article. TAA, while not overtly sexist, has echoed the rhetoric of misogynistic organizations that pose to be "men's rights" groups. While some of the issues he raises are legitimate, he has been observed verbally abusing rape victims. Mr. Anon (talk) 04:36, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
But is he abusing rape victums on purpuse, he pretends to, is being sarcastic or mearly jocking? He beliefs in the statements he says but he grossly exagerates and is not always met to be taken seriously. No I don't find him funny when he is being contraversial and even get disgusted at his mean spirited humer but I don't take him serously. I tried to add Anita Sarkeesian to the feminist section in a attempt of stating feminism isn't all that it is cracked up to be but it was deleated and the arguement of feminism is just black and white. Its either all males are automatically responsible for the oppression of women from birth or not. No its not just her its every feminist off all forms of it I have read,seen or heard of that hates men simply for being male --120.151.106.44 (talk) 08:28, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
- TJ's opinions on feminism are already covered in this article; I don't see how mentioning this Sarkeesian person adds anything to it, especially as you didn't include any link so the reader could check out what you were talking about. AS for your views on feminism, why not talk to feminists and ask them what they believe, instead of just telling them what you think they believe. You might find it's not as black & white as you're making out it is. WéáśéĺóíďMethinks it is a Weasel 09:28, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
I have already gave the instruction to TJ's video of her its on Youtube and its called "Everyone's A Cry Baby" and as for feminism being diffrent groups they all believe in the Patriarchy as TJ has stated, therefore they all believe all males are automatically the oppressor from birth. Its been that way since the first wave began and they have never dropped that belief. --120.151.106.44 (talk) 03:27, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

- Your only citation is TAA himself. That is by definition circular reasoning. Most feminists here have advocated for equality in all areas, even areas where men are disadvantaged. "The Patriarchy" refers to the cultural inequality of gender roles. Mr. Anon (talk) 03:36, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
Whether women are being oppressed or abused by men or not they believe all men are oppressors and are in favour of violance against women. They don't need to be wronged to hate men they just need to be told that they will be wronged because that is what feminist education is for since humans are blind sheep. --120.151.106.44 (talk) 03:46, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

It was I who added the statement of Samus Aran on wikipedia of her character decline but it keept on getting deleated even though I provide the sources. I just fell all of Feminist Frequincy's videos are adressed to males only because it seems she paints us all with the same brush. The Third Wave is just as brutal if not then even more brutal then the second I mean look at the VAWA it makes us all the oppressor and are violant towards woman and that was formed in the third wave so we have every right to fear the movement.

She has criticised X-Men for being sexist and not Avengers, she has critised female game characters even if they are doing what she wants them to do and when ever she sees violance aginst women she she makes hypocritical statements because she says that women have to be afraid of men enough and guess what more then half of the fear of men is encouraged by the feminist movement. Critisising the media and critising men are one and the same wethear we agree that genders should be equal or not. No its not just women who find twilight sexist look at The Amazing Athist and the Nostalgic Critic's review of the series they hate it for the same reason feminist do even though they are Anti-feminist and I've also seen male critism of Metroid Other M for the reduction of the lead role. --120.151.106.44 (talk) 08:57, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

Because regardless if we agree with the feminist or not they claim that all media is targeted at males as long as the writers are males wether they are chauvinist oppressors or not.

Since Butthead didn't bother to link to the video he keeps going on about, here it is. Between the yelling, groaning & silly voices, Mr Amazing's argument seems to be that big problems exist in the world & therefore it's stupid to focus on lesser problems, like casual sexism & racism in society & the media - i.e. the old "not as bad as" gambit. Aside from being a stupid argument in its own right (& one that feminists encounter disturbingly often; cf Richard Dawkins on the Rebecca Watson "elevatorgate" gate thing), surely the same logic could be applied to many of the things TJ has chosen to vent about. That & some strawman shit about pretending that Sarkeesian believes sexist commercials, video games, etc. are the source of sexism rather than examples of it. WėąṣėḷőįďMethinks it is a Weasel 16:35, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
- I admit to using that fallacy often. I see some ugly stuff, working on reservations, that make it really hard to take people in things like "occupy wall street" seriously. I see republicans worrying about whether or not my child is born out of wed lock (or born at all) but not worrying about the 100,000s of kids who are born, and have no love of ANY parent, much less two of opposite sex. When is it ok to say "let's solve the bigges, or at least put our energy towards that, before we worry about the little stuff?" And oddly, i'm more closely aligned with Dawkins than Watson on "elevatorgate", though I wish we lived in a different world where academics at conferences and women in elevators in general, didn't feel like they were 24/7 meat market. See, BON, not all feminists agree. --GodotWhen I graduated, Cognative Science of Religion didn't even exist! now it's everywhere 16:43, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
- Sure, the big organisations like governments and charities should be focusing on the bigger problems ahead of the smaller ones, but it' still important for people to stand up and point out the littler problems in our societies rather than just let them pass as not worth worrying about. To consider why we live in a world where academics at conferences and women in elevators feel like they're part of 24/7 meat market, it's important to consider things that reinforce that view of women, like the kind of casual sexism in movies, TV, advertising etc. that Feminist Frequency seems to be focusing on (from the short bits of her videos I watched). Of course sexism wouldn't disappear with these things, but changing portrayals of women would gradually help to change attitudes. ЩєазєюіδMethinks it is a Weasel 17:02, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

She is not suggesting alternatives she is only fueling hatred of men that we are all the oppressors even if we work with feminist.

(If you wish to see a great rant, someday I'll write about Huff Po, a news media 'controled' by a woman, but who's section on "women" reinforces every single sterotype that all we want to talk about is sex and beauty). Men by and large write comics for men. Women who write comics may have a slightly different style, but they are under serious pressure to insure their female charcaters are attractive and buxom. They are pushed to include "love plots" to bring in female audience, as if that's what we really want. Men in the media, in politics, in society in general spend a huge time telling women what we want. they literally create the market, then cater to it. And, I would argue, it's probably not just women - though that's an area I'm familar with. They image - and therefore needs and wants - of teh gay community are largely creations of society. The needs and choices of blacks, teens, and yes, "men" are largely created. This women calls them on it. She does not hate men, she hates what men who are in power have done. That is hardly a subtle distinction. And it is really not her job to suggest alternatives, any more than it's roger Ebert's job to suggest how to make better films. It's his job to analyze the films made. Women want to see ourselves in the world. We want to turn on tv and see "us". But a real us, not the invented, created, characterized "us" of the media. Gay's want this. Blacks want this. Athesists want this. It's not hard to see what the "alternatives" are, but as long as white upper middle and upper class christian men are controling our media, our society at large it's hard to find real images and not creations.GodotWhen I graduated, Cognative Science of Religion didn't even exist! now it's everywhere 17:37, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

Society tells women we should read romance novels, and care about our families and wanting to get married and not care about science, about politics or about world affairs. Talk to female judges, and see what they go through. Talk with women scientists who are often asked "why would a woman want to do this". It's endemic in our society.

The needs and choices of blacks, teens, and yes, "men" are largely created. This women calls them on it. She does not hate men, she hates what men who are in power have done. That is hardly a subtle distinction. And it is really not her job to suggest alternatives, any more than it's roger Ebert's job to suggest how to make better films. It's his job to analyze the films made. Women want to see ourselves in the world. We want to turn on tv and see "us". But a real us, not the invented, created, characterized "us" of the media. Gay's want this. Blacks want this. Athesists want this. It's not hard to see what the "alternatives" are, but as long as white upper middle and upper class christian men are controling our media, our society at large it's hard to find real images and not creations.GodotWhen I graduated, Cognative Science of Religion didn't even exist! now it's everywhere 17:37, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
70% of feminist are Gender Feminist and 25% of feminist are Separatist Feminist that means 5% hate men causuly while 95% hate men with a pashion. Kind of like how most of the communist states were controlled by either Russia and China. --120.151.106.44 (talk) 05:05, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
90% of women would identify themselves as feminist wethear they are being oppressed or not and if one ask them if they hate men they are guarteed to say yes or make misandric statements that we are all potintial rapist and are automatically responsible for the oppression of women from birth. Every site I go on about feminism both for it and against it is about them blaming us for being born male. I'm not saying that genders should not be equalor that men should be dominate I'm just saying that they hate us no matter what. --120.151.106.44 (talk) 05:14, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

Encyclopidadramatica is terrible it only focuses on male fantasys and not criticising the subjects themselves in a argumentative manner.

Fuck, jeez, bugg, fine, enjoy pissing on my work. Seriously. I give your knee-jerk reactions a free pass and I abdicate. I spent far too many time I could have wasted on RuneScape or writing my novel debating here, with zero productiveness. I watch TJ's videos (probably the only one that ever touched this article), I like his ideas, I mostly agree with them, and if you say I can't like him because he is a dick you can fuck off. You guys seriously need to learn a thing or two about teh intranetz - and people, really. People do stupid stuff, especially on the internet. If they have some incidents, that's normal, because everybody does it, and it doesn't completely discredit all the other stuff they did. Also, about name-calling: he's a jerk. That doesn't mean he is (or you are justified to call him) a homophobe, an antisemite, a homophobe, a neonazi, a racist and every other name of the book. Being anti-victim or a dick to people you are debating with doesn't make you a misogynist, it makes you ... Well, anti-victim and a dick, respectively. He wouldn't act any different towards male victims, just as he doesn't act any different towards males he is involved in heated debate with.
No unique ideas? I think anti-feminism and some other ideas make him quite unique in today's atheist community.

- TJ's position on rape? Like any other violation of personal rights,he loathes it.What he said is(from this article),being victim of rape is something you should be able to get over."Surviving rape" is pretty common and not extraordinary("Rape isn't fatal"). Of course,he might lack some empathy towards rape victims that can't get over their experience, and that might make him a jerk,but not a misogynist. Also,he doesn't represent the atheist community in the same way that no atheist represent it,because being an atheist shouldn't say much on your other political and social views outside religious debates.So if you get embarrassed when an atheist says or do something you don't agree with or dislike, you must live a life full of unnecessary guilt and shame.

- You can't selectively choose to agree with people. People's views stem from their ideology, so their views are always connected.

Word Document reconises my spelling and grammer as correct. What is there like two or three words wrong and you play the grammer card on me? I believe feminism is like the diffrent denominations of Christianity. They change their practices when they disagree but they all believe the same thing (which Jesus was the son of God) and there fore they are considered the same thing and in the case of feminism they all believe all males are the oppressor even if we agree with them and turn a blind eye to violance against women. I just fell when they say their movement is recent they are making all of us the enemy and all it has achieved is promoting Double Standerds and increased the fear and hatred of both genders.

- Yes, I am going to call you out on your spelling and grammar. Why? Because you claim to be in your 20s, yet you make mistakes that make you look very young. If you are lying about your age, it is very likely you haven't been to college or exposed to college-level sources and classes (if you so happen to just dislike academia, I suppose) that would actually tell you what feminism is, the history of feminism, and their actual ideology. As somebody who's taken many different Women's Studies courses, with friends in the field, activity in the community... what you describe as 'feminism' is not even remotely related to feminism. Yes, there are many different philosophies that fall under the feminism label, but you don't even get any of them right. Not a single one. You actually don't know what you're talking about, but you think you know what you're talking about. I don't know who told you your definition of feminism, but it's not correct... and if you demonstrated you are the correct age, with the correct level of reasoning for that age and at least cursory knowledge of the topic on which to base your opinions, I could take you seriously. But you haven't done any of those things. You rattle on like either a small child, or a 20 year old that never went to even high school, or a person homeschooled by those who didn't teach any kind of writing or even basic debate skills at all. None of which suggest your opinion is actually valid, especially when talking about a complex, multi-generational movement and divergent ideological field like feminism. So yes, I will criticize you. In order for people to respect your opinion, it doesn't have to be right. It's OK to be wrong; we all learn things every day, especially me. But you DO have to demonstrate that you at least know what you're talking about. This is like, for you, trying to participate in a politics debate but not even knowing what country the debate is about or the rules of said debate. And you're mad people are booing you offstage? ±KnightOfTL;DRgarrulous en guerre 11:47, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

I have been banned for reasearching anything about feminism at home because of Firewall being instulled at home so I'm useing a internet cafe at my nearist shoping centre. When ever I'm unsure to spell a word I go on word document and get it spellt currectlly. Have you been on pinegrove33, proudguy, manwomanmith and theignoredgender videos on Youtube they reveal the true colars of the movement. The only rason why some feminist classes have males in them is to tell them that they are the oppressor and they enforve violance against woman girls are praised if they abuse the boys and boys are punished if they abuse the girls. I know this from comments I have read both inside and outside of youtube. Feminist don't believe in equality anymore then the communist did because it failed misurably and it had become the female counterpart of the klan from day one.
