      Katie Hopkins is a far right political commentator… highly doubt she considers herself a feminist.

      Which is why the original tweet didn’t say that. You should probably apologize to that other person for flying off the handle.

        They’re not trying to establish what’s correct, they’re crying foul at people correcting them because it causes confusion, which is their real goal.

        It’s their post, I can’t change what they said. It’s unfortunate they’re making feminists look bad by being racist. I mostly think the self victimization is the funny part.

          Except the original post of that image is “conservative”, not “Feminist”. Someone literally did change it, specifically to make feminists look bad.

            I’m down for that. Do you have a web archive link? I don’t want to gaslight anyone.

          Lots of “normal” feminists do that, too. Specifically, the ones that think “men” must be torn down in order to elevate women.

          Anyone who thinks a group of people that aren’t actually in power (not all men actually benefit from patriarchy/machismo) need to be torn down is just contributing to the rat race fucked up world they’re whining about.

          It’s not “men” that need to be torn down. It’s the systems that don’t distribute power equitably. These days, it should be pretty damn obvious most men are also not in the “-archy” club.
