Why the women's movement has failed [View all]

A woman with a microphone dares to speak out about equality for women. Immediately men start parsing every word and "instruct" said woman on what she meant, why she was wrong, and what she should have said.

Lots of women can't jump on the bashfest fast enough, parsing and criticising every word, deliberately misinterpreting the obvious meaning of what the woman said.

Well played. Subject is no longer equality for women, but "white women's privilege."

Score:

mysogynists: 1
equality: 0
