I'm personally OK with most feminisms. I can even manage a few chuckles when I read stuff like the SCUM Manifesto. However, when I see a headline like "This is your phone on feminism", I figure there's a non-zero chance that the actual article will not be a substantive piece of work that examines modern tech through a feminist lens, but an ill-informed rant about SJWs using phones and social media to impose their "pomo cultural-Marxist PC agenda" by some reactionary dudebro who spends too much time fapping to alt-reich memes on Gab.
- pavel_lishin 7y agoI'm glad I was able to provide an enlightening counter-example; I hope you approach things with a more open-mind.
- Porthos9K 7y agoYou didn't provide anything of value to me. All you did was impose upon me the necessity of explaining myself, since it didn't seem to occur to you that it wasn't the word "feminism" that caused my trepidation, but the uncertainty of what I would find behind the headline.
- pavel_lishin 7y agoI meant the article.
- Porthos9K 7y agoI'm sorry. Thanks for clarifying. I suppose I should have figured that out on my own, but the bit about being "open-minded" must have rubbed me the wrong way. The closest thing I have to an excuse is that as a fat man working to not be fat any longer, I'm always hangry.
