You create a strawman by hand-waving all new feminists into the category of would be victims and then admonish them for some imaginary behavior. That is not the case. There is no data to support that conclusion.
-
What? Consider me to criticising people who disempower women and demonise men and not criticising people who treat us all as equally competent adults whether they identify as feminist or not.
-
That's the opposite of what you did. You're victim-blaming feminists. "...society could be excused for doubting women’s ability to evaluate danger and cope with public life." WTF? This is a version of the "you better not act like that in public" victim shaming.
-
When people conflate sexual violence with normal interaction? Yes. please don't act like that in public or private.
-
See, there you go again. What do you mean when you say people? How big is this group? If you're talking about a person, or anyone in general, I agree with you. But don't speak for a wide variety of individuals by lumping them together as feminists.
-
If you oppose this kind of feminism too, that's great.
#NoTrueScotsman won't help tho. Just promote the feminists opposing this victim-mentality if you can find them. -
But again, you're saying that the majority of feminists support this particular flavor of victim mentality that you specifically Define. That's an unsubstantiated claim.
