By the way, here's the piece he wrote for the New Statesman:

Ok. I was totally prepared to roll my eyes at Russell Brand yet again. He plays to the 'too cool for school class clown' too often. But he whipped out some content this time.
Well done!

Brand wrote a piece about this as well, quite worth reading in my opinion:

Did you catch Russell Brand's comment on the Hugo Boss "scandal"?

I had to look up the lyrics because the video's unwatchable...

And found this:

She writes:

".one day online and the original upload of this video‘s gotten over 234,000 views…and no response from the daily mail. .
but it has been tweeted by imogen heap, caitlin moran, wil wheaton, russell brand, robert llewellyn, and thousands of other awesome people.

are we the media?

it would appear so.

and by request, here are the lyrics. i didn’t have them typed out since i hand-wrote them (and i tossed them into the crowd when i was done)"

followed by lyrics. Enjoy.

Ok, Russell Brand is slowly winning me over to his side...

LMGTFY

"Feminism is a collection of movements and ideologies aimed at defining, establishing, and defending equal political, economic, and social rights for women."

Seems pretty fair to me.

I think you made some good arguments earlier in the thread, but saying that "feminism is the concept of female supremacy" is just too broad a generalisation. Are there some elements that believe that? Of course.

And there are some women who hold ridiculous (elevatorgate) or hypocritical (pycon) positions.

But there are also some atheists who have done some pretty bad things (Stalin, Mao), but their views are not representative of atheism as a whole.

I know plenty of feminists (IMHO, it's kinda hard to meet an intelligent woman who isn't a feminist) and none of them espouse that kind of belief.

Personally, my favourite definition of feminism comes from a NZ blog:

"I couldn't help wondering though for a while afterwards what I should make of all this, you know, as a feminist? My conclusion is that feminism is essentially about women having choices and if your choice is to fling your undies at someone famous, I guess I'm allowed to be a bit embarrassed for you but also pleased that you won't be flogged by your father or brother for it."
