Ignorant anti-feminists…ew.

I don’t know why I let these things bother me. They just do. Not because of the anti-feminism–that I can deal with. It’s uninformed anti-feminism that pisses me off.

Okay, as a female, I can admit to the fact that feminism was, at one time, an extremely valid and helpful concept. After all, now we can own land and vote – I’d say that’s pretty darn great. However, as with most ideas, feminism has run it’s course and become the haven and weapon of fat, ugly, lonely people (women, in this case) everywhere.

My question is–is this our fault? Is feminism doing a poor job of letting younger women like this one know what feminism is actually about? Now this person may just be a jerkie, but there are plenty of women who accept anti-feminist stereotypes as the truth. Should feminists be working harder to debunk those myths or are some folks just lost causes?
Just putting it out there.
