I guess I just don't care. Very little about politics interests me so it is easy to distance myself from large, vocal, feminists because I don't care as much as you do.
Given a different topic, I might respond with your zeal. However, I do not pay attention to feminist news, politics, etc. so do not have any reason to get upset.
And as for being embarrassed to be a woman? I think that is a little excessive yet understandable. I try to put it in a different frame: I imagine myself being a scientist. And within the scientific community, I think of a vocal group advocating for something weird like the ability for scientists to operate above the law, have no regulations, and so on because that would lead to a cure for cancer. And the small vocal sect dominated everyone else, and anyone who tried to stand in the way would be accused for "stopping the cure for cancer."
But then not all scientists would think that way and it would indeed be embarrassing being associated with that portion. So I can kind of see your point.
Sorry if this is confusing. It is late and I need to stop being on IIN when I am sleepy.
Is it normal to hate females so much that I am embarressed to be one?
