I hate the word ‘Consumer’ or I mockingly call it ‘CONSOOMER’. Because that’s to imply everyone in the world is just cattle, but with wallets. We’re no longer customers. We’re consumers now. And a consumer’s purpose is to consume shit, whatever is put out there. Got money? Shut up and consume, it’s what corporate interests and capitalism itself thrive on. Consume and consume.

    “feminist” simply because 90% of people don’t know what that word means

      Had a lit class many years ago where the professor was a self proclaimed feminist. The first day, she went off curriculum and had everyone reading some heavily propagandized literature. She was openly hostile towards any of the men in the class. Refused to answer any of their questions, belittled them, etc. I dropped it, and one of my best friends stayed in out of curiosity. A couple months later, he told me that she was failing every guy that was still there. Purely malicious and discriminatory.

      That’s been my experience with the more outspoken “feminists” I’ve met. Sorry if someone hurt you, I really, truly am, but being that sort of vindictive and malicious towards men doesn’t make you a feminist. It makes you a sexist and every bit as bad as the assholes who treat women poorly.

      How hard is it to just be good and respectful to everyone?

      You have much faith in humanity if you think that is being done simply because they don’t know.

      There’s plenty of manipulative assholes misusing it and trying to hide behind it to take advantage of someone with it. And you’ll see that manipulation in every group. Con artists are everywhere. Don’t blame the game. Blame the player.
