I think I'm lucky to attend a lower-tier and ethnically diverse college because I've never had a single run-in with the stereotypical stuck-up white feminist bitch. Most of the women here shoot guns and are far from politically correct, overall leaning much further right than I would have expected them to prior to college. I will say that in an English 101 class where we had to read random little articles of various left-wing political views, the feminist ones where the ones that I literally could not even comprehend. Ones on obesity, race, sexuality, homelessness, etc I could understand even if I disagreed with them or thought they were total appeals to emotion, but the feminist ones I could not even make sense of what they were trying to say. In some ways, I'm really glad that all of my negative experiences with opinionated and belligerent fuckwads has been with men.

I am honestly interested if you can provide me a list of sites and/or blogs which would not fall under what you would refer to as the "lunatic fringe".

One site to definitely stay away from is Jezebel, I agree with some of what gets put up on there, but the problem with the site is that it is built like many other clickbait news sites like Gawker and Kotaku - bring in the views, ignore integrity and quality.
A couple I can suggest though are Tiger Beatdown and Persephone.

Really? I mean, I know Gawker is set for clickbait, but Jezebel is like The Flagship.

They are the major site, and they're not quite fringe, but the site itself has had some pretty suspect decisions such as the body shaming of Lena Dunham and need to become a bit more aware that they often come off as these people who are so unaware of anything but their feminism that they fail to see where it intersects with racial issues and class issues.

More behaviors that annoy me:
Acting like people are static. Yeah, because you've never changed ever. I'm sure someone is exactly how you imagined they are in the past.
Not letting oneself have agency in how one defines oneself and even being offended at the notion. Responsibility for how you feel about yourself is far more empowering than trying to get everyone to be nice to you.
When atheists make up stupid ideas of God and say God is bullshit. Yeah, their ideas do sound stupid, but they just made them up.
Acting like empathy is the same as help. Cool, you hijacked my sadness. That'll totally help.
Edit: Caring more about politeness than being nice. I was once having a heated argument over text and walked through a door someone held open for me and got an angry, "you're welcome!" because I didn't say thank you. My attention was elsewhere. It happens. Do you open a door for someone so they can walk through it or do you do it so they'll thank you? Personally, I don't give a fuck about being thanked for stuff like that and even find it awkward when it sounds robotic. We don't need scripts from society to be nice.

Okay, now I understand why people are annoyed with these "feminists." Just finished a Facebook argument with one, because she got offended that a girl I went to high school with and I said our iPods were sexually assaulted by U2. I mean really? Mind you we went to an all girl's high school, how we could be endorsing rape culture is beyond me. Unravel your fucking panties.

I don't like women that think that every single object, concept, notion, piece of music, taste, temperature, texture, snail, piece of coriander, woodlouse or whatever in the world is a man that has his penis ready to have sex with them. They then react to it as if it either impressed them or did not. It's so fucking dumb and animal like. It's fucking bonobo behavior.

To be fair, what that person said is pretty fucking stupid. Comparing having an album placed on your phone is a far cry from sexual assault and I can understand people finding it offensive, and if they themselves were a victim of abuse downright hurtful.
Rape culture endorsement doesn't necessarily have to be done by males, much like misogyny is not strictly perpetuated by men. It mostly is, but women can have views and attitudes that reinforce such things.

Dude, men do this just as much (at least where I live). They're just less dramatic about it. But I do find the behavior stupid. "I find something objectionable that doesn't even exist for the purpose of my approval and everyone's gotta know!" I actually feel bad for people that get offended by what music other people listen to or what cars they drive, clothes they wear, etc. It seems like a huge expenditure of energy that ends with being annoyed. Just... Why?

Mort: I was actually waiting to see you reply to see what you thought. 
If you didn't think it was offensive than it can't be was my logic. All jokes aside, I really don't understand these types. They seem like predators to me. Whatever happened to being focused on equality and equal wages and such? We are going to legislate humor now because "people are sensitive" ? Where's the line? I suppose we should also stop joking about fast-food, cigarettes, and accidents because people die or were hurt from these things too.
For anyone who cares… I'll probably edit this later just in case people look up their comments. This is a shortened version of it, because you know I can't be bothered with the entire thing.

You don't trivialize shit with rape jokes. The audience does if they so choose. Words don't automatically mean something to every single person. I've attempted suicide and will say something sucks so much I want to kill myself, and I'm in no way trivializing the shit I went through, but someone else may think that I'm trivializing suicide.
That's just how they see it and they're pretending their perspective of what you say is embedded in your words and that they'll magically put the perspective in others. There isn't any arguing with these people. They want a crusade and have a filter for how they interpret things that they mistake for reality.
It's like when people say "you make me feel x." The person feeling the emotion has a part in it, too. If they ignore it, the world "makes" them feel things. You don't have to accept any ideas you don't want to. In fact, even getting angry about it means part of you doesn't want to accept it.

^ I agree with that. People cannot think that they are the only ones who can define where things are coming from. Everyone has a part in that for sure.
Fem1 continued the argument until my friend from HS completely shut her down, which was glorious because honestly i admire that girl a lot she's literally the smartest person i've ever met and wayyyy chill about it.
I'll just leave this here, "The complete and utter irony of the entire argument is based on what 'others' believe that a sexual assault victim would or should react to these 'language triggers' which I find to be borderline offensive and a revictimization in and of itself...the point is that when it comes to these jokes that involve such a dark and horrible nature at the end of the day you walk away from them feeling the same way about those subjects as you did going in but the point of the matter is that humor and comedy takes something that isn't funny and and it allows us to laugh about them for a short while before we have the rest of the day to remember how sad and horrible they actually are. So I'll take my five minutes of relief, thank you very much."
Pretty much. There's a difference between making a joke to cope and or applying a joke to an absurd situation as oppose to making a joke to humiliate someone else. That's the line, for me.
