Female Campus Reform reporter bullied at 'inclusive' feminist conference for being 'conservative'
Story here. Excerpt:
'Campus Reform's Katherine Timpf attended the National Young Feminist Leadership Conference (NYFLC) — an event which promised to be about “inclusivity” and welcoming everyone — only to be told that "conservative" women were not welcome.
Timpf attempted to ask students’ their opinions on feminism, but conference organizers made an announcement advising participants not to talk to Campus Reform because it was a “conservative” outlet.
The organizers also followed Timpf around the conference to interrupt her conversations with students to tell them the same thing.
...
“You guys aren’t wanted here,” a participant told the reporter after the warning.
“I thought this was supposed to be an inclusive thing, why am I being excluded because of where I work?” Timpf asked another organizer after another interruption.
...
Its “safe space policy” promised the event would be “structured around inclusivity … with a focus on representing various perspectives,” according to the event’s official website.
“We will not tolerate, allow, or encourage behavior which makes folks feel uncomfortable, threatened, or demoralized,” the policy continued.'

Those feminists are really bossy
Those feminists are really bossy.
feminists are not as tolerant
feminists are not as tolerant nor are they as "pro-choice" as they claim to be.
Their two main platforms are getting women into powerful positions in the workforce and easy access to abortion. A woman who values family and her reproduction abilities is counter-productive to both of these issues.
In order for a woman to achieve success in the workplace, she must inhibit her reproduction by using birth control and abortion. Feminist may say they support stay at home moms, but If women make up the majority of in-home caretakers in any capacity even temp or part-time, they cannot also have equal representation in powerful full-time workforce positions. If a gender rep's 70% in one category, it can only rep' 30% in the other. Although sometimes I don't think feminist do the math, as I see many primary caregiver-type moms by choice who claim to be feminists fighting for women to have 50/50 rep in high executive positions and politics. They do not relaize that by themselves taking time off, they are inhibiting that ratio from being mathematically possible.
Abortion is another issue. If abortion rates go down, clinics close down. This is the mathematics of business. Yet feminist want an abortion clinic on every corner. They think the government or public owes it to them. I describe myself as "pro-life" I have never protested early abortion, but I have an objection to funding it. The public does not owe women free and easy abortions. Feminist do not accept my choice to not fund their abortions, so they are not as "pro-choice" as they claim.
Here feminists are wanting their choice to be superior to anyone else's rights or "play God". They want the ability to over-ride our Constitution's "right to life" for unwanted babies. Not only do feminists disregard other people's rights, they also disregard ethics:

feminists
imho, make good little socialists. opm (other people's money) has always been 1st and foremost on their agenda. that's why they fit so well in the leftist's party. unfortunately for them, it makes for some 'questionable' bedfellows (muslims, marxists, commies and such). people who typically treat females a LOT worse than the bad, bad men of the western world who have created all the luxuries they so abhor.
you have to admit that feminists have had a lot of influence in our society. they have accomplished pretty much all they set out to accomplish, and more. that's the problem w/ most all once righteous causes in a free society. they don't know when to stop and smell the flowers along the way, thereby being able to see results, celebrate their win, and know when their cause becomes destructive to everything they value (marriage, families, children, mom, apple pie and so forth). if only they could step back and take a big whiff.
the radical feminists the public now sees daily (24/7 media) look like something between kooks and raving lunatics. they then show us how to combine that fail w/ their obvious hatred for good principles like real inclusiveness, truth, fairness, equality before the law, and all those ideals we should hold dear. the result is a morphed cause that is imploding in on itself as it always seeks more and more of opm. giving it different names like 3rd wave feminism only gives the last wave zombies a new group of young women/girls to try to con into believing their latest/greatest wave rants.
