If you are legitimately offended by their claims or think they're being absurd or outlandish the best possible thing you can do is ignore it and prevent it from gaining traction by not spreading it. There are right wing nutcases everywhere on the internet but when I see stuff like that I don't give them my click and I sure as shit don't encourage other people to watch or read their content even for the sake of pointing and laughing |
The thing is that for years a lot of people i know and myself have ignored this kind of things but now they are everywhere, i don't have problem with the preferences of people. In college i had friends that were openly "gay" or "homosexual", and some other that would clearly would be labelled as "effeminate" and girls that would be called "machorras" referring to them being "not feminine" enough, but mostly no one had a problem.
But now my "country in development" formerly referred as "third world country" is beginning to eat this bullshit from outside and begin to feed it from the inside. As some "intellectuals" from different fields have discussed, these groups are setting dangerous precedents by promoting laws and to make a lot of things subject to judicial processes. I'm not denying that women have to face a lot of problems, even today to reach equality, but when those "pseudo-feminist" groups come and tell that every men is a potential criminal, rapist etc. and so strangers should be forbidden to talk or look at women in the street because everything now is labelled as violence you know that things are being blow out of proportion.
For example a host from a public TV channel that mostly has educational content, had a Taxi driver put 48 hours in jail because he saw her and said to her "hola guapa", that is something like "hello pretty girl" or "hello beautiful", he didn't even use slang or insulting language or say anything else, the driver didn't do it on the move or ran away because he was stationed there, he was just greeting her, then she went to a nearby cop and have him arrested, all because according to the new wave of "feminists" everything is harassment. The idiots in the government want to be compliant to the demands from those groups to not pass as oppressive, even if that means fucking up social interaction and impose their opinions on everyone.
