History of Feminism

(5,402 posts)The smug expression of frustrated victimhood does help allow a feminist to blame a non-feminist for their obnoxious attitude and it exonerates the victim from taking any action to correct the problem of gender inequality.
But then I ask myself, should non-doctors educate themselves to become surgeons?
Should only climate deniers educate themselves?
Should only Birthers educate themselves?
That's worked out so well, hasn't it? (Hint - the answer is the opposite of "yes"
And after asking myself these questions, I noticed it only takes about three seconds to realize that being a feminist has never meant someone has a corner on the market for common sense.
If we feminists abandon the responsibility to educate the ignorant, then how can we complain when an ignorant person supports continued inequality?
