people have been demonizing it for most of the AD years i think but it’s quite pleasant really. are there any proven negative effects?

    Ah yes, feminism, an ideology that consists solely of extremist views. I’m not even well versed in feminism and I know that Andrea Dworkin is quite extreme and is a polarizing figure.

    If you have reduced feminism to the views of a single extremist than you really need to get your shit together.

      It doesn’t consist of all extreme views but many mainstream feminist ideology had extremists views.

        Where did you learn about feminism? Did you study it? Have you been involved in it? Do you actually have any touchstone with it? Or, maybe, does it maybe all come from sources that want to portray it negatively, because accurately representing it may undermine your faith in them?

        Some people want you to need them, and the way the do this is by creating a monster that is theoretically attacking you. You need them to defend you from it. You just have to recognize that the monster isn’t real and the problems they’re telling you about are actually to cover up actual issues they are creating.
