    They look for anything that resembles what they term the ‘finger-pinching gesture’ and use it as proof that men-hating women are surreptitiously mocking them.

    How low is your self esteem if you’re imagining all these women you’ve never met are secretly laughing at you?

    feminist symbol

    Racist, it’s a racist symbol

    Communities don’t get to do something racist, slap a racist icon on it and call it feminist and that makes it suddenly feminist.

    If we are cool with articles allowing movements to just get appropriated willy nilly without calling it out, then the racists win.

    If a forum of (racist) Christians post a bunch of racist pictures of black people, you don’t call that “Christian imagery”

    Not everything posted by people calling themselves Christians is Christian imagery

    Not everything posted by people calling themselves feminists is feminist imagery

    So on and so forth.
