That Asshole Is You | Clarissa's Blog
If you bring a case of actual patriarchal aggression to the attention of a feminist, and it is the slightest bit complicated or you express anguish over how to act, they will dismiss you as being not at all feminist, because you did not take the easy way out, which is moral condemnation and self-righteous posturing. It's those qualities they identify readily with "feminism". But to try to understand something more deeply, or to try to handle things without laying the blame, even whilst still intellectually identifying patriarchal dynamics as the enemy and this they will reject..
Instead, they demand extreme emotionality and great moral posturing as proof of a "feminist" identity.
