    LOL. I've lost one of my most ardent admirers on Facebook. It's gone from 'Wow! You're amazing, brilliant, eloquent & I agree with everything you say' to, following a piece she doesn't like 'I've just realised you're insincere, ill-motivated, know nothing & can't write.'

        This is why I am always wary of people who are highly, gushingly complimentary. Sometimes, that's just their emotional expressiveness, but often they're tribalists who latch onto people whose ideas they like & then feel personally betrayed when they have one they don't.

        This is why my favourite compliments go something like 'I don't agree with all/much of what you say but I'm always interested in reading it.' This means people are actually reading what I say & not slotting me in an ally box where I will at some point transgress & be vilified.

        I’ve just been reading that. She was incredibly scathing.

        Thing is she is presenting you with a lot of straw men, and being somewhat personal with it. No real attempt to understand what you are saying or see it from another perspective which is that some aspects of feminism can be disempowering.

        Well, what do you expect if you keep being rational and sensible and go inviting others to be the same? Will you ever learn ;)

        I had exactly this experience with several people on Twitter including ahem, some of a fruity variety. I don't trust gushing people, either.

        It's amazing how often ones ability to write is contingent upon the audience's agreement with the content.

        I've lost two actual in-real-life friends from Facebook for literally questioning a narrative (i.e. I made no statement of policy or opinion). I think it's part of the cost of having informed opinions.

        Many of your admirers/followers rarely comment. They mainly just read and enjoy.
