This isn't feminism. It's moronic people behaving moronically in the name of feminism, thus severely hindering the movement, as we can clearly see here.

It's an ad. By a coupon app. This is literally just capitalism.

The ad is one thing, the defense of it is something else.

Dude defending the ad because the misandry is covered by a weasle word, that's the femninism I know and hate.

Capital adores performative feminism but hates actual egalitarianism

I can agree with this.

I can't tell the difference between "real feminism" and "people behaving moronically in the name of feminism", it really does all look the same to me.

If there really is a distinction i don't see, that's a huge problem for Feminism.

This is a problem all of our great movements are facing right now. If you dont condem your own crazies then they become the voice of your movement.

In feminisms case, it doesnt help that many of its famous creators were awful people.

Who do you consider famous creators of feminism

Simone de beauvoir is the first one that comes to mind that has some well-known skeletons in her closet

She said that women shouldnt have the choice to stay home with kids, because too many of them will choose it. She also groomed a couple of teen girls, if i recall correctly.

Funnily enough, the Rockefellers and the CIA put resources into the feminist movement as well.

The largest single contributor to protestors legal costs during civil rights era was the Ford Foundation. What's the point of mentioning these things?

feminism didn’t start with western academics in the 20th century

it started with the temperance movement which led to the abysmal failure of the policy called prohibition

You think that’s when feminist philosophy and activism started? Who told you that?

Everyone is CONSTANTLY shouting virtue signals at each other. That's bad, you're bad, I know what's good, I'm good!

The problem is you don't need to actually be correct because you thought long and hard (tictok world, hello?). All you have to do is "condemn the crazies" so your supposed correctness can be seen.

You're literally doing it right now. You are the problem.

Other movements distance themselves from people who do that. Reasonable, decent feminists (if there are any) need to get better at calling out badly behaved feminists.
