I have retired from commenting about things I really care about except in familiar (and usually feminist) spaces. <br /><br />I don't have the emotional strength to engage with guys like the one you mentioned. It makes me feel powerless and stupid because I can't convince them.<br /><br />Thank you for making the effort with comments so I don't have to.soirorenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8743841912028246535.post-81479621314180308112010-08-11T09:24:22.817-03:002010-08-11T09:24:22.817-03:00@Amanda
Wow, you're a stronger person than I ...@Amanda<br /><br />Wow, you're a stronger person than I am talking to people in those feminist-unfriendly spaces! I have a hard enough time engaging when they come to spaces where I already frequent. <br /><br />I probably hold anti-feminist commenters to a higher standard of expectation in feminist spaces ... I assume they're there because they're willing to talk to people with whom they disagree. I realize this is a BIG assumption! But I guess it seems doubly rude to me to visit a space that's outside your comfort zone and then refuse to participate in a more open dialog.<br /><br />*sigh*annajcookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17573723390785613915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8743841912028246535.post-82351002981238930502010-08-11T01:08:08.887-03:002010-08-11T01:08:08.887-03:00I try to talk to people on angry MRA blogs and on ...I try to talk to people on angry MRA blogs and on the men's rights subreddit, and.... well, I feel like an idiot for doing so, because it just gets SO DAMN FRUSTRATING talking to people who are convinced I'm evil. I'm actually planning to take a step back from commenting and engaging with haters because, as they say, haters gonna hate. I even managed to get someone with a personal vendetta against me! But I keep reading all this stuff that pisses me off and its just-- i need to spend more time on the positive-- reading feminist sites and not commenting when I know the only reply i'm going to get is someone insulting me.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00040966100796641603noreply@blogger.com
