Confessions of a Recovering Tumblr Feminist

someone should have called me a fool, slapped me upside the head, and told me to climb back out of the social justice rabbit hole before I made it my grave.

I went to uni in a dangerous neighborhood where we sometimes heard or saw shootings from campus. When SJWs would talk about microagressions and other such nonsense, I wanted to drag them to a world they've never ventured into, just 2 blocks off of campus, and ask them, "Do you think the people here give a fuck about microagressions or your tender feelings? Stop pandering and start an after school program to get some of these kids off the street and into college."

Real violence was around us, but they just focused on their oblivious ideology.

Thank goodness this person realized this modern feminist ideology nonsense and rightfully disbanded herself from the delirious world of Tumblr SJW's.

I think there should be a television show based on Intervention, but it should be called "Intervention of a Social Justice Warrior"

The whole article I was waiting to hear what turned her around and made to see how ridiculous all her indoctrination was. We know how ridiculous SJWs are, what we don't know is how to get them to see it.

I wish she would've told us the exact moment when she turned heel.

I know what it was for me: The suicide of my uncle combined with some friends going full-SJW on their Facebook posts and replies to people, to the point of real world effects and awkwardness. Many bridges were burned.

Great piece, articles like this give me a sense of hope that maybe this new radical form of feminism doesn't pose too much of a threat, because it will inevitably destroy itself from within and people realize what it really is.

I wonder how that feels, when you suddenly realize what you've convinced yourself of, and how wrong it is. I wonder if all of the pieces fall into place, or whether you still have to put the puzzle together yourself.

I do. Often. It doesn't work.
