This is fenatiscism pure and simple. And fenatics like this are those who lead cults, which this sounds a lot like. The world has enough trouble without these idiots spewing this garbage under the guise of feminism. Don't get me wrong I'm all for feminism and equal rights for both trans and cis women in the workplace and beyond. But garbage like this stands to hurt the cause, not promote it.

Amen!
Lol, I think I would get the heat with those people since I'm FTM.
But I'm glad I don't know them.

Misandrist genocidal Hitleresque rubbish.

My thoughts.  I couldn't take these people seriously.

I say ignore it/let it die.

There have always been these fringe groups that want to exterminate and/or reduce human life on Earth. One of them is VHEMt which stands for Voluntary Human Extiction Movement. Basically a group of people who want to remove human population through attrition.

I can't say that less overpopulation would be a bad thing, but these people are extreme.

Well I'm glad the folks at Susan's Place definitely agree this hashtag movement is disgusting. To be fair, it only took some feminists stating that gay men are, by virtue of the simple fact that they're into having sex with only men, even more misogynistic than straight men, to make me feel uncomfortable with regarding feminism positively (as I pretty much identify as a gay man), and these sort of things are just ways in which they keep shooting themselves in the foot.

This honestly is terrifying. The fact that there's nothing we can really do about it is even more terrifying. If I see this anywhere on the web being supported, I'll do my best to bring reason to these people's minds so that they can pull their heads out of their asses and see the truth. She's brainwashed (not literally) Every single one of her followers. They're being taught these things and if it goes on for too long, their children and children's children will mindlessly become like their parents because at that point they won't know any better. That's how it works with every religion. They follow what's taught to them until they decide to break away after gaining more accurate knowledge from a perspective outside of the one they're being taught.

All I can say is that, they are NOT real feminist. Feminist are there in the name of sisterhood, to help one another out.

She identifies herself as a feminist. She aggressively wears the label. She, whether other feminists like it or not, is in the movement. We can invoke No True Scotsman all we like but that doesn't change that there are horrible people in the movement and they are alienating what would have been potential allies from their cause. Even casual ironic ~*misandry*~ has made me give up on the movement entirely. (Spare me the dictionary definition of feminism. I've seen it.)

Instead of dismissing them as harmless, decent feminists should be confronting people like this. If only because they're harming YOUR movement.

Funny how people tend to say "that's fascist!", "that's like Hitler!" or "that's communist!", none of which has anything to do with the subject (an irrational person demanding death or castration for an entire class of people).

What those phrases do have in common, however, is what is known as "appeal to emotion", which is a logical fallacy.

Maybe I should've spelled it "phallacy"  ...at any rate it illustrates a similar emotion-based thought process, rather than reasoning things out. Fairly common in the world of humans, I'm afraid.
