Crazy feminist quotes

[Wolfgang D]

The feminists who said these things are not fringe lunatics in their movement; many are the leaders of their movement. Andrea Dworkin, Betty Friedan, Gloria Steinem, Naomi Wolf were/are some of the top names in feminism.

[LiveFreeX]

Damn those are some ugly b1tches wolf.

 

[Who Dares Win]

Lol in any forum where some girl talk about feminism I'll simply quotes those lines, they explain themselves.

Get those b1tches some pills, but powerful ones.

 

[DoubleBarrel]

Reading these quotes, why do I get the impression that radical feminism is nothing more than a response to being rejected by men? And these women just use the movement as a way to conceal and hide their hurt feelings of being unwanted from others and themselves?

Furthermore, it seems like they only want to propagate their ideas to desirable women to stop them from getting what the radicals will never get for themselves, so the feminists no longer have to envy the beautiful women.

What do you guys think?

Is radical feminism nothing more than a "comfort food" for fat, ugly women because they will never attract Mr. Right?

 

[Wolfgang D]

Damn those are some ugly b1tches wolf.

Hideous, indeed; my apologies.

It should be noted that while not all of these feminist leaders are unattractive, most are.


Glad to give you ammo, Who Dares Wins. And isn't it odd how we never hear these quotes? When kids are told about feminism in school, why don't they show us any of these? Why don't we hear about them on television, whenever feminism is brought up in the news or in a documentary? When women in TV shows go feminist on the men, why aren't these quotes ever mentioned? (The men are either forced to back off, or defend themselves with some "chauvinist" line that the viewers will look down on.)

DoubleBarrel, this is not "radical feminism", it is feminism. Andrea Dworkin, Susan Sonntag, Betty Friedan, Gloria Steinem and Naomi Wolf are leaders and founders of modern feminism. All of them have said sick things like you see here. (Betty Friedan, for example, was a member of the Communist Party USA, and only left when she published her book The Feminine Mystique to hide her allegiance. Most of the feminist leaders when things got rolling were part of left-wing extremist "front groups". As they even admit themselves, feminism was another method to break up Western society.) I have seen the course material from "Women's Studies" at a university, and this kind of talk appears in the material handed out to students there - and is treated as perfectly normal and worthy of discussion. The writers discuss whether there should be a worldwide guerilla war against men, where the surviving men are put under women's control and kept only for recreational purposes. And they aren't joking. They really are this insane. They probably get off on writing it and talking about it. Feminist leaders are not normal people. Normal people would never dedicate their lives to a career based on hating the other sex. The further into feminism you dig, the more disturbing things you find. And there is nothing in the more public layers, the ones shown on TV and in classrooms, that opposes the deeper levels - their internal logic leads to them.

Feminists are expert at obfuscation, and dancing between numerous "waves and movements" within feminism is a good example. "Oh, X said that? Well I'm not that nasty kind of X theta muntjac wave of -militant- feminist, I'm the nicer delta artichoke platypus wave version!"

What other field of study that has been around only 50 years claims so many strands and waves? None. Christianity has been around 2000 years and hardly claims so many "orthodoxies." Obfuscation all. Put on a dress until daddy signs the tuition check, then right back to the Mao hat and book. Transparent.

Feminism is indeed all one thing.

It began not with any mythical first wave of disparate writings of the past, or even with the suffragettes, none of whom would have agreed with feminists other than in getting the vote, but in the 1960s, fomented by academic Marxists and spearheaded by the book "The Feminist Mystique," written by Betty Friedan, a well-documented career propagandist for the Communist Party. Yet we will never hear that aspect of feminism discussed either.

"Feminism" is simply "socialism" misspelled, always has been, always will be, no matter how pretty a dress they put on for "daddy" until the check is signed.

EDIT: As an aside, I posted the OP list or parts of it to other feminist leaning forums, and was met by 5 quotes from Nietzsche, W.C. Fields and a few others, none currently alive or relevant, some of the quotes were 200 years old, as examples of equivalent "misogyny." Of course they didn't want to hear any differences in the nature of the quotes, most of which were penned by entertainers, people seeking to shock, or professional gadflies. This leads me to the conclusion that feminists know full well they are hateful, discriminatory asshats, and simply don't care.

 

[Cieg]

What I hate among feminists is that they always babble their mouth about feminism as gender equality, but can't deny the fact that what we all hear from them are 'for women, for women, for women' and nothing for men.

Yep, you know the truth. And their behavior is exactly the same as other left-wing extremist groups, who always jump from one definition to another in order to escape responsibility and to make it impossible to talk about what they belong to.
"Oh, I'm not a Stalinist, I'm a Marxist-Leninist." "Oh, I'm not a Leninist, I'm a Maoist." "Oh, I'm not a Maoist, I'm a Trotskyist." "Oh, I'm not a Trotskyist, I'm a Gramscian." But when they let their guard down you hear what they really think.
