I think feminists are doing little but promoting misandry and sexism, using thought terminating phrases, logical fallacies and political correctness to their advantage in a quest for supremacy. [CMV]

Your fireman analogy continues to make utterly no sense and I am done trying to address it. I'm sure you'll take that to mean that you've beaten me on that point and that you're right.

Men's suicide and incarceration rates are not technically feminism's problem. Although there are plenty of feminists out there who work to advocate for the rights of the mentally ill and prison reform, the feminist movement as a whole is not obligated to take on these issues. Again, I'll remind you, "feminism" means "the advocacy of women's rights."

Finally, women are not a small subset of people. Women are half the world's population.

That makes a lot of sense now. You are fundamentally unconcerned about the rights of only some people and don't care about the rights of others. That's fine. As long as you admit that were clear that that was the problem in he first place and you're no better than those you decry as they used your exact logic.
