velma comments on If she doesn't disclose up front that she's wearing makeup, that's sexual assault

I don't have an inherent responsibility to be the nicest, most kind woman ever in order to get people to understand and support feminism and women's rights. I'm a person on the internet with strong opinions. That's it.

If you want to believe that a single feminist killjoy on the internet is solely responsible for winning allies in the fight for women's rights, that's on you. I'm just pissed off at the audacity of people commenting on women as if they're objects to be dolled up (or not) to look nice for men.

Believe it or not, women are allowed to be angry. And I don't care what y'all think.

No, you don't have any responsibility per se, but you should know your comments come off more misandrist than feminist, and actively harm the cause. You are the embodiment of the shrieking feminazi strawman that incels joke about - and I'm not convinced you aren't a larping incel trying to push their conspiracy that feminism = man-hating.

If you took one look at my post history, you'd know I'm not a larping incel. I don't push that feminism = man hating.

I'm allowed my opinions same as any other anonymous person on the internet. Again, if my comments are enough to put someone off of feminism, they were never supportive of women's rights to begin with.
