This is what a feminist looks like - A censor

There is a silly little vacuous propoganda video on youtube entitled "this is what a feminist looks like".

It's what you'd expect. Feminists believe in smiles and rainbows and gumbdrop lollipop trees! It's a load of rot. But if you were to examine the comments on the thread below the video then you'll see something all too predicable.

This is why I disable comment voting. It is a cudgel for the majority to beat down the opposition. It is a tool that is overwhelmingly used by intellecual thugs and doesn't serve a valid purpose apart from that.

Who is willing to guess that those grey comments disagree? Are they all obscene? I doubt it but youtube isn't giving me a way to view them.

Here is the video.

    Ugh...that video is bad. How can anyone fall for that type of trick when its so old and overdone? These are clearly people talking about how great they are...but its just a flashy display; it holds no substance and they concern me with their desire to remain in power. I can understand trying to keep female rights...but that isn't what they seem to be potraying to me; just that feminism is an ongoing fight and always will be. That is not a good sign.

    People fall for it when they're ignorant of the kinds of things we know.

    True, I understand how that works. Most people don't have time for what they view as something trivial to their lives, since those same people more often than not are decent enough not to use the law to screw people over.

    It does however, occasionally find a way to screw people over itself. Feminist groups are sorta like that. This video was like watching the spice girls, except with less music, shorter, and possibly a somewhat better plot.

    You can read the posts by clicking 'reply'. Then they will pop out.

    I don't know what youtube did to the 'show' button.

    What is striking to me about the feminist writers I've seen is the tendency to censor comments that holds opposing views.

    Most of them attribute this to hateful comments, or what they call sexist misogynist attacks. At first I thought that it might be the case, especially of youtube, but upon investigation many of these comments appeared to be respectful of the opposing view though disagreeing and stating their beliefs in a polite manner.

    At first I thought it was a fluke. Surely this must be a rare case. But as I investigated more sites varying from regular blogs run by equality idealists and to feminist radicals, I became convinced that this was very prominent.

    As a believer in freedom of speech, and being someone having an interest in equality related topics, I find this not only disturbing but simply horrific. How can anyone claim interest in the status of our culture based explicitly on biased views, and not enabling followers of that media-source to decide for themselves?

    Is that really what feminism is? Censorship? Oppression? I proceeded to search for forums related to feminist issues wanting to discuss this matter, but I have been unable to find anywhere where I am able to discuss these matters with feminists without either being a. Not allowed to register in the first place, or b. being censored for holding this opposing view.

    I think I will make a video about this sometime in the future.

    Thanks dalsgaard. The part of feminist that censor is their leftist nature. They are a left leaning victims group, you can observe their tactics in many other groups that are like them.

The umbrella in particular is remembered as the symbol of the nineteenth century’s disturbing obsession with individualism. In Bellamy’s utopia, umbrellas have been replaced with retractable canopies so that everyone is protected from the rain equally.
“In the nineteenth century,” explains a character, “when it rained, the people of Boston put up three hundred thousand umbrellas over as many heads, and in the twentieth century they put up one umbrella over all the heads.”
