In response to that “colonial garrison” post everyone hated
For me, a good point of judgment on whether a feminist argument makes any sense is “would my mother agree with the basic grievance here?” She’s not versed in feminist theory, but she’s open-minded and aware, and she doesn’t blame herself for other people’s bigotry. When she’s treated poorly because of her sex, she notices.
A LOT of the feminist arguments that provoke responses about “scrupulosity” are things where my mother wouldn’t agree with the initial grievance. So if feminism is driving you into a depressive tailspin, you have my mother’s indirect endorsement to not worry so much.
(I wasn’t even offended by that post, but hoo boy did it dredge up a lot of anger. I’m not linking it because it’s caused enough wank already.)
