how we are being asked to do so when we have the tools to do the exact opposite. I will say it again, women are strong and capable of handling ignorant morons, they are not children, you are so right Polly. AND it appears that if a woman dares to hold a different opinion she is somehow portrayed as the enemy.

Thankfully this seems to be confined to the internet because the women I know in RL are way stronger than this image that is being pushed online. I don't know where it came from. But it is harmful to the women's movement and gives fodder to the Limbaughs of the world who jump all over this kind of thing and use it to portray feminists as people who want to control even how people speak. It's a shame really.
