(33,224 posts)When I say stupid shit, I suffer the consequences, the loss of credibility, as an individual.
When the self-proclaimed spokespersons for feminists and right-thinking women everywhere does so, it hurts the team. When they then double-down by wrapping themselves more tightly in that flag and railing at the infidels who only call themselves feminists, it's fundamentally destructive.
Not that I really care personally, because I use your definition of feminist.
Had you provided a link to the post against which you tried to whip up female outrage, and didn't try to launch a full ideological assault on 9th grade science, you might have not experienced such immediate pushback about the transparent manipulative hyperbole.
