Thunderf00t's Take on the #cancelcolbert controversy

Thunderf00t is on a one man crusade calling these idiots out on their bullshit, and I respect the hell out of him for it, great guy. Not all us British people are idiots like Piers Morgan!

Thunderf00t is great but I have to disagree with how he begins his argument.

He blames Third Wave Feminism (people like Watson and co.) on Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachman.

Now, I HATE Palin and Bachman. If all women were like Palin and Bachman, I'd be VERY VERY gay.

But are Palin and Bachman responsible for Third Wave feminism?

Well, obviously no. Third Wave feminism is almost exclusively a movement of the left. Official feminism rejected Palin and Bachman regularly. In addition, Third Wave feminism's roots go far deeper than Palin, so I can't say she's to blame.

Look, I hate Palin and Ms. "I Am Not A Witch," but blaming conservative women for third wave feminism? That shows a complete ignorance of the intellectual history of third wave feminism as well as a desire to blame "the right" (however defined) for everything bad.

I usually don't like Thunderf00t's style (too combative for me usually) but in this case he nailed it.
