Like the generalizing of all feminists as sad and pathetic bear baiters in what I can only assume is a Limbaugh-arian understanding of the movement?

I did not see him do that.

However my opinion is that MOST (not all) people that claim to be feminist are retarded. they want equality and always criticize on matter in which a man stands above woman. but whenever theres a situaion where a woman stands above a man then it's "nope nothing to see here, this is all perfectly fine"

There are people who say the same thing about the team name of the Washington Redskins. Certainly there are more pressing and serious concerns facing women and PoC than nomenclature. And certainly, those issues should be prioritized. But the way we determine when something is bigoted and when something isn't is by sitting down and thinking about it critically, trying to see all sides of the issue, and then coming to a fair and unbiased conclusion that takes into consideration the feelings of the affected party. Not by dismissing the issue outright and being aggressively insulting toward the people who disagree.

Once again, I don't think "man-at-arms" is offensive. I just think gender neutral phrasing is something that should be talked about and considered. And if you find the idea of an open dialogue to be egregious then I'm afraid that's more your problem than mine.

Everyone will always have an issue with something. But just because they have an issue doesn't mean you should sit around a table and discuss how to change it. (in some cases you should granted, but in others you shouldnt it depends on the subject) like man-at-arms. if someone feels thats sexist. then TOUGH LUCK on that person. it is an historical term and doesn't even have anything to do with a sex. and there are so many more examples like tis.
