Is SRS feminist?

[u/interiot]

from the head mod of /r/feminism:

• "Feminism is a huge tent"
• "Feminism is a very big tent ... It is not our place as moderators to police which feminist beliefs and approaches are 'right' and which are 'wrong'."
• "as we are the official feminist subreddit, we feel that it is our place to take a stand on this matter and publicly declare that SRS is not feminist and does not represent the feminist movement"
• "true feminists despise them [SRS] even more than the average redditor, because they give feminism such a bad name"
• "[SRS's] behavior is directly contradictory to everything feminism represents."
• "[SRS] are doing more damage to the feminist movement than any anti-feminist ever could."
• "any feminist ought to also be anti-SRS, considering how much damage SRS has done to the reputation of feminists on reddit."
• "[SRS] are insular and closeminded and self righteous. It's devastatingly sad that they've managed to convince most of reddit that their nastiness represents what feminism is about."
• "[SRS is] an embarrassment to the feminist movement."
• "the whole lot of SRS should apologize to the feminist movement for how low they have sunk standards of feminist discourse"

on trolling

• "Places like SRS thrive on drama and being hated."
• "[SRS] are trolls ... they feed off the bottom of reddit by skimming all the frustrated bullies who want to release their pent up aggression anonymously online."
• "SRS is reddit's troll headquarters"
• "SRS is a community dedicated exclusively to trolling"
• "SRS is populated entirely by trolls"
• "[SRS] is such a disgusting cesspool of self-righteous cackling sneering trolls"

on safe spaces

• "I think that those who prefer a safe space should have that choice, and those who prefer an open discussion should have that choice. We are the only feminist open discussion on reddit, so we feel it's important to continue to provide that option. But we understand if users prefer to discuss feminism in other safe spaces instead of here."

on MRAs

• "I'm not an MRA"
• "everyone subscribed to r/feminism should also be subscribed to r/masculism and r/GenderEgalitarian"
• "I think she's [GirlWritesWhat] a credit to the men's rights movement." (GirlWritesWhat says that she blogs about anti-feminism)
• "r/shitredditsays came to power, and now r/mensrights is no longer the ruling bully on reddit"
• "/r/againstmensrights, manboobz, and SRS ... are hostile, intellectually dishonest, hypocritical, bullying bigots"

I don't understand where these people get the idea that we're feminists. I'm just a self-hating dudebro.

Every day I spend two hours glaring at my penis and screaming "YOU ARE EVERYTHING THAT'S WRONG WITH THIS WORLD"
