You’ve said this so perfectly to me. I’m actually a late educated feminist. I grew up with the belief of “choice” feminism, not understanding that the patriarchy had essentially formed my choices for me, not understanding privilege (being a middle class white girl) and definitely doing the “I’m not a feminist because

I don’t think of this as the “current iteration” so much as the same thing that happens in every other demographic: a handful of extremist idiots making the rest of us look bad.

Thank you. I feel exactly the same and it makes me sad and it’s also why I think I’ll increasingly be using “gender equality” instead of “feminism”.

I'm feeling the exact same way.

I’m a life-long feminist who at 34 is starting to feel very much on the outside of this tent. What the fuck are these student’s going for here?

What part of this current iteration of feminism do you most identify with? The policing? The intolerance to differing views? The clinging to victimhood? I see none of myself in it.

I feel guilty. My 2nd thought (my 1st was “oh for fuck’s sake”) was “I can’t wait to read Laura Kipnis’s book about this.” I love her writing and thought Against Love was just amazing.

It is a stunning example of feminism devouring itself.

Read this earlier, and just, wow.

I mean, I was an idiot and a bad person in college too. But I never felt like I had the ability to try to ruin somebody’s life because... well, not because they didn’t agree with me, exactly, but because they agreed with me, but not on every exact thing.

Title IX is one of the greatest

Oh FFS....

Sigh...this is why we can’t have “nice” things. Agree or disagree, fine. But really, this kind of thing just adds more fuel to the Rush Limblah army—”Feminazis!” he’ll cry, while sitting on his mountain of money. And the real issues will be swept under the rug as usual.

Once again proving that college students have WAY too much time on their hands.

No. Just no. Today was going so well!! Just...no.

Eh, I’ve been contemplating paying for ad-free Pandora after a McDonald’s ad came on mid-sex recently. It’s a clever tactic by Pandora, to get ads just annoying enough that $5 a month seems preferable.

i love felonious monk’s bits, they’ve been consistently hilarious. i’m not a fan of when he has people talking for inanimate objects (though bag of blood was pretty funny)

they didn’t think to sort a lot of things out

I’m sorry - did they not think to sort this kind of shit out before the launch?

I think you mean Aloha is a masterpiece.

This is a masterpiece btw, Bobby

10/10 would read this again. The actual movie? I won’t see it once.
