Because people keep saying feminism this, feminism that, and using slanderous terms like femi-nazis, so I want to know who this disreputable face of feminism is. Cough it up.
Or you, born to preach. Put your money where your mouth is.
Schraff, I was just kidding about that femme naz- Whoa wait, this is contracycle!
Look, it's starting to seem like you have some kind of grudge against me for telling racist jokes way back then. I'm not racist or sexist, crapcycle. Get over it.
As for puttin' my money where my mouth is I spent pretty much my last dollar on that bad blind date(see my last thread) about two weeks ago, and then my actual last dollar on a gatorade, so no dough.
But as I've mentioned before, these 'femme-nazis' are these girls at my school who bitch and moan about everything all the time; they mostly blame men for all their problems. They stand out because they all hang out together and want to start a Young Women's club at my school. I mentioned that I knew there was more to feminism than these screeching banshees; again I was JOKING kind of like the last time you tried to tag me for something I didn't(and still don't) really mean.

Point for feminism
Right when I got on the internet just now I got an advertisement for life insurance. It showed how much money you could get depending on your age and your gender. If you're a woman you get about 10% less life insurance than if you are a man according to the advertisement.
That's just plain wrong and I support anyone who wants to put a stop to something like that.

Women can be...terrifying
and is it somehow more acceptable that male adolescents pay about 1.5x the amount of car insurance that female adolescents do?
By no means, and I completely disagree with anyone who says women are safer drivers. I could go quit a while telling horror stories about these crazy volleyball players that almost ran over me in the parking lot freshmen year... twice!
Oh, and let's not forget this lady coach at a wrestling camp I went to just before summer ended... who nearly ran over a friend and me while honking and yelling "Get the hell off the road ya punks!" It was the parking lot by the way, and she was doing at least 40.
Scary people...

and don't forget, men have 100 times the female dose of a hormone known to cause risky, show-off behavior (maybe you've heard of it, its called "testosterone")
WHOA!! I knew we had way more, but 100 times?! Geez. Okay, that's a legit point. Still, it's only as legit as giving women less for life insurance simply because they live longer. We don't get to choose which chromosomes get matched up to make us.
The plural of "anecdote" is not "data".
Well, that's a good point.
