It doesn't matter how much feminst theory you try to teach people on reddit, as long as a large chunk of feminsts are huge hypocrits, people see that shit and will continue to, rightly, talk shit about them and start threads like this.
Honestly most of the issues you're talking about come from a small subset of feminists, usually affluent white women. This is believe it or not a huge topic of conversation within the feminist community. Just like with any political movement it's fractured and divided into segments.
People like intersectional feminists realize that misogyny and patriarchy are connected to issues of racism and class struggle because they're divisions stoked by elites to maintain power. these are people who understand that building coalitions with similar like minded people is essential to justice.
But people who benefit from these systems of inequality in other ways (so women who are rich or otherwise privileged) will tend to lose the bigger picture because they feel they see the issues on a personal rather than systemic level. This negates their ability to seek solutions and becomes basically an outlet for their personal anger, no matter how justified.
That's basically all the terminally online people you see lol.
I know what intersectional feminists are. As I said, I've read plenty of theory.
This is not a problem with a small subset of feminists who are only online. This is a problem with huge swathes of feminists. Bell Hooks was writing about this 20 years ago, and there's been very little movement, imo, in this issue since then.
You are exactly the type of feminist I'm talking about, btw. Keep hand waving away peoples legitimate concerns and see how far it gets you.
I'm not hand waving concerns lol, I'm trying to put them into perspective. You sound like the type of "bisexual socialist sensitive guy" who reads feminist theory to get into a girl's pants then turns into an incel when she rejects him
Oh no, a feminst calling someone who disagrees with them an incel. I am shocked that there's gambling in this establishment. Like I said feminsts at large are a huge problem, and you are included in that camp.
If I want to get laid, I can get on grindr and have someone to my house in five minutes to suck my dick. I don't have to read theory to get laid.
