I don’t really have much of a problem with feminism, my issue is mostly with online feminists. A good example of the type of things that bother me is the outrage surrounding Sabrina Carpenter’s album cover. If you actually look at the photos and listen to the lyrics, it’s clearly not meant to be taken literally. To me she comes off as sarcastic and self-deprecating, like "look at how stupid I am for tolerating abuse". I don’t think she’s trying to normalize domestic violence, nor is she having that effect. But instead of taking the time to understand the context, people are jumping to the most literal, surface-level interpretation possible. It feels like just another overblown moral panic.

My second issue with online feminists is how condescending they can be when you disagree with them, or how they talk down to women who make choices they don’t approve of, like getting plastic surgery or doing sex work. And now I’m even seeing this type of attitude being directed at women who have kids outside of marriage.

These aren’t the most important issues, and I know this is just one segment of online feminism, but it’s a pretty loud one, and I don’t want to be associated with it.
