Dear The Internet, This Is Why You Can't Have Anything Nice

33. Someone could find examples of such pissing contests among groups of liberals,

conservatives, greens, etc... but it's apparently some kind of crisis and a cause for obsessive concern where feminists are concerned. The scrutiny aimed at feminists is outrageous, but it's perceived as normal simply because it's so commonplace.

If some individual casitgates another, whether it's those feminists who are less tolerant of the unexamined adherence to patriarchal beauty standards (as opposed to "old" ... there's the patriarchy's propaganda oozing in) criticizing feminists who think such beauty nonsense is empowering... or whether it's those feminists who are pro-prostitution, pro-objectification, etc. criticizing feminists who think such traditions are damaging (and yes, some of the feminists who defend porn and prostitution are also old, just to further counter the propaganda)... these things are disagreements that people in all kinds of movements have.

Right wing women are subjected to sexist attacks, and any feminist would object to such treatment. They also support anti-woman legislation and attitudes, and as such any feminist would criticize them for it. The fact that some women choose to support right-wing women thinking they're feminists is not something which we can blame on feminists having safe places to avoid being swamped by bullying misogynists.
