Anybody who understands how learning works can tell you that pointing out the good jobs alongside correcting the bad ones works a hell of a lot better than just constantly going, "No, that's wrong." People are so inundated by a sexist society that they don't always know why something is offensive, nor do they know how to make it less/not offensive. In a feminist space, yeah, criticize away. Most people there are going to know what you're talking about. But out in the rest of the world, it helps to appeal to the audience instead of alienating them by making them think that they can't get anything right.

That aside, my comment wasn't a critique of feminism, it's a critique on critical reviews in general. It just happens to apply to a feminist topic this time around.

This isn't just true of reviews for media. This is true in management, teaching, dog training, parenting... pretty much any time you need to convince someone to change.

Have a cookie, anon.

i don't have an issue with pointing out something that is legitimately good. my problem was in response to the wording "praise steps in the right direction," which i took to mean any step, no matter how minuscule or basic. perhaps that's not quite what you meant, but that's how i read it. this may be because i'm used to (and tired of) seeing women enthusiastically praise men or media for not being complete sexist douchebags.

i mean, yes, positive reinforcement can help, but i think it'd be equally ridiculous to expect a boss to look at a horrible employee and go "well, you lost us a million dollars, you managed to break every piece of equipment in this office, and when you tripped me earlier i broke my foot... but you tried! and you came into the office on time today!" in the same way i don't think people should be obligated to praise any bare-minimum not-awful (as opposed to genuinely great) thing.
