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.

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.
