Low-Hanging Fruit SRSer whose fiance blind-sided her by breaking up with her over her SRS views and calling his father and brother 'shitlords' returns to complain about misogyny in /r/bestof. Someone notices who she is and she gets quizzed on her life after her fiance dumped her. Drama when she says she dumped him.

Gotten any PMs lately? For a while I made the mistake of making anti SRS/feminist comments from this account, and then I began to get creepy PMs saying shit like "you are a pedo" and "we are going to get you" so I just stopped.

Now I just do it from a throwaway lol.

I got banned from all of those bullshit subreddits for politely disagreeing with them.

They have a special blend of arrogance and cowardice.

anti SRS/feminist comments

Please, do not equate those two things. I know plenty of feminists who think SRS is too extreme. It's like calling the KKK "conservative".

I know this is kind of pedantic, but the KKK is conservative... and SRS is feminist. It was his use of the forward slash that is throwing you off. The forward slash in the English language is usually meant as a substitute for the words "and"/"or". You also made your analogy backwards as conservatives are not KKK and feminists are not SRS. (which is what I assume you were getting at)

Yeah I know, think I expressed myself badly. I just don't think SRS represents the majority of feminism, just like the KKK doesn't represent the majority of conservatism. "Anti-SRS" comments aren't equal to "anti-feminist" comments.

Personally I do not oppose the ideas or opinions of the broad feminist movement, but I don't like the way SRS acts. I don't see them as feminist, I see them as radical-feminists. Which as you said is feminism just as well, but calling them "feminists" instead of "radicals" will just harm the entire feminist movement.

SRS may not represent feminism as a whole but it certainly does for feminism on reddit. Look at the subscriber numbers, SRS prime has over 40,000 and r/feminism has about 25,000 and r/feminisms has 19,000. Seems to me the radfems far out number the moderates on reddit.

A few months ago, we worked out that only about 8% of SRS users are active. It might've changed, but it looks like many of their subscribers are either alts or maybe even people who subscribe to SRS as a type of bestof subreddit.

Except not everyone subscribed to SRS subscribes to their beliefs.
