[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 419680, member: 57984"] They never get any push-back at all. And when they do, even of the most innocuous kind, they're shocked, freak out, either fall silent (as she did) or scream (as the more 'articulate' ones do). That just doesn't seem like the reaction of an oppressed demographic, but who knows? Then, as she starts to leave, one of the girls tells him to "just let it go..." as if he's doing anything. He's not even badgering her. And someone in the chat accuses him of "exploiting" her because he asked her a mild question and she sat there and drooled in near-silence. The chat commenter probably was doing the same thing at home, and therefore felt he was exploiting [B][I]her[/I][/B], too, over the Internet, because she couldn't answer either. The movement seems to be about denying female entitlement and privilege as a way of preserving -- and, ideally, expanding further -- that privilege. Whenever they're questioned about feminism, or "misogyny," at all, they're either dumbstruck or they break into those talking-points-riddled filibusterings we usually hear (but didn't happen here, oddly enough). This video isn't directly-related, but kind of interesting, especially since the message is delivered by a hot blonde you'd usually expect to be saying the exact opposite: [MEDIA=youtube]3yHAiobM_Jg[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
