I just hope the crap they've been tossing out has gotten enough negative attention that their strategies don't completely work, it's too much to hope for that it won't partially work. Feminism makes a great scapegoat, and as you say, they've systematically demonized feminism for years. I remember when I started to see the term 'feminazi' here on DU as a pejorative.

I thought, don't you know that's a Rush Limbaugh term? But there it is, out in the general public mind as a 'thing'
