Thunderf00t vs. Feminism

[FatAndFaithless]

I was wondering something though, because the two most outspoken feminists I am friends with also have the habit of dating real assholes. Now a sample size of two doesn't really tell you anything. Anybody else notice this trend in their real life friends?

Not personally. My wife had some bad relationships prior to me but more out of self-esteem issues she had at the time than her feminism. Other outspoken feminists I've known seemed happy with their partners.

It may be the small sample you know have a "victim mentality" streak in them. Victim conscious self-pity is not inherent in feminism but would be potentially compatible. Perhaps they pick men who fulfill their expectations and then use their experience to justify what they believe?

Just a shot in the dark.

Generally speaking, when we notice we get into the same relationships over and over, there's a reason.

Or hell, the fact that they've dated assholic guys might have contributed to their outspoken feminism.
