I'm just your friendly neighborhood Super Lesbian. I reblog Kill la Kill stuff and post my navel fetish Yuri here. I also know that my blog may look a little... suggestive, but bear with me, I'm not a complete pervert.
My deviant art:...
This shirt caught my attention the other day on Pinterest. It states I don’t need Google my husband knows everything. I’m left wondering is there a shirt out there for me to promote their wife’s intelligence? After searching for a while, I found nothing. Only the “this is what feminism looks like” shirt. I challenge this shirt and I don’t understand why any woman would wear this. This shirt is a statement of submission in a patriarchal society. Women’s rights and strengths are not promoted by male domination is.
It also says something about the power distribution in a relationship. I would never wear a shirt that shows disrespect for myself or spouse like that. And I know my significant other would never wear a shirt essentially saying “my girlfriend is smarter than me”. It’s self shaming and shows who has control in the relationship.
Found this after literally four seconds of Googling. This leads me to believe that maybe you didn’t spend as much time searching for it as you claim, but I digress.
The exact same company also sells “I don’t need Google my husband knows everything” shirts for men.
And “I don’t need Google my wife knows everything” shirts for women.
So the company who manufactures the shirt you originally posted also sells a male equivalent, AND it even makes shirts intended for gay couples.
Judge feminism by its actions then and not it’s definition. It is easy to claim to care, but feminism, the feminism that has had the power to change things, has voted against helping people like this man, including but not limited to opposing abuse shelters for me, opposing gender neutral rape definitions, opposing equal treatment in sentencing of women, and let us not forget the constant jokes about harming men. #killallmen, “I look so good that I could kill a man with a single glance”, “if a guy says something you don’t like, hit him”. And to top it off, we have the problem of feminists making efforts to stop violence into a women’s issue. Roughly half of domestic violence victims being male means nothing. Women also being roughly half of abusers means nothing. Male abuse victims not being able to come forth without fear of being arrested means nothing.
Heforshe is good example of this. It claims to support equality for all. It even got a big space about how it was also helping men, but we see through practice and their own mission statement that it is purely about women.
So no, when judging it by its actions, feminism has no right to claim this as their issue to fight. It is better in the hands of people who truly care.
Ayy what have you got against feminism? Just curious... Seems like you a personal vendetta

What do I have against feminism?
What do I have against feminism?
Feminism is a movement that uses fear-mongering tactics to gain support. One of the more popular fear-mongering myths is that 1-in-4 college women will be raped during their time in college.
This year, there are roughly 11 million women enrolled in college. That would mean a total of 2,750,000 college rape cases in the last four years.
Do you know how many rape cases are reported annually? About 89,000. With the assumed 60% unreported rate, that’s about 195,000 rape cases per year. Over a four year span, assuming that the statistics stay exactly the same? That would be about 785,000 cases of rape.Oh, did I mention that this is all cases of rape in America, not just college-campus cases.
Over a four year period in America, the number of rapes that occur fall nearly 2,000,000 cases short of the feminist “1/4 college women” statistic.
This parroted stat isn’t just wrong: It was maliciously fabricated by Mary Koss for Ms Magazine, a long running popular feminist publication.
Mary Koss, who ran an incredibly flawed survey, can be quoted as saying “[a]lthough consideration of male victims is within the scope of the legal statutes, it is important to restrict the term rape to instances where male victims were penetrated by offenders. It is inappropriate to consider as a rape victim a man who engages in unwanted sexual intercourse with a woman.”
The woman who a ran a totally-not-biased survey [with a staggeringly low sample size of just 6,000 students], can be quoted as saying that men can not consider unwanted sexual intercourse “rape” in the same way women could.
totally-not-biased
“bu-bu-bu wat aboot da rape culture?!”
The idea that America is a rape culture is fucking ridiculous in itself. Rape statistics have dropped over 60 percent in the last 20 years. America is a country in which rapists are punished harshest, only second to homicide.
Can you really consider a society a “rape culture” when it is viewed as only slightly less appalling than murder?
But feminists? They keep spreading these bullshit statistics.
“Okay, so feminists exaggerate…”
These aren’t exaggerations. They are malicious lies with one purpose: To harm men.
“Okay, but how have men been hurt by feminism?”
Remember Mary Koss? I mentioned her earlier. Remember her quote?
Let me refresh your memory:
“[a]lthough consideration of male victims is within the scope of the legal statutes, it is important to restrict the term rape to instances where male victims were penetrated by offenders. It is inappropriate to consider as a rape victim a man who engages in unwanted sexual intercourse with a woman.”
Nearly 20 years later, the federal definition of rape was changed to mirror this quote.
The FBI has redefined rape as “penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim.”
“But the old definition of rape only included women!”
At least the old definition was honest. While the new definition allows male victims, it eliminates the most common form of female-on-male rape. The definition does not allow forced-to-penetrate to be included as “rape”. Forced-to-penetrate means if someone is forced to penetrate someone else. For example: A woman climbs on top of me and forced my penis inside her.
That is not rape, according to the federal definition that mirrors a bigoted statement by “Ms False Rape Statistics” herself.
“Okay, maybe feminists have had an impact on rape legislation. But is that all?”
Are you aware of the Duluth Model?
The Duluth Model is doctrine which all US law enforcement agencies use to respond to Domestic Violence situations. This doctrine paints men as the primary aggressors in heterosexual domestic violence situations. This all but insures that only men are arrested for and charged with domestic violence.
If you’re interested, here is a 95 page study breaking down the existence of “the wage gap”.
To break it down, “wage gap” is a misnomer. What we have is an “earnings gap”.
“What’s the difference?”
The difference is simple:
A wage gap suggests that people are paid differently for the same work.
An earnings gap is simply the fact that a gap exists.
The problem is, women aren’t paid less for the same work. The Equal Pay Act of 1963 prevents this from happening.
“Drugs are illegal, but people still do them.”
You know how else drug-use and paying women less for the same work have in common?
If you get caught doing either, you will be punished. It’s a shitty analogy, and you should feel bad for using it.
Women do make less money than men, but it isn’t for the same work. Men are more likely to work more hours, work more dangerous jobs, and take less time off than women. Men are more likely to take higher-paying career paths.
“We clearly live in a Patriarchy though! Women have less rights than men!”
We live in a society that teaches boys from the age they can walk that women are to be protected at all costs. We live in a society that teaches boys that it’s a good and honorable thing to risk your own health, safety, and even life to help women.
Haven’t you ever heard the phrase “women and children first”?
Men are expected to put themselves last. Men are viewed as disposable in our nation. If we lived in a patriarchal society, the reverse would be true. Men would do anything for self-preservation; Instead, we put our necks on the line for women on a consistent basis.
“But-”
If you have any more specific questions, feel free to ask.
PEOPLE LIVING IN FIRST WORLD COUNTRIES NEED FEMINISM
PEOPLE LIVING IN SECOND WORLD COUNTRIES NEED FEMINISM
PEOPLE LIVING IN THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES NEED FEMINISM
EVERYONE NEEDS FEMINISM

what rights do first world women not have that men have?
Its not necessarily “rights” women don’t have that men do. Its more about discrimination for me anyways. Everyone is different. For example:
Women hold less seats in Congress Women are more likely to experience both domestic violence and rape (not saying men can’t be vitims also) There is a wage gap even for women who are in Americas top 10 highest paying jobs.
Also if we want to talk rights, nothing in the U.S. Constitution guarantees women the same rights as a man. Equal Rights Amendment never passed.
1) “Women hold less seats in Congress”
There is literally nothing stopping women from going into those positions of power. There are no rules or regulations that say that women can’t be in those positions. This isn’t “discrimination”, this is women’s personal choices. Since when is women choosing to not go into those jobs somehow “discrimination” against them?
2) “Women are more likely to experience both domestic violence and rape”
The number for women is higher, but not by much. 40-50% of domestic violence is suffered by men, which is nearly half. Men get domestically abused nearly as much as women do.
Also, there isn’t really a sure way of knowing how many men get raped considering the fact that feminists pushed the FBI to change the definition of rape so that it’s only inclusive for women. So even if a man did get raped, it probably wouldn’t be reported because it wouldn’t be considered rape. You can thank your precious feminists for that :)
3) “There is a wage gap even for women who are in Americas top 10 highest paying jobs.”
Ugh not this bullshit again. This “wage gap” shit has been disproven time and time again because the logic behind it is so flawed. Like are telling me that every single company on this planet, even the small business and even the ones owned/run by women, are paying its female employees 77% of what the male employees are making?
According to a report by the CONSAD Research Corp, the main cause for this “wage gap” is simply women choosing to go into lower paying jobs. For example, while women go into jobs like teaching, secretaries, social services, nursing, etc, men go into jobs like engineering, doctors, pharmacists, etc. Source: [x]
The wage gap is a misleading statistic made by feminists by taking the average salaries of all men and the average salaries of all women and comparing them without taking into account job types, hours worked, days taken off, quality of work, etc. When all these accounts are taken into consideration, the “wage gap” practically vanishes. But the feminists just took their finding and held that standard to every job, which is incredibly misleading.
Also, paying women less than a man just for being a woman was made illegal by the Equal Pay Act of 1963. You hear that? Illegal. You know what that means? That means that if a woman thinks that she is being payed unfairly because of her gender, she can take that to a federal court and the company that she works under can lose everything.
4) “Also if we want to talk rights, nothing in the U.S. Constitution guarantees women the same rights as a man. Equal Rights Amendment never passed.”
Have you never heard of the Civil Rights Act of 1964? That act not only made it illegal to discriminate against blacks for being black, but also made it illegal to discriminate against women for being women. That’s right, there’s an act that made it illegal to discriminate against a person based on their race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. How’s that for an “Equal Rights Amendment”?
Third wave feminism teaches women that society hates them, that men are out to get them, that the world thinks they are lesser, that if they try to pursue their dreams in fields such as gaming or the sciences they will be faced with abhorrent sexism and discrimination at every turn. It teaches them fear.
It says that without feminism they are nothing, that they owe feminism their unquestioning allegiance, and it shuns, shames and abuses women who are non feminists and women who disagree with the modern feminism movement while upholding a sexual predator (Lena Dunham) as a feminist hero and condemning feminists fighting for true equality (Christina HS).
You are such gigantic fucking idiots for thinking this was ever a real movement.
For starters, “meninism” isn’t even a word. The proper term would be “Masculism”. The fact that it is clearly—CLEARLY—a mishmash intended to rhyme with “feminism” should have been a giant red flag to anyone with a brain.
And if there is anyone actually taking it seriously, they’re just as foolish as the women who continue to give feminism a bad name, and are the ones whose behavior spurned the creation of the “meninism” joke in the first place. The behavior you see on tumblr abusing the label is NOT feminism. It is what is being mocked. It is not that anyone is actually against men and women being equal. It is the fact that some women have turned it into what our current Pope has referred to as “chauvinism in a skirt”.
I’ll start this off by saying that I am not against feminism in any way… or at least real feminism. I am however, against blatant agenda pushing and the misuse of a term that is meant to signify equality.
This is a really dumb tweet. Let’s dissect it.
A quick analysis tells me a few things:
Anita Sarkeesian has clearly never played Persona 4
Anita Sarkeesian is judging this character purely by her looks
Anita Sarkeesian has absolutely no clue what she is talking about
The character on the press badge is Rise Kujikawa, one of the main characters of the video game Persona 4. Rise, is a 15 year old former Japanese idol who has starred in films, television series, and commercials. Oh, and she’s also a pop star.
Now surely its not too hard to imagine that a pop star would be dressed that way, right? Especially when considering that this is all an advertisement for a DANCING game.
“We idols aren’t just dolls to be gawked at! – You just can’t connect with anyone unless you let them in to see the real you!” - Rise Kujikawa
Rise’s entire character arc throughout Persona 4 revolves around her realization that she is much more than Risette (her idol name). She gives up all fame and fortune because she is tired of being a sex object and wants to be respected. Near the end of her arc, Rise also realizes that there is a part of her that wants to be Risette, and that isperfectly okay.
Rise is perhaps one of the most well written female characters in video game history and to judge her at face value is to spit in the face of all that feminism stands for.
True feminism is about empowering woman, telling them that they can do anything they want regardless of what society says. Not slut-shaming a fictional character because she has a bit of her midriff showing.
"I need feminism because my substitute teacher today was male" "I need feminism because 2 males are credited for having founded Google just because they created the company" "I need feminism because I'm a girl and my last name is Johnson" This has been lines SJWs probably will cross soon and I'm surprised they haven't yet
