On Internet feminism

This is probably the most interesting thing I saw written on Internet feminism all year and it was on Jezebel. You likely won’t agree with all of it, I don’t and that’s kind of the point, but it will make you think…

Let’s say a feminist site fucks up occasionally; so do feminists. Let’s say even that the site is frequently unpalatable; that seems reasonable in a world where every human is a nightmare to someone else. To me, the obvious conclusion from everything that is annoying on the internet is that the stakes of representation should be much, much lower. But we are trudging through these wild storms of approval and disapprobation on a failing hunt for consensus; we are worshiping and trying to locate a mirage.
