(6,199 posts)Go for it, of course, but bear in mind these are grown women who've bought into this philosophy by choice. You have roughly as much of a chance of converting one back to sanity as you have with a woman who's converted to Westboro Baptist, the FLDS or fundie Islam. This is what they've chosen to believe, for whatever reason, and they are absolutely convinced that they are in the right. It doesn't exactly seem like she's rolling in followers, so obviously it's not appealing to many.
MRA goofs will find ammo where they want to find ammo. The same thing I just said about converting back to sanity also applies to them- they have also chosen a hate cult because it appeals to them, and they are convinced they are in the right. You mentioned IBTP above- Twisty's maybe a little closer to sanity than Witchwind and certainly a better writer than Witchwind, but Twisty is also an extremist nut (just more skilled at mixing the truth in with the propaganda), so if you're worried about giving MRA goofs ammo, Twisty would be a better place to start. Especially since she has a much larger following.
None of these people are going to have any kind of breakthrough until they choose to do so. Marginalize the philosophy whenever you see it, educate as best you can, and generally let the world know that the philosophy isn't acceptable to either feminism or humanity in general. It's about all you can do.
