I occasionally read According to Hoyt, the blog by novelist Sarah A. Hoyt, who, by her own admission, is taking over the world and leaving it ruthlessly alone. Every once in a while Sarah really hits one out of the park.
It’s like Robespierre stopping at the top of the steps to the guillotine and going “how did things get like this?” - HoytThis quote is from Sarah's latest contribution to the war on weak minds, Wrong Battle, Insane Tactics.
To which the executioner replied, "It's a long story, and we haven't the time. Now if you'll just step this way, please..." - Mad Jack
For reasons that are completely unclear to me, Sarah decided to read Am I a bad feminist?, an opinion piece by Margaret Atwood, which evidently inspired her to comment on the current state of Atwood's mind. You see, an elite cadre of Atwood's fans mysteriously turned on her, surprising no one except Atwood, which causes her to wonder aloud - What would a Good Feminist look like, in the eyes of my accusers?
The narcissistic, self-evident answer is, literally, Margaret Atwood, but I suppose any notable anti-freedom zealot who lacks wedding tackle will suffice.
Sarah, being on the sunny side of the bell curve as well as being a gentlewoman and a scholar, puts the lie to Atwood's ramblings. I think it's a worthy read.

That was a very informative and yes, entertaining article (" that idiot Marx, lol") and I would have loved to have commented that libs like that manufacture their own history and we shouldn't expect it to match what actually happened. But she had such a huge line of well-reasoned and verbose comments already I thought it would be easier to just say it here. Besides, I was tired of scrolling down and STILL hadn't hit the comment box...
Feminism is an ideology of hate.
