I don't think they are anywhere near a majority, but they have a medium for the voice for crazy talk, emotional projection, and generalized shit- stirring bullshit.

Meanwhile, feminists are still getting shit done around the world.--no matter what the 'I'm not a feminist' pop star de jour says or does. Frankly, I ran out of fucks to give on that one-- because there is always pushback for sounding like an idiot. Have at it.

This doesn't mean there isn't a hard road to equality, it just means we have to hear more crazy, and even more entitled assholes.
