Feminism, because it denies human nature, is a profoundly inhuman philosophy. When put into practice it hurts people, just like Stalinism and Maoism. Not just a few people, but millions of them — from children on up to grandparents.

Fundieism, because it denies reality, is a profoundly inhuman philosophy. When put into practice it hurts people, just like communism and conservatism. Not just a few people, but millions of them from children on up to grandparents.

"Wanting everyone to be treated equally denies human nature?"
Well, I suppose that he could be referring to the fact that for most of human history, humanity has lived under profoundly unequal systems, such as the common monarchies which, AFAIK, usually preached unquestioning submission to the ruling class.
Of course, most of us view the decline of the monarchies and their related systems as a good thing.
It is human nature for those who hold power to wish to retain it, but it is definitely not human nature for those who are oppressed to want to stay that way.
Or, more simply put, it may be in your nature to enjoy being able to tell your wife to get out to the kitchen and make you a sammich, but while she's looking for the bologna, she's probably suppressing the urge to whack you over the head with the frying pan instead.
You need to study your Republican handbook a little bit more because your sad attempts at demonization are rather fucking pathetic.
Wanting to be treated equally equates to Stalinism and Maoism? Are you fucking serious?
Please provide evidence for your statement. How many have died because of feminism? How many have been injured or maimed because of feminism? How many have been left traumatised by feminism? I know that you won't be able to provide answers to these questions, because, as usual, you're communicating through your anus.
Price, I would make a fortune if, every time you post, I held a "spot the failure in logic" contest.
Oh, in this case it's "feminism, because it denies human nature..." This is the the old stand-by of mistaking a personal opinion for a law of nature. Winner earns ten.
That's extremist feminism. Feminism, like religion, is good and harmless- when moderate. But really feminism is a good thing, man.
I am going to college, double-majoring in biology and psychology. I am asexual (mostly) and I'm not planning on being married to anyone. I'm getting nearly straight A's, and if I can keep this up, I may one day reach my goal of becoming a forensic pathologist, or maybe something in research. In short, life is good.
I'm also female.
I thank feminism for giving me the opportunity to do all this. It's not against human nature if it helps people reach their full potential. Like it or not, skillset is not determined by the Y chromosome.
How does equal rights, freedoms and responsibilities for both men and women deny human nature? I'd say that as we need to cooperate to stay alive, we ought to be equal partners. Only weak, insecure men need to push down women to their own level.
Most people in Sweden see themselves more or less as feminists. Only the ones on the outer right-wing flank; the conservatives and the racist parties (yes, we have two), refuse to see themselves as feminists. I can't see any hurt from the practice of equality in my country; rather the opposite. Women earn their own salaries, men have paternity leave, and very few people have kids during high school. But, let me guess; that's your idea of Hell, isn't it?
"When put into practice it hurts people..."
Yes it does. It butt hurts them.
Or:-
When will I, a mighty man (Homo loopy loony), defeat these troublesome sandwich making penis receptacles?
Unlike you and your ilk, I prefer to think that humanity is not by default meant for oppressing each other.
And don't forget that in USSR & communist China women do have equal rights* and they didn't do all that badly. Even today Stalin and Mao are remembered fondly in their countries** (both were idealist to a certain extent, delusional perhaps, but at least give them credit for getting their countries into the industrial age and not being bullied around by their neighbors).

*on paper anyway, can't help that a good chunk of their respective populations are somewhat backward on the gender equality front.
**Ok so Stalin is Georgian, but everyone associate him with Soviet Russia anyway.
To scare you even further, under Stalin (and even more under Lenin) and Mao, a unique form of feminism was promoted that resulted in higher female workplace employment, legal abortion (in the Soviet Union in 1920), and extensive maternity leave. In both countries communism helped give women a voice, marginalised by only the dictator in charge of their respective country.
Yes, feminism is against human nature, just like communism, because it denies the people in power (men, the bourgeoisie) their unjustly gained power. In feminism's case, we can see that men have gained said power simply because biology (men are generally stronger and don't have to give birth and nurse children) makes it easier for patriarchal societies to form. But it doesn't have to be that way--it's a shame social reactionaries like you will never figure that out.
I wonder what W.T.F. Price's thoughts are on Ronnie Raygun...?:

I wonder what W.T.F. Price's thoughts are on Ronnie Raygun? Two words: Special Relationship.
Enjoy your mega-paradox.
Still, at least every cloud has it's silver lining:

USA is now rid of it's absolute laughingstock of a plastic cowboy who went loopy, and was acted off the screen by a chimpanzee, and my country is equally rid of the real Antichrist, the inferior subhuman who went loopy, and the very basis of my more than infinite hatred of everything & everyone right-wing.
L. Ron Hubbard. Harold Camping. Fred Phelps. Give me just one good reason why your removal from this world shouldn't equally be celebrated, W.T.F. Price?
"Human nature" in your words, I'm willing to bet, means that women should do all the real work in the world while the men sit around and drink beer. That's what it really boils down to in real life. Sometimes it ought to be the men's turn to put the kids to bed while the women drink beer.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
