It’s not that Eric Schneiderman (the now-former New York attorney general accused of abuse by multiple women) pushed me over the edge. My edge has been crossed for a long time, before President Trump, before Harvey Weinstein, before “mansplaining” and “incels.” Before live-streaming sexual assaults and red pill men’s groups and rape camps as a tool of war and the deadening banality of male prerogative.
Seen in this indisputably true context, it seems logical to hate men. I can’t lie, I’ve always had a soft spot for the radical feminist smackdown, for naming the problem in no uncertain terms. I’ve rankled at the “but we don’t hate men” protestations of generations of would-be feminists and found the “men are not the problem, this system is” obfuscation too precious by half.
But, of course, the criticisms of this blanket condemnation of men — from transnational feminists who decry such glib universalism to U.S. women of color who demand an intersectional perspective — are mostly on the mark.

It is long past time to play hard for Team Feminism. And win.
'Womyn' such as this bitter, hateful, manless hag are an embarrassment to all of us Real, Normal, man-admiring ladies everywhere. I was a junior high student during the raging 'women's lib' days, and as I get older I'm discovering (too late) the many things in life, and in society, that Feminism has stolen from me.
Like what?
What has feminism stolen?
“Extra wide brushes enable you to finish the painting much faster.”
Yes and an eighteen inch roller is much faster yet.
As it would have been said in South Carolina back in the sixties about such a situation, “If she ain’t a man she shore missed a damned good chance!” That looks about as feminine as Andre the Giant.
