[QUOTE="ZeroTwo, post: 742914, member: 72695"] Really?! Ridiculous thing to say. Take the black lives matter movement in the USA. There are thousands and thousands who march peacefully but one person kicks off with a gun and suddenly they're bigots. Or two non-affiliated people shout down a microphone hating whites and the charity money raised by the ANC is forgotten. Back in the days of people like MLK, Pankhurst and Ghandi there were a lot of violent revolutionaries, outspoken critical voices of the majority etc. They are forgotten about because the media didn't focus on them, time absolves etc. Certainly slam the man-hating, race-hating individuals but saying the whole movements are just a cover is both offensive to the work being done by decent, hard working, charitable underprivileged people as well as being just an uneducated statement I'm afraid. Although I completely sympathise that the media pushes these extremist views from many individuals and the most obnoxious often shout the loudest so I get why you'd say that. Just remember that they ARE the minority! Try telling someone in a feminist group who raises awareness of rape that she is part of a bigoted, man-hating group when all she'd want is to stop something terrible happened. [/QUOTE]
