I agree with you on what it is, though. The problem, if the problem exists as I wrote, is the PR.
PR is different from what feminism is.
I guess what I wrote is too nuanced to understand in the first sight. I advice you to temporarily assume I'm correct, so that you can calm down and see what I really mean here.
No. And I don't think I've encountered these articles on right-wing webpages when I vistas there out of curiosity. I instead think some were rants on Reddit written by feminists (while I can't recall how I encountered others). So maybe a selection bias on my side, or the loudest feminists get more upvotes even outside rightwing subreddits.
Well, the problem is that nobody collects history of feminism articles they have read. I'm not gonna spend time on collecting them. Even if I did, you don't know how fair my collection strategy would be. I have no idea what Google query would reproduce the samples the average person encounters these things online. So, to do this fairly requires a dedication akin to writing a scientific article on this topic... Nobody has the time.
And if I presented such a survey, you'd do your own research to verify the results anyway. So, I hate to say this, but why not check the web yourself?
If you don't, I think the most feasible you could try is to summarize people's replies.
Although I understand the importance of feminism, I never had the impression that feminists are good at PR. Somehow, most articles written by feministsI've read love to stereotype and bash men.
Well, in the old days US women couldn't even vote. Feminism was thus more important than it is today. It's not really surprising to me that opponents increase by 3% points as women win more equality.
And so there's a risk for humans, too, I guess. Not sure we can survive the next pandemic with at least 40% of population being conservative idiots everywhere in the world.
I'm tired of the protect-the-children tactic. It deflects all the attentions to only one aspect. When the EU used it to kill end-to-end encryption, we saw how it undermined the privacy concerns about destroying the encryption. Politicians became useless, and it was security experts whose letter miraculously stopped the assault on privacy at the last minute.
This problem actually leads to a larger problematic pattern found among most politicians. They pick a handy excuse (like protect the children) to simplify a complex social problem into a degenerate political theatrics, so that they can ignore the opponents and look strong on TVs.
You want them, not need them. Also, I prefer The Guardian model.
