Two events. First was when I went to a university LGBT club out of boredom and curiosity. The place was run by humorless intersectional feminist lesbians ready to group pounce on every "microaggression". That was my first and last interaction with Organized Gay.
Second I was driving home at 3am around 2012. I had NPR or something on. Music would put me to sleep, so I needed to hear talking. There was a guest on. This woman was every bit the smug, cackling, man-hating feminist cartoon witch you hear about from the Rush Limbaugh types. I looked this woman up when I got home. She wasn't some loon they pulled from the depths of an obscure Women's Studies department. She was the HEAD of the National Organization for Women. Scratched the surface and discovered that feminism is every single bit the cult of bitter, man-hating mentally ill women and predatory men the Eeeeeeevil Right portrayed it as. And then I wondered what else they were correct about.
Any digging into problems that either of these groups bring up unearths evidence that modern western leftist women (and even some of the more right-leaning ones too!) are living this absurd self-aggrandizing lie that they were some oppressed slave underclass of abused helpless butterflies until about five minutes ago, and somehow through all of the generational trauma of being chained to stoves and nearly killed by their brutal orc husbands for six trillion years they're soldiering on with a stiff upper lip. When I look around all I see is government services, quotas, social censure, and the most pampered, protected, over-privileged demographic the world has ever seen, and they're STILL Just. So. Oppressed. Women were -never- oppressed. Ever. Not in any society, not for longer than a historical eyeblink. But man are they good at bitching about how extra hard they have everything.
