    Instead of complaining that feminists speak out, why not call out the actual problem: the misogynists? Be a “staunch advocate” and have the conversations that women can’t.

      I never once complained about feminists speaking up. I think everyone should speak up all the time whenever they notice any injustice. And I’ve lived that truth personally, even in the face of consequences that I knew I’d face for it. What i said is that the “raging” part is counterproductive

        That is literally what you are doing in this thread right now.

          It’s literally not. I literally said the opposite of that. Quote the line in my comments where I said that. I feel like a person has to be willingly ignorant to ignore the many many many times i repeatedly said over and over again that people should speak up. If you like you can go read my comments and count how times i used the word “advocate”

          Here is the dictionary definition of the word advocate:

          to speak for, support, or represent a person or group of people who may need extra help or protection

            You came to this thread in order to talk over feminist voices and tell them to “dial it back”. That’s how this started.

            If you want to be a good advocate, stop tone policing the people you claim to advocate for, and start listening.

              This EXACTLY what I’m talking about. You don’t get to tell me how to speak any more than i get to tell you how to speak. I made recommendations, i didn’t say you can’t talk how you want to. Even further i didn’t tell you not to speak at all, which is what you are telling me to do. We both want the same result but your approach causes the exact opposite of what you’re trying to achieve. I DON’T advocate for feminists. I advocate for women.

                Gee, didn’t take long at all for you to go from “I never once complained about feminists speaking up” to explicitly admitting you’re against feminists now.

                  Absolute nonsense. I said i don’t advocate for feminists, which is not at all the same thing as being against feminists. You need to read the definition of advocate again. I don’t advocate for feminists for the same reason why i don’t advocate for singers, or philosophers, or race car drivers, because none of those are innate parts of a person’s being, and none of them are oppressed classes.
