If they can neutralize the Dworkinites, then yes. But modern Tumblr/Jezebel neo-feminism is just recreational outrage more than anything else. Stop all the nonsense about "micro-aggressions" and start focusing on actual things that matter in real life.

Somebody saying "man up" is not sexism. Many modern neo-feminists are some of the most privileged human beings to have ever existed in human history. They are mostly upper middle class white college graduates who make a living basically talking down to working class men, and women who don't share their views. Being offended by literally every little thing isn't getting them anywhere.

Basically if they can knock off the lynch mob mentality then we might have something we can work with.

The problem is that mainstream feminists can't stop complete man haters from calling themselves feminists, and giving up the name would give the terrible people the name which generations of women used, while they fought for their rights to be treated as human beings.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. The so-called "RadFems" need to be sidelined where they belong so that real feminists can take the helm and push for progress real issues like fair pay and reproductive health.

why do you get to decide what "matters in real life"?

That's not what I was saying and you know it. I was saying that they should focus on things like fair pay and reproductive health. Not getting outraged because someone said "work is a bitch today" in casual conversation and the like.

Not to mention that Rape is much worse than being falsely accused of rape.

This is very, very debatable. An argument could be made that there are actually more long standing ramifications of being falsely accused.

Some objectivity. I'm not saying rape isn't terrible. But people who are falsely accused can have ramifications just as long-standing and terrible. Especially considering everyone knows your name and face and there will always be a big swath of people who "just know" you did it.

Never mind if you actually get convicted and sent to prison for years before it's revealed that it was bogus.

The tired MRA-harping about how great it is to be raped or whatever is not worthy of more than being told to shut up. I'm sorry if that hurts the feelings of you manly men.

Literally no one in this thread said this. You are just flat making things up at this point because you aren't actually capable of constructing a counter-argument.
