History of Feminism
Related: About this forumThe top 10 shocking “truths” about feminism learned from #HowToSpotAFeminist
I don't do Twitter much. Apparently I miss out on a lot. Remember these are conservatives--the same assholes who want to take away our right to choose. Notice how much of the objections circle around how fuckable a woman is? The irony of misogyny. Then toss in MRA action and neo-nazi talking points (why this last startled me, I don't know--never let anyone say anti-semitism isn't alive and well--it pops up everywhere)
Happily, the hashtag is proving to be very educational. So I would like to share with you The top 10 shocking truths about feminism Ive learned from #HowToSpotAFeminist. You may want to take notes, as some of them are truly shocking indeed.
1) Feminists are fat and ugly with stinky, hairy armpits and no one likes them
2) Feminists have smelly vaginas that may contain sand, cobwebs
3) These ugly, fat, hairy, feminists with stinky armpits and cobweb-filled vaginas sometimes resort to ad hominem instead of serious man logic
4) Feminists are Jews, or theyre controlled by Jews, or, I dunno, something to do with Jews
5) Feminists dont know what real feminism is, and need to have some doofus on the internet who refers to women as cumsluts explain it to them
6) Feminists think they are equal to men, even though they sometimes need to have things repaired
7) Feminists for some weird reason think that rape is bad even though theyre so ugly no one would even want to rape them
8) Feminists arent real women, possibly because they dont like Hitler enough
9) They have kept alive by men for all of human life and still are with male taxes.

Thompson retweeted many responses from men's rights activists and other deeply confused people offering up negative stereotypes about feminists -- namely that they are all hairy, preachy harpies with "daddy issues" who exist to put men down.
However, actual feminists have co-opted the hashtag to spread awareness about what "the f-word" really means, and it's incredible. Some tackled the definition, while others took down stereotypes about what a feminist
