More related to the thread responses than the comic, but I never got the argument that something can be dismissed because it's a basic analysis of the subject being discussed, especially when the general population (at best) barely acknowledges it. It would be one thing if it was used in an academic discussion among people who study these things as a career, but in a public discussion, especially on the internet, it's glib to invalidate something like this as too simplistic.

I'll give that this doesn't deserve it's own thread (assuming the feminism thread still exists), but my point still stands.

Because I think it is an ideology wholly owned and subsidized by the bourgeoise. Rarely does it permeate into where it is needed the most: households with high birth rates and huge amounts of poverty- both only possible because of traditional gender roles. Post gender equality will only happen after it does reach the proletariat.

e: and yeah, white people owning an ideology tends to make it suck

He's not wrong. Modern, Western feminism is so focused on "breaking the glass ceiling" that it's almost at the expense of women who work in lower income and/or traditionally "pink-color" jobs. Not to mention that while women earn 78% of what a man males overall, black women tend to earn 64% and Hispanic women earn 54%.

It's not that feminism is a bad thing, it just has some issues it really needs to address (like every other leftist cause).

I mean yeah, it'd certainly be lamentable if Hollywood became more like Bollywood. Not everything needs to be a musical afterall.
