    Is that reaction actually increasing the misogyny though? I kinda expect it’s just bringing out into the open what is already there tbh

        Instead of complaining that feminists speak out, why not call out the actual problem: the misogynists? Be a “staunch advocate” and have the conversations that women can’t.

        “This rape would be going a lot better for you if you’d just stop struggling so much!”

          Immediately jumping to a rape analogy isn’t fair or apt, you can always make someone else’s argument appear dumb when you jump to an EXTREME

          “All men are fucking douchebags and should die” -> “if they already think I’m a douchebag and the other side will be nice to me…”

          Don’t get me wrong, I understand that that’s an extreme but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen either. I’m not saying I agree really with either side and “turning down the feminism” is a kinda weird thing to say to your student but I have heard multiple different times of someone who saw how much they seemed to be hated and drifted to the right as they were accepted there (even if for the wrong reasons).
