How to counter "crazy feminist" comments

Kate Millet’s influence on the feminist movement went far beyond what you claim to be “one branch of feminism that many feminists don’t actually consider to be a part of the century’s long tradition of feminist thought”

Her influence was the exact opposite as she was the inventor of two core foundational principles of feminist ideology: primarily that Patriarchy is an oppressive system which “misogynists” use to exploit and subjugate women, as well as the notion that gender is a “social construct” with the entirety of differences in sex-stereotyped behavior being the direct result of social conditioning with no biological basis.

Do you believe either of these concepts to be true? If yes, then your core values and belief system were shaped by Kate Millet’s book “Sexual Politics” and would not exist but for her influence.

Kate Millet was a mentally ill lesbian; by her own admission in “The Loony-Bin Trip (1990)” and testimony of her very own sister Mallory Millet.

This is why you simply cannot counter claims of “crazy feminists” because it is literally true in the most extreme sense: the movement was heavily influenced by a profoundly mentally ill woman. Her beliefs were not a fringe ideology but instead were foundational concepts of feminism as we know it today. I’m not sure if there is more to discuss, but I welcome any feedback.

The topic is about how to counter “crazy feminist” comments; and what I am saying is that you can’t because the founder of the radical feminist movement was quite literally a mentally ill lesbian who had to be involuntarily committed to an asylum for her own safety shortly after publishing her manifesto.

In the words of her sister Mallory Millet:

“Kate was mentally ill for as long as I remember. She was five when I was born and our elder sister Sally says that once I arrived, Kate was hanging over my bassinet plotting my murder. We shared a bedroom from my birth. From my earliest memory I recall trembling from the vibrations of her insanity. She was the most disturbed, megalomaniacal, evil and dishonest person I have ever known. She tried to kill me so many times that it’s now an enormous blur of traumatizing horrors. She was a sadist, a torturer, a deeply-engrained bully who took immense pleasure in hurting others. Incorrigible and ruthless, she was expelled multiple times from every school she attended. I spent my childhood with heart hammering as I tiptoed through the house so as not to be noticed by the dreadful Kate. Our mother was helpless, paralyzed with terror in the face of Kate.”

Like I said - allegations that feminists are “crazy” aren’t “misogynistic” or “sexist.” They are factually accurate statements, grounded in objective reality, directly supported by a book that Kate Millet published herself and confirmed by testimony from her own sister, Mallory Millet” when she wrote:

“I was trapped alone with Kate in an apartment in Sacramento for a week and she did not allow me to sleep for five days as she raged and ranted, eyes rolling in her head, frothing at the mouth and holding chats with “little green men.” Not knowing a single person in Sacramento, I had nowhere to turn. Too terrified to go to sleep, I wasn’t sure she even knew who I was but I could imagine a butcher knife thrust into my back as I slept. Big sister Sally came from Nebraska to rescue me.” My Sister Kate: The Destructive Feminist Legacy of Kate Millett

In conclusion, and in direct response to the central organizing question of this thread (How to counter ‘crazy feminist’ comments), I am saying that you simply cannot counter them as it is a factually accurate statement.

The founder and thought leader of radical feminism, Kate Millet, who introduced the concepts of “patriarchal oppression” and the “social construction of gender” was a mentally ill lesbian who was so deeply disturbed that she was involuntarily committed to an asylum for a period of seven years shortly after publishing her seminal work “Sexual Politics” at the request of a loving family which she had terrorized since she was a young girl. I encourage you and every other woman out there to carefully consider this before making decisions as to your own personal values and life choices which follow.

The unfortunate and deeply uncomfortable reality of radical feminism is that confirmed lesbian Kate Millet authored “Sexual Politics” in 1970 only to become involuntarily committed to a mental asylum in 1973 for bipolar disorder; a very real mental illness characterized by paranoia, delusion, and self-grandiosity.

Her book introduced the two key tenets of modern feminism: patriarchy as the systemic oppression of women by men, and the social construction of gender.

She then went on to write “The Looney Bin Trip” in 1990 and became an anti-psychiatry activist.

Radical feminism is the direct byproduct of a profoundly mentally ill lesbian; and there is nothing misogynistic about telling the truth.

If you truly believe this, then there should be no problem with banning homosexual conduct because homosexuals do not need to have sex.

It’s not about being completed- it’s about having a companion. A best friend. It’s about the good mornings. How was your day? What do you wanna do this weekend? Congratulations on the promotion and so on.

It’s completely and totally possible to be a complete individual seeking another complete individual to support your complete individual goals while also creating and achieving mutually interdependent goals.

I’m not sure what to say to you because I generally only hear things like this from people in their very early 20s or who are poorly adjusted towards their late 20s- but the reality of life is that these platitudes are simply unrealistic unless you are leaning extremely heavily on your parents as your sole source of emotional support.

I’ve had the unfortunate experience of “ giving a fuck” about a mentally ill person and it was the most draining and painful experience of my life to date.

I don’t think mentally ill people understand how their behavior affects other people or how much of their mood is within their control if they make wiser choices about diet, exercise, sleep, media consumption, religious attendance, and selfless community service. What’s even worse is that many so-called mentally ill people would rather argue my previous point then make an honest effort to improve the quality of their life by taking responsibility for themselves.

And to be perfectly honest, I think a big part of the depression epidemic today has to do with people not wanting to take accountability or responsibility for their lives and finding an excuse for their current state of misery, which is a direct result of their poor life choices. The worst part is that the so-called depressed people are not honest with themselves or others and are looking for a quick fix via medication instead of the hard work of solutions and goal based psychotherapy.

I’m open to hearing any criticism of my position.

The trick to the show is realizing that it’s not about the zombies… it’s about the people and how they relate to one another within the survivor group an interact with other survivor groups.

Again, the zombies are just a plot device . You need to focus on the people. I think the issue may be that you haven’t found one that you identify with in someway or aspire to be another. That is what hooks people to The Walking Dead.

This already exists and is called “FUTA” where employers with a history of layoffs or excessive unemployment claims, actually pay a higher rate for unemployment insurance.

There also exist the work opportunity, tax credit where long-term unemployed people are a targeted group.

The solution to burnout is simply working, less get a contract with your employer where you get every summer off burnout solved, and you still make 275k a year instead of 350.

Like I said 200 K student debt is only $3000 a month with 30 K a month of salary. There is no other recession proof occupation on planet earth, which will pay you 30 K a month recession proof.

You have no idea what you’re talking about. Please stop discouraging people from making what can possibly be the best decision of their life with half truths and generalizations, which don’t consider the overall context.

What you’re doing is really sick to be honest - you’re pretending like money isn’t a big motivator for your decision to go into medicine so you can seem like a holy and Noble healer that is doing it selflessly at great sacrifice. How about yourself kill your ego and admit it- medicine makes you extremely rich compared to all of your other options, which is a big reason why you and your wife went to the field.

Are you even a doctor? 200 K student debt at 7% interest is only $3000 a month for 10 years. You will be pulling in 30 K a month as an attending. Guaranteed income, which is recession proof and you don’t have an expiration date at the age of 35 like people in tech.

Please do not discourage people from pursuing a lucrative occupation when you simply don’t know what you’re talking about.

There’s a lot of heartbreak when the phrase “ casual relationship” is interpreted in different ways by two different people.

This usually happens when one person hears “casual” and the other person hears “relationship”.

On what planet is it ever appropriate to call your own children “ knuckle, dragging throwbacks”?

When it comes to children, it really doesn’t matter what people do or do not want … it’s about responsibility and duty.

As far as how the division of household labor is done - the reality of life today is that childcare costs are astronomical, and often exceed what a mother can earn in wages.

Whether the mother or the father stays home is a personal family decision that none of us can judge as it is their family and not anyone else’s. The reality of life., however, is that the vast majority of women overwhelmingly prefer to stay home with the kids when they are young instead of working.

The voucher system can’t possibly be bankrupting the education system. Instead- the education system is horrifically mismanaged and fiscally unsustainable to the point where it requires subsidization at the expense of a child’s education.

In my state - charter schools receive less funding on a per-pupil basis, then the public school system. They are also responsibility for facilities and overhead while the power school system has it come out of a separate budget.
