A 2011 essay on the importance of intersectionality in feminism is here: http://tigerbeatdown.com/2011/10/10/my-feminism-will-be-inte...
Interesting - got any pointers? Because I've never seen any feminist who didn't assume omnipresent male power. Feminism's filled with activists who argue, for example, that men don't get to complain about gender-related issues because other men are running the country, or who refuse to listen to men's experiences because the patriarchy has already told them how men experience the world. No feminist ever seems to challenge them on this.
I've even seen various feminists argue that because "the patriarchy hurts men too", anyone who calls out feminists who help perpetuate said patriarchal ideas is a concern troll trying to discredit feminists - who by definition are the ones really trying to help men. No feminist questions that either.

I don't understand why a moderator took this off the front page without reading the article first. Can someone explain this?
This post was flagged by users. No moderator touched it.
Articles with a lot of flags will disappear from the front page.
in this case dang/kogir or whoever is a mod should make an exception and unflag this article as it is clear that those who flagged this article are 1) people who didn't even READ the article and/or 2) are femnazis with less tolerance than ...you can imagine what I mean.
Definitely the un-ironic use of the term "femnazi" made your comment much more persuasive.
This should be upvoted so much that it stays on #1 for a couple of days.
What strikes me most is that if a man would write this, he would be shitstormed into oblivion.

The author should think about taking some classes. The "omnipresent male power" argument is a staple of myths around radical feminism.
Most contemporary feminisms take into account historicity and contingency in power relationships, as do almost all of critical theory and queer theory. People need to get their asses off of their heads and of the myths that are injected into poorly formulated beginner-level feminist arguments.
