We're winning. There's a constant danger of backsliding but we're pretty damn far ahead. All this MRA and "ironic" sexism is the deaththroes of a bunch of bros who realize they're on the losing side. Literally the only place they think they can kick women out of is their parents' video game strewn basements.

Did you think feminism would mean a magical world where everyone reads progressive fiction because that's never happening. And that's fine. I don't mind if some woman reads crappy romance novels about bodice ripping Mounties. She has the right to read what she wants.

This.

Part of feminism is respecting women's choice to live as they see fit. If they choose to read formulaic romance fluff, or any other silly (or not-so-silly) fantasy, that's their choice.

True! This MRA stuff is definitely a sign of insecurity from a group of men who want to go back to the bad old days, the same way as neo-nationalism is a sign that society in general is becoming less racist (slowly).

I don't care if women like cliched bodice rippers. I'd even read them myself if I could find a good one.

I even gave that 50 Shades of Gray a go (or at least the fanfic that inspired it, I wouldn't pay my good money). It was the grammar and appalling writing that put me off long before anything else. I'm adult enough to be able to tell fantasy from reality, thank you very much.
