Nice, complete misunderstanding of feminism and what most people argue for. Nice attacking of straw men. Nice rant for the status quo. I’m sad now.

  Please elaborate. There's no such thing as a "misunderstanding of feminism". Feminism hasn't been a coherent movement in decades. It's a highly stratified network of ideologies and schools, some of which are only vaguely united under the pretext of social justice, but which have radically different views. Some are even openly and proudly transphobic. I'd like it if we stopped pretending feminism is some zenith of civil rights. It did help in the past, but it is now worn out and has long been a parody.

    Feminist thought is diverse, sure, but there are certain schools of thought that are by far more widespread. This article misrepresents those. I do not know any feminist, for example, who would ever think of telling a woman to dress more gender-appropriate. Such gender policing is abhorred and practically unheard of. It’s just so weird to read about that as some sort of feminist idea. Also, feminism is super-rad. Proud feminist!

      The most widespread one at the moment is postmodern feminism, which is a complete joke. I don't know what exactly do you mean by "gender-appropriate", but there are feminist movements which embrace traditional ideas of femininity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipstick_feminism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipstick_feminism I'm assuming by "super-rad" you're trying to say you're a super radical feminist. Good to see you're proud of your little ideology.

        Holy shit. Please stop seeing demons everywhere. And work on improving your view of reality. It’s severely distorted and makes little sense. Also, deliberate obtuseness is not very cool.

  A woman said something you disagree with. Such a tragedy!!
