I think when I first started tuning out of modern feminism was on a feminist blog in 2010 or so when the main poster and the commenters (all women) were talking about how hot and sexy 16-year-old Justin Bieber was and how much they wanted to bed him. Tellingly, the same posters and commenters were eager to condemn any relationship among grown-ass adults with even a 2-3 year age gap.

That told me all I needed to know. They had no principles. And were also creepy af. Their feminism was all about dating/mating competition elimination among their cohort while their being “good” in their eyes gave them permission to do whatever they wanted to do — up to and including sexually abusing a minor.

I don’t want a thing to do with any of that kind of feminism. And it was already on the ascent, but is now the dominant strain of infection.
