      Are quillette. Junk store bad ideas. You're drawing a false equivalence between being a victim and maintaining a victim mentality to support your Badly Drawn conclusions.

      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.

      And then you say that if such Behavior exists, it provides a legitimate excuse to dismiss the #metoo movement. Also not the case.

      We must evaluate claims on a case-by-case basis. Nuance prevents the witch hunts. But Nuance is also required in the evaluation of groups of people. You can't have it both ways.

      Your piece in Quilette. "... a cultural shift within feminism which has shifted the aim from female empowerment to status-by-victimhood." That's a baseless, unsubstantiated, overarching conclusion.

      Right. None of those things I linked to are happening? No rape culture in everything, no patriarchal oppression, no microaggressions & offence at scientists shirts, skinny models, being asked for a phone number. Feminism is all about women being strong and capable.

      So to encourage feminist to be strong and capable you label the entire new generation as overreacting hand ringers?

      There has been a shift in feminism & I do need to address it. KIndly get over it & prove me wrong.

          Prove you wrong? It's your claim. You're responsible for proving your claim. This is based on anecdote and your intuition? You heard about about some stuff happening somewhere? And you're now going to label an entire group of people? It's bad journalism.

          How old are you, el_blanc0? Some of us are old enough to remember what feminism used to be, and what it has become. Helen is correct.

          Old enough to know nobody cares what you think. You voted for Jill Stein, you're part of the problem. You sound like my dad pining away for the Glorious 1950s. Neither of those things ever existed.

          That is correct, I did not engage in insincere voting, but rather voted my conscience. Why would I vote for a neoliberal, neoconservative, corrupt fake like Hillary Clinton or an egotistical, ignorant blowhard like Donald Trump? And your ad hominem does not successfully dismiss

          what I have said. It simply demonstrates that you don't have any evidence or argument for the claims you have made. You don't remember the feminism of the 60s and 70s, when mainstream feminism was about equality and liberation, rather than androphobia, erotophobia, neuroses, and

          I just felt bad not commenting on all these tweets you put so much energy into. Is there supposed to be music playing during this one? Like Gloria Gaynor? Were you imagining Gloria when you wrote this? When feminist were so much better according to you?

          You're telling Helen and myself, who lived through this and witnessed the change, that we don't know what we're talking about. That's a bit presumptuous, to say the least. You haven't given any argument in support of your position, & what "evidence" you have cited is dated.

          Now you resort to rhetoric, as if that is in any way going to impress me or cow me into submission. I would suggest you come back when you're prepared for the dialogue.
