The plight of the Kagatob

[paulgiamatti]

I don't have answers to these things. I'm just a guy who happens to think feminism is valuable, but at the same time we're kind of a point where women's issues are becoming much more difficult to illuminate under the thrust of the feminist movement.

I think radical feminism is also important for this reason - to penetrate and expose these issues - but this is where things get messy and you end up with some really extreme, baseless views that call everything and anything misogyny, or the #killallmen hashtag and so forth. I don't agree with this, but at the same time I still think there are important issues that still need to be uncovered, and the whole GamerGate thing was from my point of a view a glaring, undeniable example of this. The fact that we're now dealing with this SJW meme is a glaring, undeniable example of this - not because of the people being called SJWs, but because of the people using that term to discredit people who actually have good reasons to speak out about societal issues.
