He never qualified it, never caveated it, never explained what aspects or strains of Feminism should be investigated and ignored. Again he did this on national TV. A LOT of modern Third/Fourth wave Feminism that is out there and visible is highly toxic. Its central message is that White CIS Gendered men are the enemy and that they are oppressors. Of Women, of minorities, of trans people as well. Now this may not be visible is, or as visible, to older white men who do not live in the digital world. But it is visible to young men who are inhabiting the digital world almost constantly now. How toxic this strain of feminism, and I use the word strain because it is a virus, can be seen in the way that it treats REAL feminists like Camille Paglia, Germaine Greer or Julie Bindell. Hell even Margaret Atwood has been getting it in the neck recently from these Third/Fourth wave feminists. And this is the feminism that young men need? Blindboy needed to be very clear and very careful when he delivered the message that young men needing feminism. He was neither. And that is why he is getting criticism for it.

I only asked for a clarification on the agenda, as you cant give one instance as proof of an agenda. By definition there has to be more than one instance. So either there is an alternate agenda you havent explained that the instance in question is proof of, or there is more evidence; which i am curious of and would like you to share!

I don't have the time but im positive there's loads of examples of him pushing the globalist friendly cultural marxist agenda. No doubt he's regurgitating some ****e he got fed in college. If i'm not mistaken, I heard the chancer is a lecturer in media studies or something similarly bull**** in a limerick college/university? It would certainly explain the cultural marxism zealotry, Irish academia is stuffed to the rafters with these parasites. Here's another inconsistency; he rails against "capitalism" but he sure doesn't mind the money he makes in said system does he? If he feels so strongly about the evils of capitalism etc why doesn't he move to north korea? Too many capitalist comforts here perhaps? Anyways got work to do Im out.

Danjamin1 wrote: » This is such a funny sticking point people have about his "dangerous" ideas because his explanation of how men need feminism on his podcast doesn't sound like he's saying that at all - it sounds like he's misusing the word feminism in this context. When he describes how he thinks men need feminism he's talking about the opinion that men should act like men & not bear any effeminate traits. That's not feminism.

Kingp35 wrote: » You're spot on here. Most of the people complaining about the fact he said men need feminism have not actually listened to the podcast to get the full context of what he is saying. His opinion is essentially that men should not be afraid to show their emotions and that bottling up our emotions is detrimental to our mental health. Of course you can choose not to agree with this if you wish but I think people are seeing the word feminism and instantly equating blindboy with the militant feminists who think all white cis males are evil. I honestly can't take the opinion of anyone who hasn't listened to the podcasts seriously as they have no idea of the context in which he's speaking.

weldoninhio wrote: » He never mentioned feeling down at all in his tweet. Jesus, the Dave Chambers Fan Club really do only see what they want. I notice no one has ever replied to my post questioning how he went from talking about his "anxiety and agoraphobia" in his early days talking about mental health, but now talks about his "deep dark depression". Much like Bressie, his former mental health issues seem to be getting worse and worse the further into the past they get. :rolleyes:

Danjamin1 wrote: » Why would anyone address something as personal as his experience of mental health issues in order to denounce them? Is he not allowed to have suffered from Anxiety & Agoraphobia as well as depression? Sure, perhaps there's some exaggeration going on but who of us could possibly know that? I don't think it's something that needs to be undermined.
