scarygodmother replied to your post: The most mainstream of Western mainstream feminism discusses DSK

I’m not a fan of Feministe. The authors/mods are pretty reactionary and (as I recall) they did quite a bit of bitching about the lack of WOC in the feminist blogosphere while not actually having any WOC writers.

All comments on the site are moderated. I sincerely do not understand why they allow stuff like this. I have said it before: not all opinions are equal. And in a space that is supposedly promoting certain political/ social stances (pro equality, pro human rights, etc.), to allow these comments that sound like trolling on Fox News comment threads is alarming. I strongly suspect it’s just for the page views and mainstream approval. By allowing toxic opinions like these they gain a prominent place in the mainstream table. And of course, fuck whoever is hurt by these remarks. At a certain point, one should question who one is serving by allowing oppressive comments. The mere action of approving them is a tacit agreement that these opinions are valid and worthy of exposure. Sorry but no.

For the past decade and a half I have been making all my content available for free (and never behind a paywall) as an ongoing practice of ephemeral publishing. This site is no exception. If you wish to help offset my labor costs, you can donate on Paypal or you can subscribe to Patreon where I will not be putting my posts behind a lock but you'd be helping me continue making this work available for everyone. Thank you.  Follow me on Twitter for new post updates.
