I think some of this comes from the way accusations of "Misogyny" are thrown around by some within feminism for any kind of criticism towards a woman for a position she may have on a subject or claim she has made even when the criticism is on the subject in question, has valid points and is obviously free of insults etc.
Even if the criticism is in error resorting to attacks and accusations just because it came from a man who dared to critically analyze a claim is poor methodology
I have personally had several experiences with this during discussion's on one form of media or another.
I can be discussing in detail anything from a gendered perspective of the social systems in Scandinavian countries to my views on Gaming or the recent #Gamergate issues with a man who honestly and politely disagrees with me and presents counter evidence and points. Only to see a wave of posts from feminists immediately posting accusations of Misogyny, sexism etc against him simply for doing so.
Obviously there are the male versions as well who are as bad or to be honest worse that troll at the same time so it becomes a battlefield.
Not only is it annoying because it makes a interesting debate on many issues a hate filled shouting match with no substance but it also detracts from actual acts of sexism or Misogyny.
It certainly turns me away from identifying as a feminist as it does many others and i find that very upsetting because feminism was always taught as being better than that when i was growing up.
The narrative that all "gamers" or at least all those in support of this #Gamergate thing that happened last year are "Misogynists" is a good example of what i mean.
Again a few male gamers are likely sending a lot of unpleasant things to women along with non gamers doing it but i have been a gamer for 10 years and never had any kind of harassment on this scale, typically it comes in the form of some guys being flirty or overly considerate and out of those i find the latter to be the most annoying and have a reputation for occasionally doing a bit of blue on blue to any new guys in our group who are unaware of my feelings on the matter.
On more occasions than i can count i have had to prove i am a woman to feminists who refused to believe me because i wanted discussion rather than pointless accusations and after i do i am either ignored or insulted as well.
Anyway i was searching google on this issue and clicked a link that brought me here so HI and sorry if i helped raise a dead thread but i only noticed the date on most of the posts after i had typed most of my post.
