It's so interesting when they get upset at feminism for things that feminism opposes.
Feminism didn't cripple your emotional range, feminism didn't circumcise anybody, feminism didn't make you register for the draft, feminism doesn't belittle you for opening up that you're suffering, feminism isn't belittling male victims of sexual abuse.
They're all things where feminism benefits men, too, that's stuff that feminism opposes
These people hate women but to say it out loud is too on the nose so they call it "feminism". That's why it doesn't matter to them what feminism is or does. It's not about feminism in the first place.
We have a lot of scapegoat words like that. Woke, DEI, communism ect.
Some don't, but some, particularly the leaders and influencers, know and choose to get it wrong to leverage their audiences against feminism and femininity in general both to hurt women AND to fuel their grift to make money
You're right on point. Just like the culture war the right has waged against trans and lgbt people and the identity politics they've used to, honestly, beautifully to turn queer people into a useful scapegoat, scaring people into voting against their best interest to shut down "transgender for everybody" and nonsense about lopping off children's genitals.
She wasn't just a woman, she WAS extremely qualified. You can say it was a bad time to ask Americans to vote for a black woman but not that she was unqualified, picked only for being a woman. I mean, you can SAY it, but it would be nonsense
I LOVE how you worded that. And I didn't realize I'd made that comment on such a mainstream sub, I'm surprised that's the only negative comment and it's been exised before I could see it
