A female PhD Researcher offers a critique of her experience with Feminism

1. Polarised Thinking – If you’re not a feminist you’re against equality!

2. Overgeneralisation – All men are scum!

3. Filtering – ‘Citation Needed’!

4. Labelling – ALL men are ‘Toxic’!

5. Mind Reading – I’ll tell you what you’re thinking!

6. Catastrophising – Danger, Danger, Patriarchy!!!

7. Emotional reasoning – I feel it so it’s true! (unless you don’t feel it then it’s not)

This blog has only one entry. How did you find it?

The article looks great, but it's an anonymous blog post. I could easily see people disregarding it as being a work of fiction not actually written by a woman.

I'm afraid the generalisations (all men are scum/toxic) are often a lot more subtle, except for very radical feminists. Feminists even often use this to defend themselves: 'Oh no, if you're against feminism you must think we're all misandrists, we don't hate all men at all, just the sexist ones!' But in practice, this means: if you doubt feminist dogma's, if you behave too openly heterosexual, if you're too dominant or 'claiming' to the taste of a woman, etc etc, you're part of the 'toxic' mob. As a counterexample a small group of intimidated men 'proves' feminists like men, while at the same time shaming other men in the service of feminism.

Guys, it's official now. The Science Has Spoken! Institutional feminits needs to see a shrink.

How do we know this person is a PhD researcher? I'm not going to claim "fake" but this is hardly convincing without some actual, statistical analysis to back it up. Everyone is vulnerable to cognitive distortions, that's why CBT is so effective - I would only be interested in this critique if it were shown that feminists are especially prone to the distortions listed. To claim otherwise is to suggest feminists hold themselves to a higher standard than the general population, which (while attractive, I'm sure) is unfair and most importantly pointless.

Thank you for posting this. It’s my first blog and wanted to get it out quickly. I will be updating the blog page with my details sometime soon. In the meantime if you have any questions just comment on here. Thanks again.
