I thought this thread would be a compilation refuting feminist bullshit, so, if your ever debating a 350 pound feminist you could have one place to go to get a lot of good stuff instead of scouring the entire manosphere.
Forum Rules:
1. Only refute one thing at a time. I don't want one person refuting everything all in one huge post. I'm not saying you can't refute more than on thing, but do it one post at a time, so, as to let others get their licks in. Everyone doesn't like feminism, but people have specific things they don't like the most. Some guys on here are divorced, some have had to deal with fat girls at work, others simply can't stand American girls entitled attitude.
2. Try to refute things with sources and evidence. This isn't mandatory, but its more compelling to really nail it than just stating an opinion even if your opinion is true.
3. You can refute a talking point with text or just link to sources. I don't care this is really an open forum. I just don't want one person doing one massive refutation of the idiocy of feminism all in one post. Like I said, let everyone get their licks in.
Ok then, so, I'll start.
Feminist talking point, beauty is subjective and women can't be ranked.
Really? These posts from heartiste beg to differ. /http://heartiste.wordpress.com/2009/03/27/female-beauty-from-1-to-10-2/

When people were shown pictures of sculptures in a new study, brain scans suggest they judged beauty by at least partly hard-wired standards.
Researchers in Italy showed volunteers original and distorted images of Classical and Renaissance sculptures. The scientists picked 14 volunteers with no experience in art theory to try to see what role pure biology had to do with judging art.
The proportions of the sculptures in the study followed the golden ratio. And the original images of them strongly activated sets of brain cells that the distorted images did not—including the insula, a brain structure that mediates emotions.
“We were very surprised that very small modifications to images of the sculptures led to very strong modifications in brain activity,” researcher Giacomo Rizzolatti, a neuroscientist at the University of Parma, told LiveScience.
In addition, instead of asking volunteers to simply enjoy these pictures, the researchers also had them judge how beautiful or ugly each was. The images thought of as beautiful activated the right amygdala, a brain structure that responds to memories laden with emotional value. (The original images were often judged by the test subjects as more beautiful than distorted ones.)
The results indicate that the sense of beauty is based on hard-wired notions triggered in the insula and one’s experiences, and then activated in the amygdala. Still, the scientists caution the findings cannot necessarily be generalized across cultures.
