    A lot of feminists are actually egalitarians but for whatever reason don't want to call themselves as such. Maybe they think the name of the movement carries more weight or something, I don't know. I'd argue the opposite especially with the rise of the crazies.

    And then of course there are feminists who claim they support these causes but actually don't give a shit and just use it to make themselves look better.

    The small population of crazies do not get much attention in the general population. Now on the internet, that is a different story. Feminism is a brand that gets sold much easier than egalitarian, so people stick with feminist.

    I wish they would try to implement child support 2.0.

    It would essentially be penalizing guys that might not only choose to be single, but other men who want to cohabitate but either hasn't found a suitable mate or cannot get one.
    So preemptive/compensatory child support? You pay in case you ever do have kids or in case some other guy doesn't pay for his?

    Or try something useful.
    Just conveying what the response to that is in terms of patriarchy theory. It also goes something like "men warp society due to being in control, so women are influenced by it and perpetuate patriarchy", or something along that line.

    Which social theory(s) is more useful than learning and conflict in your eyes?

    I was saying that there's nothing useful about "social theories". If you want to study/learn about something, try for something that's actually productive.

    Oh I gotcha. I generally see it as fun, as well as learning why people do things in a society is interesting to me. Not to mention when addressing how to reduce a negative activity, it is good to have an idea of the causes of it.

    I mean it's fine as a "hobby" or interest or whatever. But "feels" are inherently illogical and unproductive. /shrug

    Social theories are not just about feelings, but what causes something like an increase in violence in an area over a certain time period that isn't at war. Understanding the underlying causes of these types of things can help offset what is going on. Since society is well, run by society, learning how society functions helps understand why something happens, as well as how to alter something that is viewed as bad on a large scale.

    Gang/youth violence is caused by low-riding pants cutting off circulation to the upper body. See? Much more fun.

    But about as useful as patriarchy theory being applied to the same situation.

    Right, but humor's fun. "My daddy's a drunk and mommy has to blow old guys for meth money" is boring and trite.

    Ignorance is not synonymous with dumb. Are you implying that the "m" should be a "b"?

    We are. Humor is more useful than "social science".
