Quoting: It doesn’t actually matter if a feminist is mean to you–at least, not in terms of making up your mind about feminism. Feminism is based on a wide variety of observations and theories that are empirically testable. Either women (especially women of color) make less money than men for the same work or they do not. Either women are less likely to become CEOs and film directors and elected politicians or they are not. Either women are held to impossible and unfair standards of beauty that are impossible for most of them, especially for women of color and women who are not thin or able-bodied, to achieve, or they are not. A lovely essay, which uses some of the radioactive words hurled at women, but is none the less very worth the read. freethoughtblogs/brutereason/2014/05/09/but-a-feminist-was-mean-to-me/
