Anti-feminist women.

Nope. I just want you to explain why a woman who says she isn't a feminist is automatically more intelligent.

Wondering whether to take bait or not...

So what you're saying is a woman who supports a movement that encourages equality between men and women is inferior to you? She's less intelligent?

This all says a lot more about your inferiority complex than feminism.

That's probably due to the fact that it is the first world they live in. People generally feel passionately about things that affect them in their own lives. Those things are ****ty and insignificant in the great big picture that makes up this planet, but when they affect you ​directly they are worth fighting against.

Whenever I come across a woman who actively DOESN'T identify as a feminist, I immediately find her more interesting and anticipate that she is more intelligent and more informed than the average woman.

I didn't say such a woman is, but I am inclined to believe she probably will be more intelligent than the average woman. Feminism today is a way for women to feel they've done their bit simply by identifying with it and occasionally retweeting feminist tweets on Twitter, posting posts on Facebook, or starting threads on TSR. The vast majority of women who identify as feminists have little to no understanding of the history of the movement, of the contexts of the statistics being thrown about, of anything more than superficial platitudes and vague notions of equality and social justice. It's fashionable and trendy, and proverbial wisdom is right on the money here in stating that the whole problem with the world is that the fools say too much and the wise too little. A woman that actively opposes this strong current must be doing so for a reason, and the most probable reason is that she has objections to the movement's intentions, methods and/or results, which not only takes great intellectual courage (because these women are so often shamed by feminist women on social media and the like) but it also implies a greater depth of understanding than is likely to be found in the average feminist woman. For those reasons I am inclined to believe women who actively disassociate themselves from the label are likely to be more intelligent, on average, than those who associate with it.

So if that wasn't what you were saying here, what were you saying?

For one, I enjoyed the little dig about starting threads on TSR, I will now point out that my undergraduate dissertation was a 20,000 word essay on a feminist subject so I assure you I have a genuine interest in the movement(s).

Feminism is bull**** and you don't care about mens problems.

Feminism is bull****

NOPE this is definitely the quote.

Don't edit now darling.

Same old tactics from you I see Burkhead, either you're trying to catch me out to prove your snidey little point here or you're just up to you're usual GASLIGHTING technique.

I fail to see how this is possible having read your 'About Me' on your profile, which states:

Clear as the light of day. I mean you're obviously not seeing why this is deplorable and completely ridiculous tbh.

Or they may just be a simple minded reactionary.

Ignorance and simple mindedness exists on all sides of politics.
