Apparently my old About Me was offensive - my apologies.
My name is 'Jack'. I am ageless, sexless, genderless, raceless, and faceless. So many of you have denied me the right to an opinion because of who or what I am, and that goes against the very 'feel-good basis' that you claim feminism has. You are judgemental. It's okay - EVERYONE is, despite wanting or not wanting to be.
People have been saying "Anti-Feminist" is offensive - apparently everything I say personally offends everyone - so I'm stating my official position here - I'm Post-Feminist with Anti-Feminist tendencies. I'm opposed to modern radical feminists who think that I must be wrong because I do not agree with them. Honestly? Think about it.
Here are the rules. Insult me? I ignore you. Try to tell me feminism is about men? Think again. FEMinism is a movement by and about women, not men. Try and tell me my opinions are wrong? Uh, I don't deny you the right to an opinion. If you're denying me my basic human right to an opinion, you're just being a hypocrite. And your words are no good here.
If you don't judge me, I won't personally judge you. Ask me a question. Send a little debate my way on why you think you're right (but not necessarily why I'm wrong - again, I'm not unintelligent). I'll get back to you shortly and we really could start having good conversations.
Post feminism/anti feminism/anti feminist extremist blogs spawned from my blog - nine and counting. Apparently, I'm not alone in my beliefs.

Daisy Vo: "Feminism isn't about putting down any woman."
Yet, if you’re a conservative woman who disagrees with us, we hate you.
I often wonder what leftist feminists’ problem with non-left women is. They say they’re for the welfare of all women, but when a female comes out as pro-life, traditional, conservative, anti-third wave, or anything else that…
here’s something someone asked me today.
i know what i think personally, but i’d like some imput. what do you guys think about men being the stay-at-home parents for the first few years? women are so eager to jump into the workforce and make stable careers, that the father is usually the parent left. guys? girls?
Daisy Vo: Victim.
I have never felt victimized by “patriarchal America”. I mean, I’m strong, educated, employed, and pretty much independent. To a lot of these people who like using “privilege” in their arguments, I’ve been disadvantaged by both “male privilege” and “white privilege”, but guess what? I am still a…
reblogging you for the second time tonight, heh
i love this too because i come from the other side of the ‘white privilege’ board. because i’m white, people act like i have some kind of privilege, that my life is made so much easier by this. it’s far from it, really. i can’t afford school most semesters, i’m losing my house, i can’t get a job in this market, i’m essentially screwed. daisy has drive - has accomplished things. i have slightly less drive, o a few reasons - and i’ve accomplished less, i’m not ashamed to say. it’s about your ambition, not about oppression or ‘society’s limits’. i’ve never felt oppressed by the patriarchy, it just means that i have something to prove.
Daisy Vo: The stereotype that anti-feminists want women to be weak.
That is absolutely untrue. I am anti-feminist, and I am proud to say that I’m one of the most powerful women I personally know of. Most importantly, I don’t want women to be treated like doormats. I want women to aspire to become successful and elevate themselves without attempting to tear down…
and this, my friends, is why i love missdaisyvo
FUCK
this is exactly what goes through my head when i get a hate message from any of these feminazis or third wave extremist feminists, i get so tired of people acting like because i’m not waving the feminist flag, that i hate women and want them all to be nothing. jeez. thank you again missdaisyvo for, you know, finding the words i can’t find when i’m trying to say these kinds of things.
no hate messages in the last three days
/pleased
/not hiding it at all.
I’m taking an American Studies class right now that’s focusing on comic books, detective stories, and superheroes in Pop Culture. I’m taking it because I went into the Women’s Studies class, said one thing about being post-feminist in one of those nerdy introduce-yourselves-in-order-around-the-room things, and practically got beat out of the classroom with a textbook. Honestly? Shouldn’t having someone with a different opinion make the class interesting? Regardless, I love my American Studies class. One of my textbooks is the graphic novelization of Watchmen, so I will probably ace this class, no problem. Someone brought up an interesting note when I was discussing the difference in classes with them - two points, actually. The first being this - not the ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ when it comes to women doing traditionally masculine things or men doing traditionally feminine things (or having those interests), but how much it matters to those around us.
If a guy is into feminine stuff - manicures, shopping, gossip girl, whatever it is now - he usually keeps it to himself. And then - nobody cares. He can like whatever the hell he wants to like. He keeps those things private.
Now, if a girl is into comic books or super heroes - in most cases, she’ll tell anyone who will listen. Girls understand that these things are quirky, not wrong. But will people care? Not at all. It’s not as much of a big thing as a man that likes girly things. However, men partaking in feminine activities is at a high right now - men getting the mani-pedi and going to see Romantic Comedies is not an unusual occurence. What might happen if men stopped keeping these things so private? Do you think if a guy honestly told people he got a manicure because he could destress and wanted his hands to not be disgusting, that people would make fun of him? Perhaps. But those kinds of bullies usually grow out of it around middle school, or belong in after-school specials. The times, they are a changing. That conversation is still happening. What’s your take on it all?
Second point? Was it funny that I walked into a Women’s studies class and it was entirely women, and they basically hate-mailed me out the door? Was it relieving knowing that my other option was comic books, one where I could bury my nose in a book and only have to occasionally answer who my favorite comic book hero was? Uhm, duh.
Wow. I can easily and honestly say that feminists are some of the most close-minded and hatemongering people I've ever...
The negative backlash I got from my last post was amazing. I doubt even half of you actually bothered to read my post, let alone antifeminism’s response.
I find it pretty funny that every single one of you still dwells on privilege as the main issue here, which it is not.
I will say this once,…

WHY DID WE NOT KNOW ABOUT EACH OTHER BEFORE
Just because I'm white and female, does NOT mean I am privileged. People come from all walks of life, and have different opinions to voice. None of them understand this, and they should. They think they deserve everything and can ignore everybody else because they are "oppressed". Well, guess what. You don't deserve shit until you can act like respectable human beings and -ACKNOWLEDGE OTHERS-. If anything, all of this negative backlash has taught me that all of you "feminists" are the same... full of asinine remarks about ~WHITE PRIVILEGE~(which is funny, because most of you are also white...tehehe) and hatred towards anybody who disagrees.
THANK YOU AGAIN
I hate that feminists stand up on their organic biodegradable soap boxes and shout about tolerance and rights to feelings and opinions, and then don’t tolerate us or our opinions. What theeee fuck.
Mutual respect is a big thing - with me, and with planet earth. So many people believe they ‘deserve’ things. Nobody deserves anything. If you respect me, I will respect you. But don’t come around telling me I’m a bigot and I have no intelligence and I’m a woman-hater and then expect me to not be offended by it. And speaking of being offensive, isn’t that some of what they’re fighting against?
I feels the same. Very much the same. I started this blog believing that I could have intelligent debate with feminists and others - all I got were intolerant attacks and insults. How does that make sense?
I dont know what people don’t understand.
About not being rude.
No, I don’t put on a holier-than-though attitude or anything. I am me. I speak my mind. That’s all. If I was so great, I’d have something better to speak my mind on than tumblr. I just have an opinion.
No, my life is not easy. Yes, I know which box to choose, but does that mean my life is any easier than yours? No. I know my identity. If you don’t, that’s fine. There’s a whole community, as you know. But I choose to not specifically state my gender on my blog because people have made it an issue in the past. I’m not doing it to be a bitch, I’m not doing it to get out of anything, and as a few of you have accused, I’m certainly NOT doing it to insult anybody. I’m doing it because it gives me a more neutral base on which to state my opinion. That’s all.
Also, I am not a feminist. I just know how the world works, what I feel, and I know that feminism - according to me and many others - is flat. But if you want to go ahead and attack me for that, by all means - feminists, LGBT community, empathetic men, all of you who claim to fight for equality and rights - go for it. Shame on me for having an opinion that isn’t even insulting in the slightest. Off with my head.
With that I think it’s all based on personal opinion - I personally wouldn’t don a headdress because A: It might have some kind of serious significance (Native American headdresses dont btw - they were just worn for war, and the ones most people see were only worn by about a dozen or so tribes. Just saying, I’m a Native American history nerd) and B: Because it would look ridiculous on me. If it’s something that does have a serious spiritual significance? Perhaps the person doesn’t recognize it. If it’s something purely cultual - dreads, for example - it’s just a freaking hairstyle. It all depends on what one might find offensive. I don’t find a white guy with dreads offensive, but if some silly white girl puts on a special, ceremonial gown or something because she thinks it’s pretty - it all depends on who else might take offense to it.
So, in about a week.
In about a week, I will introduce Tumblr to a new blog, either called “fucknofeminists” or “STFUFeminists”. There, I will slam every person who complains about “male privilege” and cries about inane things like how Palin is a bad woman (even though I don’t like her) or how Julian Assange is a rapist, etc.
I will complain about feminists who complain about everything else.
Be prepared for an onslaught of inbox messages and reblogs claiming you’re an opressive, over-privileged bitch. And hate. Lots of hate. Funny, for a movement and a group of people that claim to support rights and opinions, they sure don’t like it when someone doesn’t agree with them. It’s going to be a big hypocrisy party. Once it dies down a little, though, it’s worth it. I love mine now, I get a bit of intelligent debate and I get to laugh at people who seem to think I’m only not offensive when my picture is of a cute cartoon octopus. Way to go, humanity.
