War, War Never Changes

There’s a reason that feminism isn’t taken horribly seriously, and it’s not all misogyny.

Some of it is, but not all. All those people who say “I believe in women’s rights but not feminism” or “I’m an equalist?”

I can guaran-fucking-tee you that they have had a bad experience with a feminist. Be it verbal abuse, intentional misinformation from a feminist, whatever. 

A lot of people aren’t feminists not because they’re misogynistic, but because online feminism is oftentimes fucking disgusting and toxic towards anyone who even slightly toes out of line.

Like me.

I’ve made some posts correcting bullshit statistics, and some other stuff. They can be found here.

I have TWO HUNDRED FOUR followers, and over the course of the last two weeks or so I’ve gotten these four nice messages, the most recent one today:

Two percent of those following me send anonymous hate.

Two percent.

That is a huge number when applied to the online feminist movement as a whole.

If you spread misinformation, you are part of the problem

If you verbally abuse people who disagree with you, you are part of the problem

If you swear at and abuse those who ask you simple questions, you are part of the problem

If you say “kill all men,” “castrate men” or use any variant on the term “male tears.” You are part of the problem.

If someone I love and hold very close hadn’t educated me about what feminism really is before I got these messages? You be your ass I wouldn’t be one. 

Like it or not, this vocal part of the online feminist movement exists. They send suicide encouragement to teenagers who correct bullshit statistics. And they need to stop.

If you send suicide encouraging anonymous messages on a blogging platform, or hate messages. fuck you. YOU ARE A PART OF THE PROBLEM.

i’m going for the sympathy like on facebook, my status is:

“R.I.P Mary Winchester, you were a supernatural lady and we will always miss you xxx”
