what even on pandora is an "elite feminist"

Someone who posts 10 posts a day on something related to feminism.
I hope I haven't offended you in anyway with what I've said as it seems I've kinda made you mad :/ I don't hate Tumblr, it just seems to be a source of finding things I don't like recently. I also have nothing against feminists, as many of my friends are ones and people I respect.
Just I've had a couple of nasty incidents with some on a forum I used to use which makes me kinda stupidly scared of them, but I shouldn't be. So I don't put my say into matters on it, even if I agree.

I really dislike when people think that things are "equal" in "civilized society" and that people fighting for rights are exaggerating the problem to appear victimized. This type of ignorance is amazingly common and it's really disgusting.

Problems are not being exaggerated. Bigotry is very much alive for all sorts of people. You are part of the problem if you pretend nothing needs changing.

...you know too much. I'm going to have to ask you to come with me into this scary dark alley.

Honestly though I'd be happy with women even being superior to men. ^^;

This Oshawott is not that intelligent, and he isn't judgmental.
Here's $10. I'll congratulate you if the operation's a total success.

I'm a cis white male, I follow quite a few feminist blogs, and very rarely to I actually feel attacked by the people I follow. Occasionally I'll see something that's a bit borderline, but the majority of what I've see on Tumblr is very positive. The people who actually think that all men are problems are in the minority.

I believe everyone should be equal regardless of things we can't control such as gender or race. Not all feminists act like they want equality for everyone.

Unrelated, but I hate when it starts raining on a certain route the second I go to do horde battles for EV training. >:I

Why does that affect your training?

It's a term that's necessary to exist, since "cis-" is the opposite of "trans-," so cisgender is the opposite of transgender. It's really unfortunate that it's become akin to a slur though. All it means is that you're gender identity is the same as the sex you were born.

Just because someone is a feminist doesn't mean they are someone who hates men and believes women are the master race. Feminists are in fact people who believe that women deserve rights equal to men, being able to do the same jobs, earn the same money, etc. Most feminists tend to sympathize with other gender groups due to the fact they are often mistreated, as women tend to be by certain other people. Women who believe their gender is superior to all others are called something I can't remember, but I hate them as much as I hate misogynists.

This! I think it's called Misandry, and is something I'm scared of.
I think this is probably my own root cause of being kinda scared of feminists is because I've been mixed up with Misandrys who claim to be feminists and have been really nasty to me when I've said that men, in certain areas, have appalling rights compared to women.
That was in the context of Fathers4Justice who want equal rights as women in custody over children during divorce.

This.
If people are fighting for rights then there must be something wrong in the first place as society at the moment certainly isn't perfect.
I'll give an example which really annoys me.
People don't want another female Prime Minister because they fear she'll be like Margaret Thatcher.
This is completely stupid and absurd. Female MPs also do worse then men because people believe they aren't strong enough to do the job.

Because you can't use Sweet Scent when it's raining. Apparently, the rain must wash the scent away or something.

Even if it is necessary, I just don't like it.
I just say I'm female and leave it at that

I think random weather helps build immersion in a game. But I'd also like to know the forecast.

I like it too but it shouldn't stop Sweet Scent from working.

Huh, never realized that. XD I guess I've never gone training/shiny hunting in the rain.
