That's kind of a non sequitur, the thread is about whether 100 years of feminism have on balance made women's lives better, and I'm saying the answer is yes. Whether third-wave feminism has jumped the shark is a different question.* And I didn't say women were absolutely prohibited from a technical education in 1920, but I sure like our odds better in 2020.

*For the record, my feelings about it are mixed. I'm over here instead of on reddit because, for example, I think all the gender stuff is completely ass-backwards.

Bro I know this is a self-drag but no one on this website is a normal person.

Right? Curse feminism for letting me get a technical education and hold a job that pays well enough for me to comfortably support myself, save for the future, and not be dependent on anyone! What agony having to choose what man to date only on the criteria of whether I like the guy as a person and enjoy spending time with him! What pain knowing that if a man I'm in a relationship with decides to hit me, I can walk away and not be left in poverty!

You know, I've honestly wondered if that's another phenomenon that leads women to slash-type stuff. There often seems to be such a focus on the power dynamics and so on. It's like there's a desire to see men as sexually vulnerable, but a cultural mental block against imagining that could happen with a female partner.

If a bunch of people talking among themselves about a vaguely shared point of view is propaganda, then so is pretty much every subreddit. I was curious if he was implying there was something more than that going on.

What makes you say it was propaganda?
