(5,402 posts)Because I expressed a lack of outraged urgency over your yet-to-be-named issue (though I did give examples of "eye rape, sexual fetishes of S&M/B&D, pornography in general, slut shaming" as examples of topics for faux outrage), you respond as if I am against feminism.
Did you even read my post? I was saying that the misogynistic comments on Fark.com are probably obvious examples of misogyny, but that "the same few posters" on DU attack fellow feminists just because they don't share the same level of outrage for certain issues (see above) that many feminists see as something other than misogyny.
It's exactly like a DUer attacking a fellow Democrat because they decline to swoon over a particular candidate. I remember kids, both boys and girls, like that on the elementary school playground who would try to ostracize others, because the independent child declined to do what the person ostracizing wanted.
While your approval may be nice, I will decline to twist myself into unnecessary anger just in the hope of gaining that approval.
