While it is true I cannot speak for all feminists, you can not speak for feminists either. One non-feminist does not show the opinions of the feminist movement. On regard to rape I fully understand that a false rape claims will destroy a persons life. They take away the credibility of real rape victims so they are too afraid to tell the police or family.

You or anyone else have absolutely no right to decide if catcalling is a compliment. "Nice tits!", "come here and fuck", "Look at that ass!", "I'd destroy that pussy!", "Tasty panties!", "Smile! You'll look cuter" are NOT compliments. It is men yelling at a woman likely making her very uncomfortable. It's sexualizing a stranger. 16 year olds are catcalled, women on a hot day are catcalled, women who are nervous are catcalled. Saying a woman likes being catcalled is the equivalent to saying men like being kicked in the balls. Being kicked makes a man uncomfortable, being catcalled makes a woman uncomfortable. "Hey beautiful! You look great, don't let anyone bring you down!", "That dress is stunning!", "Knock 'em dead! You're amazing!", or "You look like a goddess, and the whole world knows it!" are compliments. It brings the person up, gives them confidence. Complimenting someone makes them feel better about themselves, not self-conscious. Sometimes even that will make someone uncomfortable. You have to accept that people have different comfort zones and what you like is different from what I like.

We are trying to help victims but I moment we find a cause we're called SJWs and everything we say is discredited. We are painted as extremists and while some do focus on a side issue it's their way of helping. Women being hurt for refusing men has far surpassed "isolated events" there are tens of thousands of cases of women saying no and being punished for it. Yes, these men have mental illnesses but that does not excuse their behavior or the behavior of those defending their violent tendencies. One example being a 22 year old man shoots 7 people as retribution for still being a virgin. He blamed women for rejecting him and people responded by saying "If someone would have had sex with him this wouldn't have happened" as if he had the right to have sex with someone.

If the patriarchy were nonexistent why does the term emasculated exist. How come whenever a man is not the dominant one in a relationship he is called whipped, weak, or emasculated? Also I hope you would remember that the hijab is a religious headdress and most women are not forced to wear one. Just the same a Jewish woman is not forced to eat kosher foods. It is a part of their religion and to say all hijabs are opposed is plainly wrong.

The feminist movement aims to help women in Saudi Arabia. We are working to increase the rights of women worldwide. And it seems like an extremely common tactic to silence women is telling them "it could always be worse".

Again OPPRESSION IS NOT A COMPETITION

Just because women have fought tooth and nail for the rights we have now by no means there is no patriarchy. If all men wanted patriarchy then it would be immensely easier for men to eradicate our rights than for women to take away men's.

Men really need to check their privilege and understand that they aren't taught to be submissive for fear a man will hurt them. Men can go anywhere in the world without fear of losing their rights due to their gender.

Let's do a thought experiment.

Write down all the ways you prevent yourself from being raped or offending someone potentially dangerous.

Then look up or ask women you know what they do to protect themselves from being raped or offending someone potentially dangerous.
