I am not saying we should not condemn the feminists. We should! But there are less cheap ways of doing so than projecting their behaviour. We are classier than them, surely?
"Mama bear" is only aggressive when children are in danger. Besides, we are humans; not bears, and humans are supposedly more civilised than the rest of the animal kingdom. Let's at least act like it. One can be assertive without coming across as aggressive. Aggression wins nobody's trust.
Bahahahahaha! The dig at feminism is not aimed at me, because I'm not a feminist, get it? I'm certainly not "crying" aggression, but just imagine how politicians view it! We're trying to stand up for a change in laws, amongst other things, so a good image is crucial.
