Femitheist Divine Commits Suicide

[The Rich Port]

"Femitheist Divine" was her user name. Kind of like "Khadgar" is yours.

I've seen reports of her suicide only on misogynist sites.

I got that part, it's just a weird word.

Maybe she's a feminist Christian?

Feminist Gnostic?

[Takaram]

The hell is a Femitheist?

Also why is the link in the OP to a known misogynist website?

I'm going to assume that she was both feminist and fairly religious, just going by the name. What religion would be an interesting question, since the mainstream Western ones tend to be pretty down on women.

Oh. Yeah, I guess.

[Lysandrion]

Who sows the hatred shall reap the hatred - and should be ready for it. Still, people usually do not become like that if they feel happy with themselves, so I guess trying to help her would be a better way to silence her than pointless attacks... The Internet, however, is the last place where one could expect tolerance and niceness.

[Jinos]

Good riddance to bigots.

[Greed and Death]

I sincerely hope the suicide is a hoax or just a symbolic way to end her blog.

I have read a few of her musings, and I could never tell if she was serious, a satirist, or trolling the world.

If she was serious, yes she did seem to have some sort of a mental illness, and I regret hearing she did not receive the help she deserved before taking such a drastic measure.

[Saiwania]

No matter how much scorn she had for males such as myself, I hope that she may now rest in peace if she did commit suicide. I personally don't care about what people say to me online. If it upsets me enough, I will take a few days off and will come back on whenever ready. If she was driven to suicide over hateful emails or whatever, I believe it is likely that she was already depressed about something. It is unfortunate that she didn't get help or find renewed purpose in life.

[Faolinn]

I cannot say I agree with many of her stances as I consider it counter to that of real feminists. Feminism is about lifting people (in particular women) up not tearing them down. Even though I do have some venomous things to say about her, suicides bother me, and the fact that she had a daughter only makes it worse... Of all the ways to go she chose the most pointless, selfish, and hurtful to those around her, but what troubles me most is that there are people out there who would have been there for her, everyone has someone, and she chose not to reach out to them. As sickening as I find her ideology, I never feel good about someone committing suicide... She needed help so very desperately, but her sorrows swallowed her whole.

[Raeyh]

I think it's a hoax and Krista Jane Heflins isn't even a real person.

[Samuraikoku]

I should probably say, I hope it isn't true. I however would tell her that not all men are as evil as she'd portray us to be. Some of us try not to at least.

[Nazi States of Europe]

I think its just a hoax, but if it is true I couldn't care less and find it pretty funny that she can dish it out but can't handle the backlash.

[Capitolinium]

I'm surprised she hasn't been lionized by the kinds of people who think Susan Sontag and Andrea Dworkin were actual intellectuals.

[Phocidaea]

I just wish that she would have been driven to suicide because she would be unable to cope with how insane she had become. It'd be almost impossible to find a human male who could read her tirades and not find them offensive, and just as hard to find a human of either gender who could read them and not think, "She's insane". The "rape supporter" list probably applies to every adult male on the planet, and the "All Men Should Be Castrated" bit was so insane that I actually started crying about finding a strawwoman feminist so horribly insane that she would win a "Miss Andric" contest any day.

"All men are violent sociopaths, and that's the case only because they're men, and everyone knows that there are no violent sociopathic women, so let's cut their balls off, and that will make society better".

I'm amazed she didn't get murdered by someone for that. That's literally what it means to be a "Feminazi": desiring to round up and forcibly mutilate half the human race because they're different from you. She ends the post stating that men should only exist to "Breed, Labor, SERVE, Die". So just as we got past applying that concept to women, some feminazi had to come along and try gender-reversing it.

This is why modern feminists aren't taken seriously. The good apples are good, but the rotten apples are worm-infested remnants of so-called fruit.

[Conformal Veal Theory]

So I'm reading speculation that the suicide was faked in order to get more attention, where others are claiming that she really is dead. Is faking suicide for attention even a thing?

[The Emerald Dawn]

It is very, very much a thing.

[Olthar]

Uh, yeah. Why wouldn't it be? People will do just about anything for attention.

It is very, very much a thing.

And either way, the overall message seems to be "The Man Won". Not a very positive message for vicious uberfeminists now is it?

Or the 'message' could be "See? See how unrepentantly evil men are? They drove an innocent woman to suicide just for standing up against them!"

[Syventoji]

It's never a good day when someone dies, but if what you're is correct. That is so messed up.

[Snoefsnuif]

'She came under accurate and well-deserved fire for making posts that advocated murder, supported gendercide, eugenics and other forms of virulent misandry'

She seemed to be a bitch.

But hating her enough to make her kill herself? Absolutely not.

Exactly, I was rather expecting some neutral and objective report, as those are generally more reliable sources. Ah well.

[Not Safe For Work]

The hell is a Femitheist?

A radical feminist.

Also why is the link in the OP to a known misogynist website?

Misogynist website? I didn't know it was a misogynist website.

Really?

It's top cited article for activism is to blag your way onto juries, and then block guilty votes even if the evidence is overwhelming.

I normally don't think much of poisoning-the-well as a logical strategy, but in this case, if they told me the sky was blue I'd go outside and check.

[Norstal]

We had a trhead on this a week or so ago, I think. Seems to me that there was some question about the suicide but I'm not sur eof the details. It's always sad when someone takes their own life like this.

One of the comment said she isn't dead. Rather, her online persona and website is dead.

[Hydesland]

Why are so many people being so rude to her? I don't care if she had insane views, it is never okay to say that she deserved death.

[Silent Majority]

This.




And on a side note, it looks like she had a rather atypical definition of radical feminism. I hope people don't think she's in anyway representative of the movement.

[Trotskylvania]

Indeed. It's not like she's murdered anyone, pillaged any countries, stole anyones' livelihoods, or raped anyone. She just was vocal and annoying on the internet. Yet there's more bile for her than a lot of people who have done the aforementioned.
