Actually, from what I can tell most radical feminist tend to harm women more than men (SWEFS, TERFS, ect.) similarly to how most victims of the French Revolution were peasants.

I'm not entirely sure if that's true, but radical feminism's negative impact on hookers and trans* people is still worthy of discussion.

Or maybe that's a gigolo or a transwoman she's getting ready to kill.

Either way the radical feminist movement is stupid and destructive.

Are there really enough of them to make a big deal about it?

Sounds like the elusive feminazis to me...
Consumption is not a politically combative act — refraining from consumption even less so.

There are actual institutions with state backing that are harming these groups and I would rather focus my attention on those than worry about a boogeyman one step removed from feminazis.

Reminds me of the old RadfemHub quotes that used to appear on FSTDT.

Does this ideology actually count as feminism though? Aren't the more gender supremacists in the vein of Vox Day?

That said, I've stopped trying to anticipate what people around here want a while ago, I've found it makes things smoother.
For I was an hungred, and ye told me to pull myself up by my bootstraps: I was thirsty, and ye demanded payment for the privilege of thine urine: I was a stranger, and ye deported me: naked, and ye arrested me for indecency.

No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

i don't see how that's good. but perhaps i'm being a bit harsh, on account of the fact that i don't believe in the concept of racism (xenophobia, on the other hand is a huge problem). you see, admitting that there is a concept of "racism" is admitting that there are different races of humans. there are none anymore (for example, neanderthal was a different race, but they're extinct). this cartoon is a bunch of strawmen. what should be done is adress the root cause instead of decrying those fallacies.

10 is a moot point. it's over and done, get over it. the more defensive you are, the guiltier you look.
9 is bull. it's not ok to criticize anyone based on origins.
8 is false, seeing as xenophobia is still rampant worldwide.
7 is a no true scotsman.
6 is too near-sighted. let's talk "racism", not "racism against x". target the big problem, not the details.
5 what. cultural myopia combined with political correctness gone silly?
4 it does distract from the point, but it is related, so no, it's not unfair. immigration is a problem: humans should go wherever they feel like going.
3 bull. unless you're a goddamned blessed handyman, give credit where credit is due.
2 no true scotsman.
1 good for you, that however doesn't discount you from helping to kill racism and xenophobia. that's what i'm doing right now.

this comic is as racist as anything: just flip the race card around and it applies to any background. that, and it's racist by recognizing whites as a race. it's not. i'd move this to "worst political cartoons", truth be told.

nah, felt like raging tumblr-style. but imagine not believing in race like i do and seeing humans tear each other apart. it would rankle for you too.
