Also it reminds me of Nelson Mandela who was kind of like "some people rule by driving the people apart, by creating an enemy", be it about the colour of the skin, the gender or whatever kind of difference there could be. What do you focus on, the differences or the things that we have in common.
By lifting one side of a stick you also lift the other side. So by creating one extreme you also create the other extreme.
That can only be true if I buy into it and give energy to it, by getting upset about it. I accept it, it's her opinion, and if I can ask her questions that make her question it - awesome. If not - so be it.
Edit:
So sad to see a girl so entangled into the whole feminist narrative that she destroy her own potential to live a happy life - if you are a girl who spend all of your time jabbering about feminist stuff and take every chance to get upset about something being sexist - what sane guy would stand that shit? Only guys without an own sense of peace who accept their every opinion just to get laid or guys who pretend to care just to get laid. A sensible guy don't want to spend his time debating every little thing and hearing about how the patriarchy is destroying every womens life and not be able to have a laugh or two with the risk of the girl starting to throw knifes at him for joking about something inappropriate that "actively supports the patriarchal structures in society"... geeeez. I'm all in for equality - but heck live a little and be a normal being or else your idea of "every man is an asshole" is you just attracting said assh*les and scaring away all the normal dudes.
Yes, society is sexist - because we are a sexual species and our main goal is to procreate.
Yes, we live in a capitalistic society because we are a sexual species and our main goal is to procreate.
And yes, there will always be assh*les in this system that try to take advantage of others because they don't want to suck it up and play according to the rules.
Deal with it. Become stronger. Learn to separate the assh*les from the ones who aren't. Learn to see the good things in life and in people. If you are going around your whole life trying to change the system because it's "unfair", first - good luck, second - you are creating yourself a miserable life.
EDIT2:
Found a pretty entertaining and interesting video about it

Pretty unsure about if this breaks rule 10 - let me know if it does. My idea of sharing it was not to discuss it, but to share some insight so maybe someone don't fall into the trap of getting miserable by dating a girl like this, as it can drag you into victim mentality and just pure misery - which is totally the opposite direction of what people here want to do.
