I keep accidentally reading the title of this as "Forum Titties"
What is wrong with my head
I was wondering who borrowed my eyes.

If the KKK suddenly stopped being about White Supremacy and started being about racial equality, they would change their name.
When Feminism changed from a movement focused on Female-only "equality" (while actually being a middle-class based revolt for the sake of special interest in almost every case; see when the ERA was killed multiple times because of a radical feminist group's rider bill).
You do not get to continue to use the social impetus of a movement (id est hijack the movement) in order to further advertise it to everyone. "He for She" is an advertisement campaign, and marketing has been heavily involved in modern popular Identity Politics for ages. In order to transcend class and obtain true equality, you have to discard the classes entirely and see through to the truly oppressive classifications, and, most importantly, the logical errors and other bias-based reasons that people have been fed (or fed themselves) in order to continue implementing the same oppressive lies.
Everyone can see that not everyone fits into a social construction of Masculinity or Femininity when you give them the right light, and when you do that, people start to challenge the very words we use to describe those interactions, like Feminism. You do not get to rename "Feminism." Make a new movement based on true equality--not on keeping the same gendered classifications and biases for everyone while simultaneously proclaiming that everyone is a special snowflake.
Yes, the people must organize, but organization is not automatically bulletproof, and the methods supported by the ideology propped up by Feminism is absolutely dilletante. No need to perpetuate these baseless institutions, and there is no need to organize to teach people reason--when you give someone a taste of it that puts their sour ideologies to shame, they will want more.

In order to claim false equivalence, you have to prove that one concept is significantly removed from the other. You might be trying to pose my argument as a strawman, but it is merely one facet of the argument I presented--you cannot boil it down to "White Supremacy isn't equivalent to Feminism," because my argument has more substance than that.
However, I will still challenge your viewpoint. White Supremacy and Feminism operate off of the same Identity Politics, attempting to achieve a certain goal by focusing on certain aspects of the "opposite" side. Instead of advocating for equality on all bases, they separate themselves and intentionally restrict their thinking to work for their special interests.

You cannot derail a discussion by simply ignoring the antithesis to your argument. It is not about what people call themselves, because then we would have to consider Stalinists to be Communists (an extremely incorrect assumption). The Feminist movement often--especially in modern times--wants to preserve the idea that being Male and Female involves a specific Essentialism, like racists, that furthers the sexist misunderstanding of Humanity. Since many Feminists are post-modern thinkers, I would assume they would understand the importance of the movement's name on how people conceptualize it.
In order to change thoughts, you change words. Communism stays pure because Leninists and Stalinists were never practicing Communism, and focused on having the state; others attempted to corrupt the very concept by enormous marketing campaigns against Communism, but the very name of it (and its source) separates from those bastardizations. On the other hand, Feminism focuses on females, always focused on females, and, to this day, wants to drive a divide between males and females in order to attempt "equality." Separate is never, has never, and will never be equal, and until feminists shrug off their sexist ways, they will not be able to truly transcend and understand the oppression they are helping to enforce.

Those blasted towel-tipped blokes have fended off our tea industry for the last time!

I'm a grown ass man
I always heard about your kind when I was growing up; what is it like for only your ass to grow up? Is balance a daily challenge?

Around 62, but who goes outside?

You give them a quest to find the person with the ! over their head, whom then tells them that they have to go on the forum to collect their reward.
The reward is a firm :bill:'ing.

Thread derailed. Where the fuck is the bill emoticon?

No, just the Wii U. It's a poor system in all aspects.
Have you played on the Wii U? I think you might be suffering from RedditVision™.

When a company who has been known for inflating their purchase rates overestimates their sales, it is a failure? Sounds like they made plenty of sales to me, sonny, and the Wii U was always offered at a rather low price, so it is foolish for you to assume that they were dumping their entirety into it.
Nintendo is wiping these tears that you keep talking about with enormous wads of cash, and denying that is simply foolish.

Tell us what you will pay for, so that you can pay us for it! Why would we ask this before release to include them, instead of cloning characters?
They should have reworked every clone in the game to include a unique moveset.

The most successful handhelds in history are certainly not "a dead system." The Advertising Bias strikes again.

Dogs and humans are on similar ground (har har) when it comes to long-distance running. Better start moving the goalposts in your favor before he starts barking up the wrong tree.

The other day, I left this room on a quest. Up the stairs, I found this strange room with a menagerie of utilities stored within, but nothing could prepare me for the second revelation; the entire enclosure was dedicated to food.
It was a delectable trip; I encourage everyone to drop the keyboard immediately and pursue a similar voyage.

Affray has the right idea in mind; many people are of the firm delusion that traveling is about distance from your current location. Better phrased, traveling is about the mindset--you do not have to get in a car, hop on a plane, smuggle yourself onto a boat, or anything more than step outside and look around as if you were looking for the first time to find something interesting. Go explore a mountain, a riverbed, a wooded area, or anywhere that sparks your interest. You will always be surprised at what you will find--I have discovered completely tucked away marshes in the middle of a city, breathtaking vantage points tens of feet from the edge of a suburb, and so much more that people outright ignore because "there's nothing to do around here" mentalities poison their drive to experience.

Your daughter is going to wonder why she gets so nostalgic playing Saints Row in a few years.

Worded strangely, you mean. No need to teach the second-speaker improper grammar right off the boat!
