>>38Maybe of a small majority of feminists. Most feminists I know aren't overly sensitive or get "triggered" easily, it's a popular strawman used to discredit feminists without actually criticizing what they say.
Not every argument is worth being addressed. The world is not logical or rational. It is a pointless fool's errand to try to avoid using political techniques to push political agendas.
Furthermore, you are right thqt modern feminism is a broad philosophy that has many people. It is always more practical to focus on the extremes (which, by the way, is exactly what feminists do). You are making unreasonable demands by opponents to feminism by trying to requiring them to address every feminist individually.
Furthermore, this should have been expected. The popular feminist media outlets are just as polarizing, generalizing. Of course a reactionary element would arise to object to being demonized. Even Marx admitted that it was perfectly logical and expected for the bourgeoisie to fight back for their own interest. To expect otherwise is delusional.
No, it's not. The vast majority of societies are patriarchal.
Now isn't that a dishonest attempt to conflate concepts that are no more than homonyms at this point. The patriarchal society where in the leader of the household is the father does exist of course. The patriarchy that exists in feminist theory is almost a conspiracy theory that gets blamed for any inconvenience. It is the feminist equivalent of complaining about the Jews.
That makes it no less traumatizing to those who have suffered it.
Oh well, people get hurt, have always gotten hurt, and always get hurt. The world, society, and culture exists for the majority, who are not traumatized. We cannot allow tiny fractions of people have their interests dominate over everyone else's, whether financially, politically, or emotionally. Rape victims will either get over their trauma or they won't, they have no more or less value than anyone else, and they cannot not be allowed any special privileges, punishments, or immunities.
