Or, rather, the way feminism is practiced by many people today.
I rarely agree with anything as completely as I do with this:
Contemporary feminism barely threatens to patriarchy. In fact, if the patriarchy wanted to design a non-threatening feminism, it would come up with a movement like today’s. A prominent feminist blog engages in the practice of “trigger warnings.” At the beginning of a post, it will say “trigger warning: misogyny, depression.” So the blog treats its readers as delicate flowers who need to be warned of a subsequent discussion of some troubling subject.
And the consequences?
Many women either reject the feminist label for themselves (no wonder, if this is what feminism has come to), or use it as a cover for their choice to live a completely patriarchal lifestyle.
