The stereotype of the ugly, unfuckable feminist exists for a reason – because it's still the last, best line of defence against any woman who is a little too loud, a little too political. Just tell her that if she goes on as she is, nobody will love her. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've always believed that part of the point of feminist politics – part of the point of any sort of radical politics – is that some principles are more important than being universally adored, particularly by the sort of men who would prefer women to smile quietly and grow our hair out.

Those with a vested interest in the status quo would prefer young women to act more like they're supposed to – to make everything, including our politics, as pretty and pleasing as possible.

Feminism asks men to embrace a world where they do not get extra special treats merely because they were born male. Any number of jazzy fonts won't make that easy to swallow.
