Why is it 3rd wave Feminists never create anything - just demand that others (mostly men) do all the work for them - then they take the credit?
... and that is so deeply representative of current Feminism.
Feminist has a business idea that counters the current wisdom, that everyone else says will lead to disaster, but rather than invest her own money into a capital venture, which will lead to losing it if she's wrong, she just demands everyone else pay for it and if they don't, it's proof they hate all women everywhere.
Don't talk about it, don't tell others to do it, do it yourself.
But they never will.
Oh... maybe that's not true... what about the movie "Felt"? The one where a female serial killer mutilates and murders her way to the applause of the Feminist audience?
Because killing men is a-ok (but if you say feminism is man-hating, that's misogyny, you rapist!)
Notice how all of the Feminists there whine that Hollywood should make movies they like for them. None of them are interested in making it themselves, not even contributing via IndieGogo or writing a script.
At least the makers of "Felt" put their money where their mouth was - well, that, and taxpayers money!
And if you try to explain that they can actually make movies - there are ways to do it cheaply, to market it and distribute it without cinemas - they just attack you. I had one commentator saying I was the wrong sex to give them advice.
Remember when Feminism was opposed to sexism? I think of all the women who were strong, independent and honest, who marched at my side - and they are all gone now, replaced by this pack of giant babies.

"Women experience anxiety and depression at higher rates than men"?
Feminists do not experience compassion for men, but they will make a pretence of it if they can twist attention back on themselves.
"Women experience anxiety and depression at higher rates than men"?
I doubt it - there's no source for your assertion here anyway.
Men are taught to be stoic. To work through the pain. To sacrifice themselves for women, and die quietly without a fuss.
Clem, the professional Damsel In Distress, loves to laugh at male tears, so it's not like they are going to open up about their pain to her kind.
But how can you objectively measure depression? Well, it seems to me that - until we have mind readers - the only way to do it is to look at the people who are so depressed that they kill themselves.
You have one guess which group that will be.
"Unfortunately, like many young girls, I was also extremely skilled at hiding it."
So we've established that nobody could reasonably have guessed that you had it. This will be important later when you blame other people for... not guessing that you had it.
Because you're emotionally abusive, Clem. It's what you do for a living. Lash out and then play victim when anyone responds to your attacks.
" In less than three months, I lost 30 kilograms - but for a formerly chubby girl, this was a state of being that was treated by those around me like an accomplishment instead of a warning sign. "
Like it would be for a boy. It would be a sign that you were being treated as someone your age, not a helpless infant.
"Nor did anyone notice later when I began to purge the small amounts of food I allowed myself to eat."
Again, pushing responsibility for your actions onto others. You are never to blame. Damn that evil Patriarchy, it's mind-control rays are everywhere!
"Beyond Blue notes that women experience anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder at higher rates than men."
Do they? Then why haven't you linked your reference?
Is it possible the result is self-reported and unreliable?
That women know they will get sympathy for complaining, whereas men will be laughed at by people like you?
"Our susceptibility to mental illness is exacerbated by a range of factors, including pregnancy (up to 10 per cent of all pregnant women will experience depression or anxiety)"
Yes, the change to one's life as a result of having children can cause depression - in men as well - but you can't be bothered looking into how often that occurs - the lives of men mean nothing to you.
" the burden of care and emotional labour that is left to women"
I have to laugh at that one. You think men don't have to pay an emotional price in their dealings with women? You think lesbians don't have to emotionally support their partners?
Clem, the most terrible emotional burden I can imagine would be to be your partner. I pity the fool.
"It is not unreasonable to suggest that the gender inequality"
Which you have failed to prove exists in anything BUT YOUR FAVOUR..
"that informs the society we live in"
What, the Patriarchy sends out little memos? Don't forget to fail to notice that a girl is hiding an eating disorder, despite her saying she did it very skillfully?
"is also responsible for provoking mental unrest in women"
Oh right - the Patriarchy is responsible for your madness. If only you and other feminists would pack your bags and go elsewhere and set up your own State, AND STOP FUCKING BLAMING EVERYTHING ON MEN.
"particularly in light of how it also teaches us to question our own interpretation of events"
Yes. Questioning your interpretation is what sane people do. Blindly believing gets you killed.
If only he had questioned his love of filming on train tracks, where trains run, big trains, that squish humans.
"And yet, whenever discussions of mental health care are raised, they seem to predominantly deal with how mental illness affects men. "
Bullshit. It's only been recently that attention has been paid to men, somewhat belatedly as almost all suicides are men, almost all homeless are men, mental illness requiring institutionalisation is mostly men, violent outbursts resulting in prison - men - schizophrenizia - men - autism - men - and so on and so on.
But like any good Feminist, Clem cannot stand any oxygen being wafted towards a man. It's all hers. She deserves every last gulp.
"But women are three times more likely than men to attempt to end their lives by suicide"
As yourself this: how many times can you attempt suicide, versus how many times can you succeed in it? If you just want attention, you could attempt suicide a thousand times. Men don't attempt. They DO.
"Nor is there any understanding of the concept of 'slow suicide', such as the attempt to literally erase one's existence that comes from starving yourself into invisibility or self-harming by use of methods such as secret cutting - both methods of self abuse that are predominantly practiced by women."
As opposed to the ones that men use - drinking and drugs. For which they are seen as weak, they are blamed, they are imprisoned.

"the devastating rate of suicide in young gay men marginalised by homophobia"
No reference - again - just an assertion that suicide rates are caused by Patriarchy.
" it is still hesitant and even hostile at times in regard to discussing the range of abuses that tear away at the mental fabric of young women - like sexual violence"
which occurs more often in lesbian relationships, and yet you will always blame it one men.
" street harassment"
A moral panic whipped up by Feminists - they never seem able to find recorded evidence of this 'epidemic'.
" the marketing of sexualisation"
Ok, so you are just whining about everything under the sun now - you have a list of everything you hate about men and are now trying to connect it all to mental illness...
But here's the thing, you horrible bitch, human beings ARE sexual. We wouldn't exist if we weren't.
When you complain about sexuality, what you really mean is that you despise male desire - a problem with a ready cure.
LEAVE US.
Leave our society, and you won't have to deal with our yearnings. Fuck right off there, Clem. Take your anti-male cultists and live in a commune on an island.
Feminists often claim that women get PTSD more than men - despite men being overwhelmingly the ones to face trauma, especially in wartime. But what sort of PTSD? the sort that is an inconvenience? Or that can cause you to blow your brains out?
Feminists claim that PTSD can be caused by having someone disagree with them on twitter - and it is far more serious than for a soldier who has had to deal with watching his friends bleed out from an IED, or seeing their corpses dragged behind trucks, or finding their heads separated by blunt knives from their necks by ISIS....
Ask yourself - is what Feminists say true? If so - why the hell are they on the internet in the first place?
Does it adore the manipulative ploy of the fainting couch?
"A group of women are tackling online abuse by naming and shaming "trolls" in a twitter campaign.... Earlier this week, a man lost his job after he wrote a sexually explicit post on writer and prominent feminist Clementine Ford's Facebook wall." (source)
Who is she? Someone who loves vile language:
"Sydney author and columnist, Kerri Sackville, is leading the charge against the trolling[sic] and says she is sick of seeing women maliciously threatened online."
The man she had fired was responding to her topless photo and her sexually explicit comments and the fact she calls other people sluts (and worse) all the time. Look at what she calls Miranda Devine.
No mention of that in the ABC, of course. Feminists can do no wrong.
She's painted as a damsel in distress. Oh woe! Where is her fainting couch? Someone has called her a rude word - a word she calls other people all the time.
She is a fanatical feminist - and feminists hold that that word is positive, that slutty behaviour is a good thing, that home wrecking should be celebrated (c.f. Laci Green).
So let's summarise - she has no problem calling other women sluts, she belongs to a movement that claims being a total slut is fantastic, she allies herself with people who boast about destroying homes, she publicly uses offensive language at Sunrise with impunity - and she is your hero, ABC?
I remember when you had a reputation for objectivity, for not being politically partisan. How far you have fallen.
Oh, one last thing - a troll is someone who just wants to stir up the ants and see them run about.
You have no evidence these people are insincere - all you know is that they express opinions feminists don't like.
troll One who posts a deliberately provocative message to a newsgroup or message board with the intention of causing maximum disruption and argument
Just snorkelling in an entire lagoon of male tears.
Clementine Ford's fantasy is to swim through rivers of male tears - the tears of old men abandoned and homeless, without care just because of them being born with the wrong sex, and of young boys having their throats cut or their bodies burnt alive by Boko Haram while the world only worries about the few schoolgirls who were kidnapped.
This is the face of Feminism. Smug, privileged, infinitely entitled and callous.
And before you say not all feminists are like that - there are no feminists who object to her. She has a free pass to do this stuff, and she does it over and over.
How does she get away with it?
Because Patriarchy Theory holds that all the woes of the world are caused by men, and so you can do any atrocity you wish to them, and they deserve it. You can even talk about putting them in concentration camps. That's not a problem.
But when people object to that? Why that is reported to the bloody United Nations as cyber-violence. It is reported as violence as bad as physical violence to simply say "NO, you are wrong", and it is reported as violence to all women, everywhere, as hatred of all women, everywhere.
Feminism is evil. Feminism is a rich, privileged woman swimming through the tears of the dying. Feminism is the enemy, and we will oppose it, and we will see the end of it, mark my words.
