What hyperbole? Give me a fucking break.... This is exactly the kind of shit I'm talking about. There is so much entrenched, pervasive violence against women of all sorts every day in this country, beginning in childhood that the WHO and the CDC recognize it as a serious epidemic. Good fucking lord, nearly every girl child in this country has been harassed on the street by the time she's 16, and for a lot of them at age 8 or 9. But yeah, that's no big deal. What a bunch of whiners.... One out of every sixteen girls has her first sexual experience as a rape. 40% of men have admitted to pressuring girls and women into doing sexual things they don't want to do - and that's just the ones who will admit that to a researcher. I could spend all GD day feeding you statistic after statistic that shows just how assholey it truly is to characterize any of that as hyperbole.

And how exactly was Stanton a terrorist? Virginia Woolf did not hate men - she hated men who were entitled assholes (which is a lot of them - especially in her day). I'll give you Dworkin as a man hater, but talk about hyperbole on the rest.... And who exactly are you quoting? Manosphere misogynists who lie about everything and paint themselves as the “real victims” of society”

Plus, there's something like 17 different types of feminism, comprising millions of people over hundreds of years. Talk about an evasive tactic so you don't have to actually deal with things you'd rather not bother with by lumping all feminists in together and deciding that 6 women speak for them all. 🙄

It's doing something to me to continually act like women are just fine and that they are unfairly demonizing men over nothing - because it's not nothing, and it's not demonizing to point that out.
