History of Feminism

Why some people think that caring about a movement, and objecting to people telling lies to demonize that movement, is the same thing as "defending" the people they erroneously call the "leader" of that movement in their effort to demonize it is... interesting.
That'd be like someone saying that someone who champions the destruction of private property is the leader of the environmental rights movement, and when an environmentalist corrects them, they claim the environmentalist is defending the person who champions the destruction of private property.
Fox News has nothing on these people.
I guess they're just not clear on the fact that while MRAs are actually a movement made up almost entirely of misogynist dirtbags, Radical Feminism is nowhere near the same, and despite their best efforts to smear everyone in the movement, they will just keep failing.
Another adorably stupid thing is how they pretend to be too stupid to notice that at the time they started posting unflattering pics of Andrea Dworkin, and started dishonestly labeling anyone who dared criticize objectification, porn, etc. as a "Dworkinite", hardly anyone here knew anything about her.
After their repeated smears aimed at her and Catharine MacKinnon, some of us learned about them, and realized just how low and dishonest their tactics were.
For instance, Dworkin and MacKinnon simply wanted to make it possible for women who could show before a court that they had been harmed by pornography, to he able to sue for damages. That's it.
Catharine MacKinnon is the woman who made sexual harassment in the workplace an actionable issue. Before her, women simply had to 'toughen up' and deal with the bullies themselves.
