We have a girl in our grade who is obsessed with 'equalling up the women's role in the
world'.

This means interjecting with pro-feminist remarks at any given oppurtunity and throwing s**t
at the fan whenever anyone seems to vaguely have a thing against any woman for anything.

Now everyone knows people like this;

Whether it be about racism, homosexuality or religion. What are your good stories with them?
They're always good for a laugh and to make us re-assess how we approach things. Just so
we don't look like them.

the thing is, no matter how hard people like that try and get their view across, there are some people who will always disagree with them, which makes them even worse at doing it

have you seen Life of Brian by Monty Python? There's a funny part on there about the equal rights of women

Okay; example:

When commenting on the Mona Lisa, someone made the observation that
they didn't think it was that great and that is was just very simple.

Instant rebuttal: "You're just saying that because it's a woman!"

And she stuck to that argument till it was over.
Ignoring the opposing argument that the Mona Lisa is in fact a simple
painting in all regards. It's just a perfectly proportioned ordinary person and
that it's genius lies in it's simplicity.

You just can't please some people

"Why do you keep going on about women, Stan?"

"I want to be one, I want to have babies!"

There's a girl in one of my lectures, if we are given a case study and the person is a man, she makes a point of commenting.

Or if the lecturer is talking, and gives an example like "Well if he was to do this..."

She always buts in and says "Or she was to do it!"

I promise one day I will throw something hard at her

That would be somewhat frustrating.

Enjoy it while you can take it in good humour.

Nothing wrong with gender equality, but she really does need to choose her battles a bit mroe carefully.

Feminist have taken things way too far, and only apply it to situations that they choose to apply it to and decide they are women when it is convenient for them, it's either all the way or not at all, but please not at your convenience only JMO

Then you should go back to your kitchen and only think about kittens and flowers, because what freedoms you have as a woman that your mother and grandmother did not have were won for you by feminism.

You guys do know there's a difference between feminist and feminazi, right?
I always find it best to be as chauvinistic as possible around feminazis, it's a great laugh.

Usually people who are quick to constantly over state their opinions are insecure in their stance in life. Those of us who are secure and intelligent don't have to beat people over the head with our ideas. We are capable of getting the thought across effectively with one single effort.
Nobody likes an extreemist, no matter what the subject.
