Feminists: Thanks for gently reminding me of my privileges as a man. This has made me more forgiving of white people. #TellAFeministThankYou

These were all wonderful and made me feel very warm and cuddly. But of course it wouldn’t be a discussion of feminism on Twitter if it didn’t bring out some HILARIOUSLY bad trolls, reproduced here for your amusement:

#TellAFeministThankyou for convincing men and women that self interest more important than interests of their children.

— Kelly Marie (@flyoverangel) February 12, 2013

#tellafeministthankyou for overreacting to every compliment and making a guy feel rapey for being polite

#TellAFeministThankYou for saying you want equality, but really wanting to be superior.

— Tyson James ♠ (@TheTysonJames) February 12, 2013

And perhaps the saddest of all:

I wouldn’t #TellAFeministThankYou. They need to get back in the kitchen.
