The Latest in Anti-Tech Technology!

Mutual Phone-Attention: the highest state of intimacy the youth of today can achieve.

The phone epidemic is real. You can’t go anywhere these days without seeing people staring blankly at their glass screens. And we’re all thinking the same thing: so uncool.

Seriously how uncool do you get?

To counter this wave of un-hip, fad-following phone addicts, one corporation, Cavemen, has decided that 2015 will be the ideal time to launch their own anti-phone into the market. They promise it will have all the best features of Neo-Luddite technology to maximise the buyers cool factor. They are calling it the ‘Free Fone’.

The free fone itself!

This fake-phone, or ‘Fone’, has been set to be the newest big hit- a direct response to trend analysts’ prediction that people are sick of electronic devices and will now be following the Cool Kids, and ditching their phones for good.

The Free Fone is a completely electricity-free device, devoid of any of the up to date apps that have been consuming the attention span of the modern generation. It uses cutting edge technology to be as unaddictive and as useless as possible.

“We believe that all the really hip people believe that electronics are eating away at our life experience, despite TV ads futile attempts to claim the opposite.” Said a spokesperson for Cavemen Corporation. “It offers many excellent features. It’s completely wireless, and the battery will never run out on you. For even more cool-ness you can place it into any phone cover you like, making it personal to you.”

They promise their new fone will be a conversation starter at any party, and will guarantee to lead to laughter alongside those confused questions that will reassure you that you are the only one who gets it, along with your veganism and ironic René Magritte tee.

"We no usually the hip crowd base their beliefs on opposing the popular trend, however this time we think they're really onto something, and that this is not just a sensationalist idea."

Cavemen Corporation however are well aware that boring banks are too uncool to understand just what a revolution the fone will be, so they’ve decided to ask for money from the people that matter.

“We decided to use the Internet to crowd-fund the project, after the recent success of our competitors. After all, all the cool kids are using this new tech solution to counter corporations trying to make money out of gimmicks.”

FEMINISTS ARE TERRORISTS

Guys! I'm a terrorist!

This is real. Freedom of speech...

As I know a lot of you know, I identify as a feminist. By this I mean:

What happens when you type 'feminist' into Google.

There's a line there on being equal to men- not above them, or eradicating them or such nonsense. It is not a case of #KillAllMen.

However the #KillAllMen does exist, and unfortunately I don't think all these comments are in good taste or a joke.

This, I, hope, is a joke.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is not really a feminist view. Actually if we took it as a feminist view the women would have to be killed afterwards in order to make them equal to the men, and that would be expensive. Not mention the end of our species, which would be a shame for us. Could be good for the planet though.

However what isn't good for our planet, or for any one, is the two extremist camps- the militant feminists, and the extreme anti-feminists.

One guy has collated a list of reasons why he's an anti-feminist.

It's long!

And reading it? Honestly I'm not surprised. These acts are horrible. Death threats and career ruining acts. If you think this is what feminism is, then hey, I get it, you want to be opposed to that. I am too.

But that's not what feminism is. It's like saying, though not as offensive, all Muslims are extremists and terrorists. Most sane, rational people know this isn't true, and wouldn't judge someone saying they were a Muslim based on terrorist bombings. At least I'd hope not.

Feminists hate militant feminists. In fact we probably hate them more than the anti-feminists. We have to spend our entire time saying "What? No male rape is just as serious!" and "Of course I don't think women should be allowed to beat up their partners!". Feminists know it's #notallmen, yet we also know that it's closer to #YesAllWomen then many people feel comfortable seeing. We don't want to label people as victims, instead we want to give a platform for people who have been hurt to fight.

“The Everyday Sexism movement is a fantastic idea - an opportunity for an open debate on the ways in which genders mindlessly form prejudices against each other. “ -Natasha Devon.

And she's right- but she's also right that a lot of people don't like the idea of men posting their stories- and believe me, many men are treated in a sexist manner. I've been a perpetrator of that, and I'm ashamed that of it. Thankfully my feminist friends, and other friends, have called me out on it. That's what we all need to do. Call each other our when are views are outdated.

Is the word feminism outdated? Not yet. Yes women are more free than they have ever been, and in the west they are very close to being equal. But we're not there yet. And more importantly, we're definitely not their globally. And I don't mean we as is women, I mean we as in all of us, regardless of sex or gender. Feminism is a just a sub-department of egalitarianism, that takes it from the perspective to the different treatments due to gender and sex. I think all true feminists are egalitarian.

The fact that male rape victims and female rape victims are treated differently? That is a feminist issue. We'll push it with the rest of you.

And to anybody who has felt mistreated at the hands of feminists, I'm sorry.

The Wikipedia article on the amazing Erin Prizzey, who has been harassed and threatened by militant feminists for daring to speak about domestic violence against men.

 She has signed the petition.

Don't judge us by our extremist camp. They are not us. Feminism is an ideology about letting people live their life they way they want to, regardless of their gender and sex. It's about freedom of identity and choice. Many feminists are men, we're not and 'us against them clique'. We don't hate men. We don't like the way people judge how they should have to behave based on their genitalia either.

Join the real feminists, and help us show the world Feminism shouldn't be a dirty word.
