> So only 7 percent of the prison population is women, and _they’re_ the ones disproportionately affected??

> “Feminism” is like “Republican” or “Christian” in that there’s not one thing that everyone who claims that label can all agree on. Basically, you are a feminist if you say you are, and unfortunately a lot of whackos claim that label. You can be anti-whacko without being anti-feminist though.

White women in America are the most privileged people ever to have existed. Feminists are _forced_ to make up stuff to feel oppressed about.

Take this, for example: [Why Women Need To Start Asking Men Out…Because Men Have No Balls](http://elitedaily.com/dating/men-pssies-women-need-start-asking-men-dates/746965/)

> There’s no door-holding, no hand-holding and definitely no free drinks. There’s no taking off hats or courting through invitations. There are no smooth moves, no jackets to dinner. There are no flowers, no tables by candlelight. But, most importantly, there are no dates.

> If you’re a single woman, you probably envisioned your twenties as a roaring social scene full of expensive dinners and lavish nights out. You probably thought you’d have a boyfriend, or at least a few dates a week.
> 
> You probably thought you’d meet a guy at a bar and that he’d ask for your number. You probably thought you’d be on your way to dinner next week.
> 
> After too many nights spent in bars and one too many phone numbers given out, you’ve probably realized the sad truth of the situation. You’re not going on any dates or being courted in any type of manner because, unfortunately, men these days are cowards.

The author goes on to bash men for our numerous failings.

But the article itself raises an interesting point: who, or what, makes men?
