On the Red Pill and "feminism"

The problem that i see with the most vocal modern day feminist groups is they say they want to free us from constructs... by implementing just another construct. And the new social construct ignores entirely the remnants of the patriarchal system that effect men. It just looks like patriarchy with a gender flip, matriarchy. It's no better or worse, same oppression with a different hat. I've seen women destroyed because they didn't conform.

There was a recent talk in Sydney entitled "How To Be A Feminist" where it blatantly said feminism is not about freedom and choice. It's now about towing the party line. In this way modern day feminism is about helping feminism, not helping women have more choices and opportunities as it should be.

I worry when to be a feminist who believes in true equality and liberation from social structures you have to add the descriptors "equity" and "choice" to your title. Even need to add "sex positive" to explain you don't believe depictions of sex and violence in narrative form lead to actual sexual violence. These seem to have become seperate descriptors when i think they should be core values.

Just to explain, not an MRA, but the issues this movie brings up concern me. Not just on a personal level. I've lost friends over the past few years due to their intolerance and outright close-mindedness. It's the reduction of people into stereotypes and the destruction of individual identity through placing them into groups. People defined by what group they belong to instead of on their individual merits, words and deeds. You have to worry when your gurus say it's permissive to hate a certain person based on their race/gender/sexual orientations etc. It's why i stay away from church nowadays. In some cases, not all obviously, feminism has become a religion. It exists to exist but not to find solutions to problems because if the problems are solved there's no need for the movement. This is why outrage culture exists, to perpetuate movements, unfortunately not to solve problems.

I just love that the documentarian instead of saying she knew all there was to know about "these people" based on the rhetoric of her peers and why look beyond that? She instead looks for herself. In this google everything age that's to be commended.
