Quote:Quote:
Well, “the personal is the political,” as Women’s Liberation pioneer Carol Hanisch famously proclaimed, and this sort of identity-based narrative approach to politics — i.e., offering one’s personal biography as the justification of a radical ideology — has multiple consequences. Forming any kind of coherent movement becomes difficult because everyone has an unlimited psychological investment in the movement, and must fight to make the movement reflective of their own identity. This was the history of Women’s Liberation in a nutshell, familiar to anyone who has read Alice Echols’ Daring to Be Bad or Susan Brownmiller’s In Our Time.
If civilization had been left in female hands we would still be living in grass huts. - Camille Paglia

Hey remember when feminists decided Gamergate was a hate group, hell-bent on destroying the lives of women, because some teenagers sent some SJWs abusive tweets? Remember when a movement was defined by the actions of a few idiotic adolescents?
I guess they'll be sticking with that logic with this Joss Whedon thing right?
...r...right?

^ Do you even need that clarification? It's a group of women.
They can't even pick their children up after school without it turning to status games and exclusionary cliques in the car park.

I've just watched this movie and it's mind-boggling that someone has the capability to be offended over this. She came across as a very balanced and likable character to me.
