While I disagree, as most of MRA does, on the basic need for "feminism" at all (at least, feminism as defined by the actions of most current feminist bloggers and thought leaders), I think this lady mades a lot of good points.

Namely, how the feminists need to create jabs, derogatory labels (mansplaining), and unnecessary vitriol in the place of cool, clear arguments hurts their cause. She calls out sites like Jezebel and the purposelessly antagonistic nature of facebook graphics as too snarky to actually convince anyone of anything.

I would argue that feminists have no alternative to snark - I mean, if I sit and explain to a feminist the logical reasons for a gender wage gap, or how the divorce court system tends to be unfair towards men because it was created in a faraway, flawed past, Feminism has no comeback. It has no "here is why your points are wrong", it has only "you're points are wrong because you are just an "evo-bio" guy who thinks he is an expert because he took a freshman biology course" or "what you say is wrong because you are just a "nice-guy tm" or a "privileged white male". So these snarky strawmans are all that feminism has - if they give up snark, then what is left of the movement? Emotional appeal and bullshit statistics is all feminism has, so when logic is brought up, what will they say if not snark?

Every movement, I suppose, does fall victim to the laziness and easiness of discounting someone's opinion via snark. But we should take care that we never let kneejerk insults replace our capacity for rational thought. Acknowledge the correct points that feminists make when they make them and do our best not to turn them into memes or caricatures.
