feminist killjoy: a rant

A rant regarding a video I recently uploaded onto my youtube: “feminists don’t  really  want equality” & 6 other myths about feminism I keep getting personal messages sent to me on youtube from MRA's calling me scum and trying to tear me down but all it does is prove that their opinions are not worth my worry. i am always open to critical debate and i can defend my views but only when it is appropriate (ie. has SOME basis for its truth other than a feminist-hating forum on reddit).
