(5,739 posts)Again if that was the point it was poorly communicated, because no one else seems to be getting it either. A classic rule of rhetoric, is if you make an point and no one seems to be getting it you probably didn't make your point correctly.
But let me get his straight, you fight the patriarchy by doing something royally stupid to piss off a bunch of people completely unrelated to the persons she wronged?
You want to talk about the public reaction fine, but the public reaction can't be used to justify her over the top and self-destructive actions. If only for the simple reason, that happened after she wronged the human being that she wronged. Just because you're under attack by jerks, doesn't make you a good guy automatically.
I'm going to quote something very lovely down thread
"i think public shaming for a private joke where one is def not the intended target, nor is it in anyway personal, nor does it seem particularly hateful, is insane. "
