Okay, seriously, where are all these mean and "cunty" feminists at? I mean, yes, I've seen some angry women in the media, but most of the ones I've met in real life and in fandom are not assholes. Most of them are pretty reasonable and diplomatic about making their points. Unless, of course, they're faced with something purposefully offensive and disprespectful towards, not only what they believe in, but to them as people. Then, YEAH. They get mean. But, they really, really have the right to get mean in response to something like that. I'm sorry, but yes. We have a right to feel angry and offended by something like that secret.

And, you know. Some people are just not nice. It has nothing to do with whether or not they're feminists.

[case]

I don't know, I assume they're somewhere, since everyone's talking about them?

And sure, you have the right. Go for it? No one's stopping you. People are just saying, if you're trying to convince people to see things your way, that's not the best way to go about it. If you're not trying to convince people, what's the problem here?

Who said anything about being mean = being a feminist? What?

[mildmay.livejournal.com]

You, and others saying that feminists need to stop being mean and cunty? You're associating meanness with feminism (whether you mean to or not, that's what it looks like you're doing). They're not related. If someone who happens to be a feminist is bitchy in the way she (or he!) debates, then it's the individual's problem, not a problem of the movement itself. That's what I meant.

And, while I'm sure there are some bitchy feminists out there, there's a good chance that some women are being called cunty just because someone else doesn't care for the points they're making. It happens.

[case]

We're not saying that feminists need to stop being mean and cunty. We're saying mean and cunty feminists should stop being mean and cunty because it's not helping their (and other feminists') cause.

Don't misunderstand: we're not relating the two, only talking about the ones OF the group that ARE that way.
