I don't subscribe to the 'my way or the highway' brand of feminism, or discourse that is condescending.

Feminism theory is not a monolith, and from the first expressions of the concept in the 1700's we're all still trying to understand the various ways inequalities present.

Why? Maybe because we're all learning & unlearning, rejecting harmful practices we once 'accepted' because we didn't know better.

Maybe because inequalities evolve, and the feminist movement therefore remains in constant motion to respond.

Maybe because... I don't know.

Hurts to see opportunities for discourse and meaningful engagement devolve into snarkiness. It doesn't advance the conversation, no one learns anything, and most certainly doesn't ease the pariah status the word 'feminism' currently sits within.

Not helpful at all.
