A lot of drama arises from the article "Walking While Fat and Female – Or, Why I Don’t Care Not All Men are Like That"
One person objects to what they see as stereotyping men.

You're just being paranoid.

But what about male catcalling victims? Which are a thing a guess.

In another thread, a woman says she doesn't want to take her husband's name. Some people think she should.

I try not to editorialize, but I think people are unfairly piling on this person for calling asinine teen bullshit asinine teen bullshit.

> Why I Don’t Care Not All Men are Like That
I thought generalizing about a group of people was bad. Isn't that the whole basis of "not all feminists are like that." What's different about this weird "not all men are like that" campaign?
Go read the article and actually learn about what your talking about.
Edit: BTW what this woman is doing is not stereotyping men, she's repeating what men are saying to her. Supposed you had a crappy day and a feminist came up to you ranting about what an evil dick you are and patriarchy etc. etc. And then you felt like crap, so you went to your friends and told them about this crazy feminist. And then one girl gets ultra offended and is like "well not all feminists are like that. Why are you attacking feminism?!" And then you have to spend 10 minutes going "no I'm not attacking feminism, I'm relating this story about a crazy chick".
That is exactly what is woman is saying. She had a bad day being catcalled by dumb morons and she went to her buds and talked about these douches and then someone was all like "why are you attacking men?! Man-hater! Misandry" and she has to spend 10 minutes going "no I'm not attacking men I'm stating that I get catcalled".
It's the pointing about dick behavior is "violating the 1st admendment", "offending me", "reverse discrimination" schtick

SHE'S SAYING ITS NOT OK. FOR THE LOVE OF STUPID. SHE'S NOT GENERALIZING.
She's saying that when is trying to talk about her experiences, someone will go "well not all men are like that". Well no fuck I know that but that's a shitty thing to say and it invalidates her experience. People catcalling happens, it's a thing and we should all work to make it not ok.

Jesus Christ that's a lot of buzzwords. I get what you're saying, even though you sound like such a petty asshole saying it.
I figured I would put in small, simple words you might understand since you kept missing my point and you don't seem to have the patience to read an article.
You made no point. Your comment was just "read an article." That's literally the only comment you made. There was no point to miss. I actually asked for an article, to which you responded with your own tirade that I read and accepted.
Do you think I'm some other person that you had a discussion with?
When I say read the article I meant read the article. The comments refer to an article up top. The original post was an article. I don't understand how more obvious it could be. Maybe you should take lessons on common sense.
Fine, but I didn't "keep" missing your point. I missed it once and you went crazy. You seem so angry. Is 2X's default status getting to you too? Or are you just having a rough day?
I have no patience for morons who can't read articles and have no common sense. Go read the article.
Stop making up excuses not to read the article and just read the damn thing.
I already said I got it in the comment you responded to.
Did you read the article?
I will. You can stop worrying now.
Most excellent. It shouldn't have taken all these comments just for you to read the thing you're criticizing, consider working on that fault in the future.
