>"Internet feminism" represents pretty much the entire range of feminism; if you disproportionately perceive some particular segment, its probably because you have a disproportionate reaction to it.
Please stop playing with words, and please stop the thinly-veiled accusations.
Yes, the full range of feminism is represented on the internet, but far from proportionally. Some groups are distinctly louder, more zealous, and receive more "air-time" than others.
>I'm surprised you think that they haven't taken up the issue of men in nursing , since its been a fairly common theme in feminist circles (including on the internet) for quite a number of years
Indeed, though not in third-wave revolutionary circles that are the object of my criticism.
Please understand you're conversing with a feminist, and please understand that most people would be surprised by the (very valid) examples you bring up. This speaks to my original point: a very thin and radical sliver of feminism is over-represented on the internet and in the media, which in turn hurts our cause.
- dragonwriter 10y ago> Please stop playing with words, and please stop the thinly-veiled accusations. I'm not playing with words, and the accusation was direct and not veiled at all. Your description that internet feminism represents only the particular narrow subset that you claim is ridiculously unconnected with reality and only explainable by either a complete ignorance of the domain (which you deny, and I believe you), outright dishonesty (which I don't suspect, and, as the least-charitable interpretation, I wouldn't suggest even if I had suspicions in that direction), or the common human trait of magnifying the significance of things to which one has a particularly strong negative reaction.
