all those people who post in the hopes that their droning strawfeminist arguments will dissuade women from talking about feminism- well, it worked with me.
i used to post quite regularly on these boards but don't much nowadays. i started to taper off when i realised that i was constantly making arguments to affirm women's humanity to people who did not see it, and who did not care. e.g. explaining for the 5445562 time that being raped isn't like being burglarized.
i just don't have the energy anymore! even posting this, i know there will be those who will jump on me for not being more resilient, and maybe suggest my arguments must have been wrong, or weak.
it's funny, i am still active in real life, i just can't bear to get involved in online discussions anymore, they feel so tedious and predictable- women patiently arguing with facts while others assert that all the things which happen to disadvantage or harm women happen accidentally, coincidentally, or actually not at all.
ugh.
