People's misunderstanding of feminism is the most annoying topic of the decade. Feminism in it's true form is a wonderful thing and not annoying at all. If people would take just a little bit of time out of their lives to actually sit down and get a real understanding of what feminism stands for than a lot of the ignorance surrounding the topic would go away and it wouldn't seem quite so 'annoying'.
It's the ignorant people who make the discussion annoying.
Half of the people don't even know what it means.
Feminism is not an exclusive club.
A feminist is someone who believes in the equality of the sexes.
For example: Kim Kardashian may in some eyes "objectify" herself or "empower" herself.
Regardless, I think it's safe to say she's a feminist.
I highly doubt she believes men and women are not equal and the same goes for most people.
You can't write all feminists off as tumblr idiots/homophobes/racists because we're from all different walks of life.
Here's a good talk by Chimanda Ngozi Adiche for those of you who want to be more educated.
nope. it's one of the most necessary topics of the decade.
I've noticed a trend in people like you who are so against social justice... you always resort to name calling instead of offering any substantial statements to defend your opinions. It's always "whiners" "social justice warriors ugh" "you're annoying" "you're brainless."
It's honestly like speaking to a child.
This as well. Giving me a white guy complaining about reverse racism tea.
That alone represents 98% of our generation to a T, all talk no walk, I don't need studies nor I need online "feminists" lying to me saying they actually do something productive for the movement, I can see that by myself
It's fine when women talk about it/ascribe to it.
What's annoying is when forum gays appoint themselves experts on the matter when in reality it has 0 to do with them. It's not your war to fight. Lol.
Isn't it actually important that everyone, not just women fight for feminism. Same way everyone should fight for marriage equality, not just homosexual or bisexual women and men and how we should all support the end of racism, especially since people of colour are a minority and their voices will never be respected as long as white people don't start giving a **** or two about stopping racism.
They are Homophobic cause they act like gay men owe them something. When they where the most homophobic people back In the day. They also hate Black people and Asians. They poke fun of black feminists all the time. They also dragged this an Asian women for being really skinny and called her all type of slurs cause she didn't fit their agenda. If you don't support them they will threaten to kill you. They are really mean and hateful people
I literally don't even understand what you're talking about, the same happens in ALL minorities.

So it's really just a term that you can put on any situation even when it has nothing to do with Equality. Some how that's a good thing a label even when people don't want it it will be forced upon you matter what.
How can you think that a movement that fights for women rights & equality is annoying? Especially when we live in a world that is completely patriarchal at its core and women must face constant criticism & prejudice to leave their mark.
Furthermore I can't @ people on here saying this or that cause is more important than the other. Our society was shaped in a way to benefit a select group of individuals whether through religion or unfair laws. Minorities have been struggling to gain respect and acceptance for years and are only now starting to see a change. SOCIAL INJUSTICE COULD NEVER BE ANNOYING. The fact of the matter remains if you're not 1)White 2)Str8 3) Male, you're automatically stigmatized.

Some good people are feminists, some bad people are feminists.
Some good people believe in gay marriage, some bad people believe in gay marriage.
