Re: Hypothetical #YesAllWomen Tweets from your fandom (TW: discussion of misogyny and sexual assault

Well, I don't disagree about women having all once experienced racism, whether they realized it or not. What I mind though is the way it's done, I mean, it's just so preachy and passive agressive. Just like the feminists who insist you have to call yourself a feminist if you care about women's rights.

There's not much passive about it, actually. And it seems like preachy might be dependent on the individual interpretation. I haven't found it preachy at all, but I know that people interpret these types of things very differently depending on personal experience.

You'd be surprised at how many men actually believe women have it easier than they do because they can have sex whenever they want! And it gets infuriating after a while. These aren't the people that will listen to whispers, you need to shout it.

And then you have guys like spoiled little prick who think you, as a woman, solely exist to hand out pleasure prizes to men, and ohmygod, you have a vagina, you control the vagina currency, how dare you! Being silent really isn't an option here.

It's not passive-aggressive. It's assertive. Yeah, sure, technically a correct application would be "YesMostWomen", but it doesn't have the same impact, and it has a very specific context and history, namely that it's a response to the "not all men" defense a lot of men use to derail discussions of misogyny. The idea is that everyone should be invested in eradicating misogyny, not just women - everyone is involved and everyone is affected, and that even by being silent and not saying anything, men passive condone misogyny.
