Yes, the OP was one isolated incident. But it's part of a pattern. So, sure, OP might be objectionable to feminism because of that one incident. Me, I object to feminism because the story OP told isn't surprising at all. I hear about stories like that all the fucking time. How often do things like this have to happen before you people acknowledge it?
Quote:Quote:there's something wrong with certain feminist circles and until the moderates address the elephant in the room, the rest of the world is going to continue see them all as uptight bitches.I'm part of the rest of the world, and I recognize that there are those who take it too far, and those who have valid points, so I have to disagree.
Yet your first response in this thread wasn't to acknowledge that there are crazy, extremist assholes within feminism and that many of them are actually leaders within society, college professors, authors and generally well respected, which puts them in positions to do a lot of damage. No, your first response was to condemn the person who was telling his story. Pay attention to the first part of Jaclynn Glenn's video here and tell me if you can understand what she means: instead of acknowledging he was wronged, you immediately jumped on the defensive. Do you understand the impression that gives everyone else here?
