This isn't Cliff's rodeo on this topic, and he often comes across that way. Just look at his posts in this thread alone, devoid any specifics or examples and full of generalizations and misrepresentations. I've asked him the past to cite some feminist literature, writers, or thinkers that he can use to backup his claims about the ideology, and the best he can usually do is post some links to xojane or something similar that is basically a factory for the worst of the worst think pieces. Other times he's linked to some articles that have already confirmed his views on the topic by taking select quotes and printing them out of context or demonstrating that their indicative of the movement as a whole.
I don't think that people need to thoroughly engage with source material in depth or anything because this is a message board and not a thesis, but it's intellectually lazy (and not very liberal) to write-off an entire movement based on the rantings of fringey scenesters.
