I'm pretty sure the screeching harpy feminist stereotype goes alllllll the way back to the Reagan era. It all started as a mudslinging campaign, propaganda meant to damage the movement. And look at the damage it's done. It's 2021 and feminists are still viewed by the public as this caricature--only now with neon hair.

Oh the screeching harpy feminist stereotype goes all the way back to the suffragettes, seriously. They were really, really hated by so many people. Rowling's treatment by the press, and people framing feminists as "hysterical harpies" for worrying about women and children's rights and safety reminds me of the treatment of the suffragettes. The problem now is TRAs hijacked the feminist movement, are actually screeching harpies, and now are the face of the movement.
