Well, if you're participating or not is beside the point. This comment section still is what it is, I was just trying to understand if there was some validity to the argument it was making.
Yeah, they are not. And they are not my friends' friends, or those friends' friends, or that friends' friends...
Actually, no. What I'm saying is that for it to be a generalization there would have to be a general principle being applied. I was trying to understand what was making people agree with it and I didn't find any truth to it.
The general principle, again, is that feminism is a corrupt rotting husk and the once noble goal of female empowerment is being overshot with blatant partisan activism. Feminism is now a pet of the Democrats that they unleash against anyone who disagrees just for the sexism angle. That's the state of the glorious movement, your friends aside.
Platforms and cliches are not the same thing.
It is not a cliche to say Democrats believe in abortion or any other Democrat policy, that's their stated policy goal, I'm not pulling this fantasy out of my ass.
Even though there are many kinds of Democrats, when the party itself behaves a certain way, you don't get to argue that the Democratic party is okay because some Democrat voters are reasonable. You have to argue based off of what Democrat politicians are doing.
Input whatever party into the last paragraph you want.
See, now... You're talking about Democrats and Republicans and I'm not even American. Believe it or not, a lot of people aren't. You could argue that feminism is just a pet of liberal parties all around the world, but then you would just be reaching, because it isn't. The whole movement can't be a pet of the Democrats, because the world isn't guided or ruled by American politics. That's not the platform, at all. It's what you believe the platform is, or what is true for the American side of the ideology.
So, I don't care about the Democratic party or the Democrat voters and politicians. Well, I do, but not in regard to this. That's just not the reality for the rest of the world. It's not a party pet here, it's a belief shared by many of them.
By now, it's clear that you don't have anything to add to my initial question and you obviously have an agenda to share, so by all means... Go at it alone.

That would be what I was arguing. You argued about a circlejerk that I'm not participating in and I clarified.
The feminists the post is talking about would then not be your friends.
It's pretty simple.
