| Brii said: I hate how one person's inexcusable behavior is somehow justification to bash an entire movement and gender. Yes, women can do horrible, selfish things too. But it should be the individual who deserves the ire and disgust, not (genuine) feminists or females as a whole. Most of us aren't man-hating nutjobs, and it's only the outspoken few. Any time I see anything involving women that could possibly be considered scandalous, such as the Zero Suit Samus Alts, I see more people getting up in arms about the supposed complaints from 'feminazis' than I see people actually complaining (Tumblr notwithstanding, but if you go there, that's on you). It's frustrating seeing people on both sides being so irrational and uncompromising. That said, if this is all true, this women and the men she used/was used by deserve plenty of scorn. |
I agree with you. It's frustrating. Any difference of opinion and suddenly the insults start. "Lonely pervs", "feminazis", "mysogynists", "man-haters", it's all the same crap. The two extremes act like self-righteous children who restort to stereotypes and character assassination because they can't discuss points like adults. It gets us nowhere. I think that's why the "normal" people abandon topics like this, which is a shame.
