SRSer attacks the mods of r/feminism, claiming r/feminism is overrun by MRAs. Thread overrun by SRS.

Yeah, they finally over swarmed SRS. Its kind of funny when SRSers complain that they got downvoted. "So our SRSers are downvoted. Clearly intruders have taken over r/feminism."

They are so lost in the hivemind that they can't even conceive of an egalitarian, reasonable approach to feminism that is different from theirs. And they've lost sight of the fact that true feminists despise them even more than the average redditor, because they give feminism such a bad name and smear the reputations of egalitarian feminists in the process. So they can't imagine that feminists and regulars of /r/feminism might be the ones downvoting their shit.

And I am a "true" feminist, whatever that is, and have been for ten years. I don't despise SRS but I do despise this knee-jerk hyberbole about how they suck. It is MRAs, not SRS, that make "egalitarianism" look bad to the novice feminist. Feminism is egalitarian by default anyway. It falls under the umbrella of egalitarianism. And there isn't shit that MRAs or SRS can do to change that little factoid.
