This is just awful. Women are the majority of victims of sexual crimes but now we don't even get to call ourselves victims, own our trauma, because we're 'undermining' ourselves? What about the incredible strength of those very same victims to keep going & to speak out?

Victims are victims. Conflating 'victimhood' with 'womanhood' is the problem. We are not a class of victims.

You are the one claiming women are "wallowing" victims. GC is a survivor befitting of conversation far superior to what you have to offer

No, I'm not! I'm arguing that we are much stronger than this & need to resist that narrative which comes from a feminist ideology rejected by the majority of women.

Feminist theory teaches us anything but victimhood. What are you even talking about?

It’s the ‘women as a class are victims’ which is wrong message to give women and girls. I’ve noticed it’s especially big in intersectional feminism. But radical feminism has this ‘women against evil men’ which isn’t helpful to us either. Not that there aren’t victims.

And that we can be victimised by anything from a wolf-whistle to a shirt with cartoon women on to a rude joke rather than, you know, assault or harassment.
