<div dir="ltr"><div>Oh gee, this is not about movies at all. ...<br><br>Well, I was going to respond before there was more
said, but macegr, it's probably good to note that if you're a man
telling a woman/transgender/genderqueer person that they are wrong about
what feminism is and isn't, then you should take a step back and think
about the situation before really diving in further. :/ I don't want
this to go off into crazy angry places because I have seen you be pretty
reasonable on this list before & don't think you are really
ill-intent.<br>
<br></div><div>tl;dr Different women actually have different opinions on
the topic, but generally if you are demanding to be able to use the
label and go as far as telling other women that they're wrong about
their own movement and start to re-define what their movement is about [e.x. we say it's about women's liberation; you may want to say it's about something else], you've
demonstrated a good reason why you shouldn't be able to.<br></div><div><br></div>ON ANOTHER NOTE, MOVIES! I LOVE ALL OF THOSE
MOVIES. MANY OF THOSE MOVIES ARE MY FAVORITE. Alien is awesome, even
though it gives me nightmares like crazy, so that should probably be
played BEFORE the anime. :D</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Jul 27, 2013 at 6:08 PM, macegr <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:garrettmace@gmail.com" target="_blank">garrettmace@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Feminism IS NOT about equality, it is about LIBERATION. Equality would mean that feminists want to adopt the same abuse of power as males have within the patriarchy. I'd like to think no feminist wants women to rape and murder as much as men. Plus, I'm highly suspicious of any man that tells an actual woman what feminism is about. This is exactly why men should have no power within the liberation of women, they quickly fall into negative social traits such as telling women what to do and taking over their movements.<br>
<br></div>No one in their right mind would tell black people that they have to include and give power to whites within the black liberation movement. So why do you think it is okay to do that to women? Women are constantly told they have to include men, and that hasn't helped us one bit. Men always grab for the attention and try to "teach" us - as if they could truly understand our experience.<br>
<br></div>Yea, a lot of women have done shitty stuff to other women. There is a whole theory explaining why this happens, I can recommend some feminist literature to you (I don't have time to explain it all in an email). But just because women do shitty things to other women doesn't mean women are the oppressor class. <br>
<br></div>Also, I'd greatly appreciate if you referred to us as WOMEN, and not females. We are human beings, not animals. <br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Jul 27, 2013 at 5:54 PM, macegr <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:garrettmace@gmail.com" target="_blank">garrettmace@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br></div>Hi, are there any other feminists, male or female who would like to have a happy feminist style film night featuring the works of Hayao Miyazaki? <br><br>I get very disturbed when I see the current cinema out there, I'd like to focus on stuff that isn't a total downer.<br>
<br></div>How do you go about doing the screening? Maybe the vegan hackers and the cosplay people can theme it so that there is hayao miyazaki sushi and bento foods as well .<br></div>
