This is the worst discourse strategy. Makes it incredibly easy to shrug of feminist arguments.
This is not radical or helpful as in changing discourse and help make the world a better place. It just helps to feel very radical.
Those are two entirely different goals and the left is self marginalizing and generally loosing a lot because we mix them up too often.
Also you should not censor this critique, so please don’t
it is either edgelord useful idiots who think saying edgy words make a fuck all of a difference or they want to let out steam because of patriarchy, or a prolonged and sustained psyop to completely discredit ferminism or to divide progressives/the left.
I really agree with you. This kind of discourse we see here in the comments are really harmful for everybody. Men and Women might be sympathetic to feminist arguments and want to learn are pushed away by memes calling all men rapists or even dangerous murderers. Think how you would react if you stumbled into a really misogynistic online forum like some incel forum - you’ll think “incels are bunch of idiots” and well, that is exactly what these memes here are doing for online feminism.
