A: I'm a feminist.
B: Maybe, but you've hijacked the term. I'm a real feminist, first wave feminism. I believe in equal rights for women, but unlike you, I don't blame society for my hardships. I work hard and it shows in my performance. I'm respected by my male peers and control my own life. You play the victim and blame others for being offended.
A: RAPE APOLOGIST!

fainting couch feminism

adj. : Beliefs and practices that coincide with the "Third-Wave" feminist idea that people's feelings and emotions must be treated as delicate and fragile. Common on university campuses in the forms of "trigger warnings" and "safe spaces."

A: I thought the ghost of Martin Luther King Jr. was giving the commencement speech for the university.
B: He was, but since he discusses real equality, a couple white feminists felt he didn't acknowledge the "lived experiences" of black people. They felt this was triggering so they used a hashtag campaign to get him banned.
A: But i though universities were where people went to have the hard conversations, work through them and better society as a result.
B: They use to be, but since fainting couch feminism took over, they're just places young adults go to be coddled like children for $40k a year.
