This happened to me irl. They ask me to mess a bit with tarot cards and as they’re leaving they tell me “You’d go think about stuff before go you out dating. All men are predators”. When I ask them that sounds incredibly prejudiced they just respond with “It’s in the studies”. I was perfectly fine when feminism meant egalitarianism but thats is oughtright stupid vitriol that’s gonna help noone.

    Ah, the old classic of deliberately misrepresenting feminist assertions in the most extreme words possible, to stoke up manufactured indignation towards women rights, and then people acting incredibly dense and disingenuous when it is cleared up for them… I see 2014 is back.

      The deal is that this happened to me irl. They ask me to mess a bit with tarot cards and as they’re leaving they tell me “You’d go think about stuff before go you out dating. All men are predators”. When I ask them that sounds incredibly prejudiced they just respond with “It’s in the studies”.

        You may want to include this context in your original post, as without it, it comes across like you are making a blanket statement about the blanket statement.
