FYI, Joss Whedon identifies as a feminist himself.
I always thought of Joss that way and as a humanist. I'm unaware of the kerfuffle around any issue with feminists targeting Joss.

You have a lot of hate in you, young Padawan.

A gentleman will not insult me, and no man not a gentleman can insult me.

I respect feminism in its traditional meaning: equality, opportunity, and fairness. It was and remains necessary in culture. However, this postmodern feminist movement, the one spearheaded by social justice warriors eager to write a poorly-argued puff piece for attention, that crucified Joss Whedon among others, someone whom everyone knows to be a feminist champion, is hardly about that at all. It's about sewing division and mistrust and absolutely working to poison gender relations. It's nauseating, abhorrent and completely perverting what feminism is supposed to be.

"evil feminists"
"Feminists are hateful"
LoL
It is not funny. It is sad. Feminists today are hateful. They target anyone with a Y chromosome.

If you hate feminism as an idea, you obviously hate women.
Feminists hate men and women.
Uh oh spaghettios - Zack Snyder, David Goyer, Chris Terrio, Bryan Singer (2016)

If you hate feminism as an idea, you obviously hate women.
Agreed. People who hate feminism are the very reason we need feminism in the first place.
Can't stop the signal.

I dont get the hate of feminism on the internet. If you hate feminism as an idea, you obviously hate women.
And no, just because you know ONE feminist that said something stupid doesnt mean every other feminist has the same opinion.
What I really wonder: can any of these "I hate feminism" types even name three important historical feminists ? I doubt they can. Thats how little they actually know about the field.

The Internet is meaningless in this case. No one cares what trolls think. Joss has delivered three of the greatest films in genre history (Serenity, Avengers, AoU) and that's all that matters. It's like winning a World Series or Super Bowl and then getting jeered the following season in opposing stadiums. Who really cares? Marvel and Joss are above such things. A large majority love his work.

specific laid out reasons
and
illogical reasoning
don't exactly belong together.
It doesn't matter anyway, I'm not arguing about their reasons, I'm against their methods.

This hate pile-on plus death threats phenomenon is hardly exclusive to feminism. It's all over the damn internet, it's indeed why I hate the internet myself but don't come and claim it's only feminists who do it cause I call beep on that.
There are retarded trolls everywhere in the world, in every class and group of people apparently and this hate phenomenon on the internet is just proving b68it

We are animals. We are aggressive. And those suppressing their aggression the most will unleash it in other, strange ways
Repression doesn't work, but aggression doesn't have to stay, either. Remaining silent in the face of oppression and bias is like giving a tacit agreement that what is happening is ok. People get aggressive when they feel threatened. So, those speaking out need to do so without hate themselves, without attacking.

Feminists are hateful.
Lumping them altogether is part of the same issue you speak out against.
It's essentially tribalism and it's perhaps unavoidable with people (if history is any guide).
Feminists can be hateful, just as Christians can - just as a mail carrier can - just as a green eyed person can - these are only groups because we need to catalog things in our mind to keep track, put a label on it & file it away for future reference.
The problem isn't a particular group, but just people in general. We are animals. We are aggressive. And those suppressing their aggression the most will unleash it in other, strange ways. Just like a sexually repressed person will develop strange sexual fetishes, wires get crossed.

You CAN be a feminist and not hate men.
Agreed! Feminism is not about hating or about trying to be superior to anyone. It's a call for equal rights for all - men, women, and others, nothing more. Some of that other stuff is just warped and has nothing to do with feminism.

ladive, you (and a very small few) are the voice of reason on this crazy board

The people crying sexist are insane. Don't try to figure it out. Let them dig their holes.
I'd hate to be an actual feminist these days with all these bullying impostors. Believe it or not, there are still some good ones out there that haven't succumbed to the dementia. But they don't yell as loud so it's sometimes hard to find them.
You CAN be a feminist and not hate men.
