Well they sound positively cheery.

If you guys want some actual feminazis(as in, not a Tumblr social justice blogger who throws a fit at the newest Tomb Raider or because a guy hit on her, but as an actual radical), all you need to do is Google “Radfem Hub.” They’re basically Stormfront, except instead of blacks and Jews, they view men and young boys as subhuman, and at least one commentator wants male infanticide to be legal AND required. They are not a troll site. They are completely serious. Have fun!

I love the irony of “feminazi.”
 
Never mind the fact that the Nazis were staunchly anti-feminist, I don’t really think misandry is the same as wanting a one race world.

@Trot: That pretty much cover my positions as well.
 
I’m also a feminist insomuch that it’s a reaction to living deep in Rush Limbaugh territory. Then again, you can pretty much hear him screaming from Missouri “BLARGH! FEMINAZIS!” from just about anywhere in the country. If that country happens to be the U.S.

I’m feminist in the sense that all genders should have equal pay, lifestyle choices, and job opportunities.
 
Misandry is no better than misogyny.

I have disdain for MODERN feminism.  
I don’t disagree with women working/voting but the current misandrist legal climate worries me
 
In fact, I found this show because of that Feminist article calling it racist, homophobic, ant-intellectual and misogynist
 
But I dont want to get into a whole thing here

@WhiteKnight
 
That’s sounds sorta right. It also counts at how dimorphic a species is that determines long term mates (more dimorphic, more short term).
 
Also, are you implying feminism is generally good, bad, or neutral? Sorry, if I misunderstand that part.

Okay, An angle is investigated in these comments is how sexual strategies are largely a product of natural selection.
 
A good way to show this based in the reproductive strategies different animals will employ to survive as a species.
 
There is R: This is used in environments of instability. The idea is the the females form a harem around one or a few alpha males and push out as many kids as they can because most will die.
 
The other is K: this occurs in the stable environment. It involves having fewer kids but investing in those kids.  
The males who get laid in this environment tend to have the following qualities: dependability, prospects, nurturing instincts and tend to be more intelligent.
 
For humans we are primarily K type, we have instincts for R type but… well look around we aren’t dignified in that state.  
This is why women are attracted to married men because those men have ostensibly proven themselves to be marriage material.  
And yes, women get to choose. Sperm is cheap, eggs are not. Primitive man competed for the right to breed, not primitive woman. It’s just the way it is.
 
Interesting fact about stable versus unstable environments: for humans, the stable environment is one of scarcity whereas the environment of plenty or overabundance is the unstable one.
 
Now feel free to connect this simplified reproductive knowledge to the feminist political climate
 
@Splinter17  
The name is ironic. I take a more or less indifferent approach to the whole subject

I see what you did there.

Oh fuck, I’m not looking forward to reading all these comments

@Splinter
 
I think that’s true. Social pressure and media allows men that they are entitled to having a beautiful woman. Even though, it doesn’t work that way.
 
Also, most western nations have women outnumber men, which makes it all the more funny.

@professor_of_hoers  
I’d argue that many of the “baaaaw I’ve been friendzoned” crowd are just entitled twats.  
Again, so what if she turned you down. It sucks, it hurts the ego, but there’s plenty of other women out there. Hell, in most colleges in the States, for example, the women outnumber the men by almost 60-40.

I’d reckon women have just as high a drive as men do. They’re just much, MUCH better at hiding it in public, especially since, you know, while a man who beds a lot of women = stud, a woman who tries to do the same with men = whore to a surprisingly amount of people, male or female.  
Anyway, it is possible for men and women to be friends if there’s no sexual attraction between the two at all.I myself have one female friend that I’ve known since elementary school. She’s pretty and all but even thinking of being with her in that way is just “the fuck is wrong with you, she’s like my sister.” We both actually crack up when someone asks “so are you dating yet?”  
Anyway, if you’ve been friend zoned, just move the fuck on. Don’t try to seduce her, don’t try to sway her by being a “nice guy”, don’t even bother. Especially if she’s already taken. Yes, it sucks that someone you’re crushing on doesn’t return your feelings, but it’s better for you and for her if you get over it, or you’ll end up bitter and miserable. This doesn’t just apply to men but to women as well.

Well, anyway, it should probably be also noted that there are of course exceptions to every rule. Just because men want to hook up with their female friends in general doesn’t mean you absolutely can’t have a truly platonic relationship with the opposite sex.
 
I’m pretty much asexual when it comes to real people. I can’t think of any female friends I’d want to persue a relationship with or “hook up” with. It’s just, in general, the friendzone thing is very real. It’s not real because women are being cruel. It’s real because people fool themselves and take an unrealistic POV.

Maybe
 
It makes sense for men to have sex on the mind more often in a natural sort of way
 
The women have to waste more energy on the actual act of reproduction so men probably have to waste more on the hunt it seems fair

Good thing I don’t have any friends, men or women.

@Cotton
 
I think it’s environmental.
 
Proportionally, my town doesn’t have a lot of sex-minded women. Men is a slightly different story.
 
And I’d be lying if I said I don’t think about it a lot from time to time.

that’s kinda weird cause I know the women I know are much more focused on sex than the men I know
 
maybe it’s just the area or me or both

Romance is a war. But hey, Dragonquest, Mare-Do-Well and Hearthswarming Eve are hardly even cannon. Some of my favorite episodes, but the characters were not very… in-character. For Dragonquest and Hearth’s Warming Eve, sure, that could be overlooked. Anyway, they were all written by the same person (can’t recall who, she just wrote those three). I feel Secret of my Excess would be more accurate to her feelings. I think it’s because of his maturity stage and species, though technically Spike is not much younger than Twilight, so it stands to reason that he’s close to Rarity’s age, so concievably she might come to overlook those and… Maybe that’s just me hoping.

@hoers:
 
I loved how they ended that article:
 
“So, can men and women be “just friends?” If we all thought like women, almost certainly. But if we all thought like men, we’d probably be facing a serious overpopulation crisis.”

@hoers
 
I know, but it still doesn’t quite make me feel better.
 
Also makes the prospect of romance for me seem more pointless.

That was very informative PoH. And nicely put.
