The weird new way MRAs are attacking feminists

Any link to an article by Clementine #KillAllMen Ford should come with a 'trigger' warning! Please use an archiver next time, instead of linking directly to her trash.

Originally published on smh.com.au as 'Clementine Ford: Why the critique that modern feminists are 'superficial' is bunk'.

So presumably few people read the original article with its more sober title, and Ford's employer decided to slap a new clickbait title on the Western Australian version to scrounge desperately for a few more clicks.

Lossmaking Fairfax Media has put itself up for sale but no one wants to buy it. Hopefully they'll go the way of Gawker soon.

Please at least archive crap by clementine #KillAllMen when posting it.
I don't want to give her shit clicks.

So sayeth the delicate, cosseted white-as-Greenlandic-mountaintops girl who needs to go to El Salvador just so she can think she's scored a whiny-ass point about how oppressed she is. But thank God that the man-hating feminists don't exist, right? Because if they did, that would suggest something less-than-wholesome about sainted You, wouldn't it?

...the broad church of feminism

That is more correct a characterization than you could ever know, my dear. Most churches have a devil, but your particularly dogmatic branch of the church has 3 billion+ devils.

Seriously, my darling Clementine, but is this indignantly lazy screed really the best you can do?

It's also no great secret that the majority of men's genuine grievances with their place in the world would disappear if they got on board with feminism.

This would be like saying: "It's also no great secret that the majority of jew's genuine grievances with their place in the world would disappear if they got on board with Nazism". It's like telling men that their best route to happiness is to embrace their disenfranchisement. What a disturbing and so thoroughly out-of-touch statement to make.

As most former feminists will tell you, being a feminist most certainly did not address any of men's grievances. Feminism has historically ignored and defended countless issues which negatively effect men, especially when they benefit women. Even issues that affect men predominantly, are reframed in a way that only includes or focuses on women(often at the explicit expense of men). Male "feminist allies" sooner or later have to come to the realization that feminism not only does not care about them or have their best interest at heart, but is actively hurting them as well. If feminism was the answer to any of men's grievances, men would know.

The backlash Susan Faludi wrote of in 1991 is as fastidious now as it ever has been, and long predates the release of her eponymous text.

She must have bought a new thesaurus.

Not only does this ignore the huge wealth of activism being done by modern feminists to target men's violence against women, domestic homicide, rape and reproductive servitude (please note this recent news item about a teenager in El Salvador who was recently sentenced to 30 years in prison after the pregnancy she sustained from rape resulted in a stillbirth)

Claims that MRA attacks about feminists like her being petty and frivolous are ridiculous. Can only name one incident where feminism has actually done some good in the world and it turns out to be in a South American country.

LOL That's it? That's all she can come up with? What a fucking joke of a woman.

This is the greatest mystery. Because in working so vigorously against women

Women and Feminism aren't the same thing you dolt, but why should I expect any distinction from the likes of Clementine Ford? She's an ideological fanatic.

How does that hatemonger still have a platform to speak from?

JakeDC · 2017-07-11T13:21:18+00:00

Wow, each time I think CF has hit absolute rock bottom with respect to hatred, lying, and lack of logic, she finds a way to prove me wrong. In a weird way, I am impressed.

2017-07-12T09:44:03+00:00

She just spins whatever narrative she wants out of thin air. I couldn't even finish that drivel.

Is it with bats? IT'S WITH BATS ISN'T IT! (please be "with bats")....
