It's amazing to think that so many of today’s "feminist thinkers", such as Laurie Penny and Sally Hines, would tell nine-year-old me that my fear was my own fault, and all I had to do was not look. In fact, that if a man did expose himself, and I saw it, that this was somehow my fault.

Being feminists, it's the bogeyman they blame first, despite the trans people being the furthest thing from MRA you can imagine. If they did place the blame correctly, it would be on their own movement as they created this monster. They can't, not without crippling cognitive dissonance and changing what they think according to facts. So instead blame the bogeyman. It works, they don't have to change anything.

I don't think all feminists were suddenly like "Ah, shit you guys-- know what would absolve us from the perceived patriarchy? Cluster B dudes wearing wigs with their dicks out". This is multi-level shit here, Chip, like braindead levels of dismissing red flags. I think it's just a convenient front for something more sinister and has been for decades now. Somehow a chunk of those movements managed to turn an attempt at liberation into objectifying themselves for dick.

What part of 3rd and 4th Wave feminism was not replete with cognitive dissonance from the get-go, and fails to continue that tradition? From 'The Scum Manifesto' of whacko Solanas, to embracing the leftist love of the islamaholics, with their penchant for sawing bitches heads off with a dull butcher knife (or stoning them) for nearly any excuse, and treating them like slaves while alive...where is cognitive dissonance not to be found?
