Today, at breakfast, my sister labelled me a "feminist." My whole family now refuses to talk to me for more than 30 seconds, and acts as though I have an incurable, highly contagious disease. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my sister outed me to my very conservative parents as retaliation for not taking her to get McDonald’s at 2 a.m. last night. My mom gave me an ultimatum, either "stop the lesbian shit" or get the fuck out of her house. My sister smirked through the whole thing. FML
Today, after years of miscarriages and desperately wanting a child, I lost my temper and screamed at my sister after she announced she'd had an abortion last month. Now no one in the family will speak to me, since I referred to her adopted kids as, "Not really her children." FML
Today, my sister is a murderer but my family admitted they prefer her over me. I had to move to a new city to get away from the media and drama, I have no friends, and the only family who calls me is my sister. FML
Today, my sister is furious with me and said i will never see my nieces again. Last weekend, while I babysat for her, I taught them the meaning of veganism and animal rights, even showing them a few videos about the meat and dairy industry, and how the animals are kept and treated. Now she won’t speak to me. FML
Today, my entire family is giving me the cold shoulder, including my parents, for not going to my sister's wedding. No one seems to care her new husband bullied me so badly in high school that I still need medication for my anxiety 15 years after graduating. FML
Today, my wife, who recently had cancer, made an offhand comment that my 30-year-old sister took offense to. Instead of saying something, she went and called our parents. My dad then called and yelled at me for 5 minutes about it. FML
Today, I was uninvited from every family event henceforth, because I finally had it and told my sister that I can’t stand to be around her horribly misbehaved kids. They have screaming meltdown tantrums, throw and break things, start fights and steal. How am I the bad guy? FML
Today, my eldest daughter has 'officially' removed herself from our family and will no longer communicate with any of us. Apparently it's my fault that her younger sister is having a baby before her, and she can't be part of a family that 'treats her so unfairly'. FML
Today, my sister-in-law is refusing to let me or my children be a part of her kids' lives. She’s even going as far as trying to make my brother stop speaking to us as well. Why? Simply because I'm an atheist. FML
Today, I told my sister I felt like her friends didn't like me, since they were ignoring my questions, opinions, etc., in the bridesmaids' chat, but were all over each other's messages. She kicked me from her bridal party, saying her friends wouldn't want me at the bridal shower and bachelorette party. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

What prompted her to call you that?

You should frame a giant copy of the 19th amendment, just to freak them out.

Since she likes labels, you could try labeling her a lesbian.

Feminism is a horrible disease.

I hate labels. No, I'm not being a hipster, I really don't like labels. Labels lead to stereotyping.

I imagine you going into your cupboard and ripping off all the labels screaming "Freedom from the oppression, liberation to the shackled!"

Feminism is a gret idea, if done right. If the girl wanr equality between man and woman. Sadly, most "feminist" whan rights over men. I'd like to quote a guy from the internet; "It's not enough that I shall succeed, others should fail." ... That's basicly their ideology.

Sorry, but you're wrong. You, a man, don't get to speak for what women want. Real feminists just want equality. That's all.

Oh but you magically know what all women want and need? CaptnNorway has as much of a right and ability to be feminist as you do.

77, my best friend is a feminist an he's a dude. He wants equal rights for woman such as fair pay and health care. That's what being a feminist is. Now there's the Extremist that just take everything too far and say "death to men" idk if they say exactly that but along those lines.

I'll tell you what, I'm all for equality but when it comes to the point that it accommodations are being made for one sex but not the other, that's unfair. Such as insurance rates. How the hell are those equal for everyone?! Squeaky wheel gets the grease folks.
RedPillSucks 33
Insurance rate difference is not a fair argument about gender discrimination. The insurance rates are different because more men get into accidents than women (irrespective of what you may think about the driving ability of women). Insurance companies are all about making money. Do you claim age discrimination because people under 25 have higher rates than people over 25?

#126, do they charge for race or religion? If not, would you advocate it? Age isn't really an argument because there is an age limit to begin doing everything, so younger people are less experienced and educated. Also, there's a much better biological argument than there is for sex or race. I'm sure there's a statistical argument to be made, but it just comes off as... I don't know, collective punishment? I don't see why everyone of a particular group should have to pay more just because more members of the same group than others happen to do stupid things...

I meant coverage issues. Insurance companies can deny woman birth control coverage which has been proven to help with way more than preventing babies but those same companies can approve erectile dysfunction medicine and cover it 100% that only improve mans sexual performance.

The world is a very unfair place.

67- I think you're thinking of the "extreme" feminists.
lilhellian 27
It will always be a dual edged sword (can't think of the name for it.) what some girls can do guys can't and will probably get into much more trouble.

Sounds like the subculture of American Christian Homeschoolers today.
gracehi 33
Seems like you're not opposed to labels and stereotypes either. Can you say, "hypocrisy?" Because your sure can display it.

1, My comment was mostly a joke. 2,, I was referring to the treatment that she received. I said nothing for or against labels and stereotypes. 3rd, I graduated as a homeschool student so I know all about the homeschool community. Me and my homeschool friends lightheartedly mock the homeschool community (and thus ourselves) quite frequently. Not because we harbor any ill feeling toward them, but because we feel it is good to be able to laugh at our own mistakes. Hypocrisy is the state of promoting or administering virtues, moral or religious beliefs, principles, etc., that one does not actually have or is also guilty of violating. While I am guilty of not possessing many of the same values and beliefs that many other homeschoolers have, I was not promoting any of them and therefore, I am not being hypocritical.
