I ask you, men and women of teh flood, why does third wave feminism exist? What exactly are the goals of third wave feminism? Many will state things like: "Muh patriarchy, muh misogyny, muh wage gap, muh victim blaming" Let's go over those things in order, shall we? Patriarchy: An unprovable assumption along the line of "the government actually bombed 9/11 and the 'chemtrails' arguments". You can't really prove that it does or does not exist. Like a conspiracy theorist, they pull together random sequences and mash them together into something subjectively tainted in order to validate their claims. Feminist will claim that gender roles are placed on them by the bogeyman patriarchy and that they're not natural, despite studies showing that boys and girls simply like different things: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xp0tg8_hjernevask-brainwashing-in-norway-english-part-1-the-gender-equality-paradox_news#.UW3WH8qRfNo Misogyny: Literally, the hatred of women. Now, when this argument started being thrown around, it's mostly whenever someone disagrees with something about their arguments. It really was a way to bully the person by socially tainting them with a mark that was undesirable. But now I think there really is becoming a hatred of women because of third wave feminism and the outrageous actions and claims being performed by the vocal groups. It's not at the point where people are targeting women on the streets, but a feeling of disdain towards what women are becoming. Now, it is also pretty worn and torn argument against an opponent. If a person isn't openly targeting women on the streets and performing hate crimes, then how could you accurately describe someone as a misogynist if you have no evidence other than that they disagree with you? Wage Gap: This has been dispelled time and time over, yet this seems to be an argument that they feel worth clinging to. It's been shown time and again that it is simply not true: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-505125_162-28246928/the-gender-pay-gap-is-a-complete-myth/ Thomas Sowell even discussed this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EK6Y1X_xa4 Victim Blaming: I'll admit that some people will state that the victim was at fault for the crime committed, there are examples in the image embedded above (not what you expected there harharhar). However, feminist and SJW alike seem to take advice on what could and should have been done to prevent what happened to the victim are apparently victim blaming. If a man leaves his car door unlocked in a bad neighborhood and has his radio stolen in the morning, I would tell him that he made a bad decision to leave his car door unlocked and that locking it could have prevented it. This is not justifying the crime, it is simply providing hindsight as to how you could have helped yourself not to be in a position where someone could take advantage of you. It does not imply that the action of theft is the fault of the victim, it never even implies that the radio would not have been stolen anyway, but this is what is seen as victim blaming and is "fought" against by feminist and SJWs. Now I ask you, why does feminism exist if this is the form that it chooses to take? What actual goals is it taking? It seems like they're just trying to scream loud enough that their lives are unfair and hoping that the government will intervene and shove the stepping stool over for them. If they actually wanted to better women, then they would start non-profit organizations to get women interested in STEM careers and politics. It would certainly have a better effect than forcing quotas onto things that force places to hire women, because this leads to under-qualified people entering the field. We only need to look at top level schools in the country to see why this fails. Top level schools get a certain number of black students that don't exactly meet the criteria for entry and this drags the whole lot of black students down and skews the statistics and really messes up the lives of a lot of bright students.
