35. I feel it's a clever con to confuse people about what a feminist ks

I sometimes wryly think when I see the least malicious and more thick headed type of extremely online dude go on about feminists ..”do you even know what a feminist is? Your mom or sister is probably a feminist to the extent that most women want to live their lives free of harassment, intrusion and contribute to society however they choose to not by having babies, unless that’s what they are truly set on and imo give the baby a good life which every baby deserves etc”.
And if you mean your analogous extremely online antagonists who dissect pop culture like you do, they don’t represent all feminists. They represent extremely online feminists. A group I had no intention of joining since I hate the internet. And how it makes everything stupid.

And as a bread and butter feminist I will go finally work now.
