The gals at [info]feminist are at it again.

[info]misfratz posts some links to articles about domestic violence inflicted on men by women. These articles, she claims, are evidence of a vast antifeminist conspiracy to discredit women who are abused.

When several community members respond that, while the articles may be biased, men can be abused by women, [info]misfratz flips her shit.

[info]robynchick, for instance, posts an explanation of why she felt the articles were valid, to which [info]misfratz responds:
Read the actual post, for fucks sake. Or just sod off and cry for the poor little men whilst women are being actually killed. This community is not feminist at all.


The wanky remarks fly fast and furious from there on in.


Now, bitchy infighting is rather common in the [info]feminist community, but what makes this truly wanky is [info]misfratz's followup post:
Is this community actually for feminists (ie for defending rights of women)?

(Because if it is, why should I have to preface a post about groups that try to attack women and trivialise violence against women by saying how great men are, in order to avoid being attacked by people who think the purpose of feminism is to defend men?)


And of course, thus follows plenty more spooge.
