Bonobo (19,555 posts) Wed Feb 20, 2013, 02:22 AMJust as police need crime, dentists need cavities and firemen need fires...I wonder if the mechanism for radical feminist over-the-top rhetoric works something like that? Or maybe it is like Natural Selection. That which survives, thrives. Basically I am thinking that it may be like this. Over-the-top rhetoric insights angry retorts which then fuel the "proof" that there is anti-feminism (which they equate, of course, with sexism.) Naturally true sexism exists, but I think that all too often, the rad fems incite angry responses which are then used as fuel to keep going: "See? See? THAT is the Patriarchy kickback!!". Something like that. Please understand I am not talking of feminism in the broader sense at all (which I support completely) but rather the offensive, antagonistic radical sub-variety.

Some people, confusingly enough, just aren't happy unless they're complaining about something.That applies to a LOT of people, I would include many "MRAs" as well as "Radfems" in that. And of course, life is much simpler if you distill reality down to one great evil, one big conspiracy, one big problem and one easy solution.

Bonobo (19,555 posts) Wed Feb 20, 2013, 09:38 AM5. Yes, incite.Silly mistake. As for the post being dumb, that's your opinion. But I was really just wondering out loud. I don'd mind being wrong when trying out a new idea. It spurs thinking in myself and others and it is how ideas evolve. I may be insecure about some things, but intelligence has never been of them.
