these same feminists have referred to others who don't share their opinions as "fun feminists" - as though not constantly presenting anger as the dominant mode is somehow a negative - because the use of "fun feminist" was presented in a derogatory way.

Some of these same have said that only cisgender women could participate in a feminist forum.

I didn't follow all these fights - I was caught in the crossfire, many times, not realizing battle lines had been drawn. I had iverglas on ignore for a loooong time, for instance, because interacting with her was such a negative experience. But I've been here for a while, so I eventually began to see how these things do down, often.

But how many others come here unaware and get that same treatment, I wonder? And how does that frame their responses?

I don't think the anger is one-sided and I don't think that those who claim they speak for women speak for all women, yet, if you disagree, your POSITION is not what gets attacked. The actual things you say in relation to a subject are dismissed and you are labeled in such a way to dismiss what someone says.

When people finally get fed up and give back what they get... funny that one side is given a pass for all the things they said and did if they happen to have more conservative views of issues like free speech, etc.

And, in fact, I have, in effect, been told to sit down and shut up because of posts related to the value of free speech even in regard to the issue of pornography. I can provide a link if you'd like.

So, while you dismiss what people say has been their experience, others know it from their own experience.
