"Feminism isn't over ,it didn't fail,but something new must happen-Riot Grrrl.Feminism taught us to think more carefully and see the oppression but is now constantly put on the defensive and made reactive.Riot Grrrl is offensive and active-it feels no guilt,gives no justification.Constraint and sexist attitudes can just f--- off.Next time a bloke feels your ****,patronizes you,slags off your body-generally treats you like ****-forget the moral high ground,forget he's been instilled with patriarchy and is a victim too,forget rationale and debate.Just deck the bas----."

No, because men shouldn't be allowed to hit girls because that's not nice, remember? Women are better than men because they say so; we don't need any other justification. That is the epitome of the most glorious of "feminist" thoughts and rhetoric, and BY GOD we should follow it to the letter!
You want equality (with certain benefits for women) after all, don't you? If you don't, you're a misogynist.

When you switch on the news and you listen to a story about an innocent household being struck in their house, do you feel safe? If this make you think then you should pay an appearance below https://tr.im/8PJUS , a website that will certainly show you the best ways to safeguard you and your family.
Patriot Self Defense system achieves success for two key factors. The initial is that it use simple actions integrated from all the very best battling designs out there. The 2nd is that the makers of this program really did not stop there, they took these moves right into the laboratory and ran all sorts of clinical examinations to collect as much data as possible prior to readying to function to assess this data and put together a scientific industrialized self-defense system that rather frankly changes the industry.
Feel safe with Patriot Self Defense

What are you talking about, women aren't going to go around "decking" men, 10 years from now or 100 years from now, that is just crazy talk. You don't know what is feminism.
Edit: So if a book is categorized under feminism, you have to agree with whatever the book says and believe it wholly to be what feminism is all about? Haven't you ever read books that reviewed other books, or just have the common sense to not believe everything you read as a fact? Duh, you haven't.
Edit: I guess you're a crank then, according to an answer below me. That explains it all.

Hey, Up your nose, you don't seem to know much about feminist history - otherwise, you'd know names like Lenore Walker, whose Super Bowl "statistic" was debunked in 1993.
And then there was Lenore Weitzman, whose gem stating that men's standard of living goes up after divorce was soundly refuted. http://www.acbr.com/biglie.htm
Finally, there is Mary Koss, who gave us the mother of all factoids in stating that one-in-four college women have been the victim of rape or attempted rape. This was also debunked: http://www.iwf.org/archives/archive_detail.asp?ArticleID=121
The above link also gives 9 other "factoids," that radical feminists like to spew, and the sources of information leading to their debunking.

Your question is so poorly worded that I don't understand what on earth you are cranking about.
WHAT IS A CRANK? DEFINITION OF A CRANK:
"Crank" is a pejorative term for a person who
1. holds some belief which the vast majority of his contemporaries would consider false,
2. clings to this belief in the face of all counterarguments or evidence presented to him.
The term implies that
-"cranky" belief is so wildly at variance with some commonly accepted truth as to be ludicrous,
- arguing with the crank is useless, because he will invariably dismiss all evidence or arguments which contradict his cranky belief.
- Common synonyms for "crank" include kook and crackpot. The word quack is usually reserved for someone who promotes a medical remedy or practice which he knows to be ineffective.
The crank differs from the fanatic in that the subject of the fanatic's obsession is not necessarily widely regarded as wrong, or a "fringe" belief.
INTERNET CRANKS
The rise of the Internet has given another outlet to people well outside the mainstream who may get labeled cranks through internet postings or websites promoting particular beliefs. There are a number of websites devoted to listing people as cranks, with one of the best-known being Crank Dot Net.[1]
Common characteristics of cranks
Virtually universal characteristics of cranks include:
1. Cranks overestimate their own knowledge and ability, and underestimate that of acknowledged experts.
2. Cranks insist that their alleged discoveries are urgently important.
3. Cranks rarely if ever acknowledge any error, no matter how trivial.
4. Cranks love to talk about their own beliefs, often in inappropriate social situations, but they tend to be bad listeners, and often appear to be uninterested in anyone else's experience or opinions.
Some cranks exhibit a lack of academic achievement, in which case they typically assert that academic training in the subject of their crank belief is not only unnecessary for discovering "the truth", but actively harmful because they believe it "poisons" the minds by teaching falsehoods. Others greatly exaggerate their personal achievements, and may insist that some alleged achievement in some entirely unrelated area of human endeavor implies that their cranky opinion should be taken seriously.
Some cranks claim vast knowledge of any relevant literature, while others claim that familiarity with previous work is entirely unnecessary; regardless, cranks inevitably reveal that whether or not they believe themselves to be knowledgeable concerning relevant matters of fact, mainstream opinion, or previous work, they are not in fact well-informed concerning the topic of their belief.
In addition, many cranks
1. seriously misunderstand the mainstream opinion to which they believe that they are objecting,
2. stress that they have been working out their ideas for many decades, and claim that this fact alone entails that their belief cannot be dismissed as resting upon some simple error,
3, compare themselves with Galileo or Copernicus, implying that the mere unpopularity of some belief is in itself evidence of plausibility,
4. claim that their ideas are being suppressed by secret intelligence organizations, mainstream science, powerful business interests, or other groups which, they allege, are terrified by the possibility of their allegedly revolutionary insights becoming widely known,
5. appear to regard themselves as persons of unique historical importance.
The psychology of cranks
Virtually universal characteristic of cranks:
they simultaneously overestimate their own knowledge and ability and underestimate that of other persons, including that of acknowledged experts in the field.
Kruger and Dunning hypothesized that with regard to a typical skill which humans may possess in greater or lesser degree,
1. incompetent individuals tend to overestimate their own level of skill,
2. incompetent individuals fail to recognize genuine skill in others,
3. incompetent individuals fail to recognize the extremity of their inadequacy...
These results are taken to explain why cranks so often seem to represent, not individuals with an exceptional degree of knowledge, but rather individuals with an exceptional degree of ignorance concerning the subject of their cranky belief.
As noted above, in addition to a general lack of ability to accurately assess their own skills and knowledge, many cranks also exhibit deficiencies in reading comprehension, logical reasoning, and other cognitive abnormalities, which may contribute both to how they arrive at some bizarre counterfactual belief in the first place, and to how they are able to cling to such a belief in the face of all objections.
It is also striking that many cranks seem to exhibit certain symptoms of grandiosity or megalomania. This may perhaps also be understood, in terms of the phenomenon studied by Kruger and Dunning, as resulting from a simultaneous overinflation of their own social value and underestimation of the social value of others".
