Think pieces like this are getting more and more popular. This is one of VICE's most read articles at the moment. Not only has this kind of 'activism' trendy but it's easily packaged and marketed. quote:2014 was the year that misandry became chic. That January began with the reminder from Madeleine Holden, creator of Critique my Dick Pic, that "dick is abundant and low value," a Tweet that resonated with the power of a 140-character manifesto. The movie release of Gone Girl and Taylor Swift's video for "Blank Space" made misandry aspirational. Etsy samplers emblazoned with "men are scum" and Café Press mugs reading "male tears" proliferated. The year ended with feminazis opening their 2014 Misandmas presents with glee, finding copies of Bitch Planet and Bad Feminist. quote:But in 2015, misandry changed and chic got real. Misandry isn't as simple as hating men. Just as misogyny is less a dislike of women and more a network of practice built on the oppression of women, misandry is a seething rage against patriarchal power, not just a dislike of men. And maybe it was born in irony, but it has hardened... quote:A man she'd looked up to, a man she'd thrilled to, and a man she's fapped to betray women? She looks around, and she fears every man, for every man feels implicated in the blank-faced denials of these famous men. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to misandry. And misandry leads to some pretty amazing social action, not to mention some great pop culture. quote:Misandry, 2015's rich, bitchy, delicious evidence suggests, is not a fad . It's in your music and on your television; it's at the movies and in your Twitter stream. It's shaping culture and it's influencing women . If your #MasculinitySoFragile that you've got a problem with that, let me refer you to Hillary Clinton's near-audible eye-rolling at the Benghazi hearing, to Ex Machina's sweetly homicidal Ava, or to New York City's 2015 manspreading misdemeanor. Misandry's here to stay, boys. Get used to it. http://www.vice.com/en_ca/read/the-year-in-male-tears?utm_source=vicefbca Frosted Flake fucked around with this message at 17:45 on Dec 27, 2015 |

I feel like normal rational people will still exist and be happy and also remain completely indifferent to the poo poo that article is talking about. Like if you don't read the internet and have a job you love, a family you enjoy, and a life, whether or not 2015 was the year of "male tears" is probably not even on your radar. EDIT: It is like if you made a website that talked about how oatmeal is the greatest food and posted about it all the time there, linked oatmeal related news, read posts from others that 100% agree that oatmeal is the best, etc. you might think that the whole world cares about oatmeal and agrees with you.

They're having sessions about trigger words in colleges and demand the removal of literature from common cores, so I think it's spreading

I guess I do recall that when I was speaking with a Harvard English Professor recently about SJW poo poo he did mention one incident that he found a bit odd where a student was unhappy with a reading selection and complained to the department. He failed them for the assignment when they didn't turn in the work  He was of the opinion that you can read something you disagree with and write something compelling about it from that perspective. Like offensive books can be torn apart if you find them offensive? He was sort of out of the loop about that poo poo though because again he has a job he likes, has a family he enjoys, and a life.

I actually read the article and the motivation is transparent quote:Twitter answered this call. While Twitter may appear to be a microblogging platform, it's really a petri dish for growing movements as disparate as Arab Spring, Occupy Wall Street and Black Lives Matter illustrate. Building on this history, Twitter users LaurenChief Elk, Yoeshin Lourdes, and Bardot Smith devised the hashtag and the movement #GiveYourMoneyToWomen, a radical—and controversial—concept that women deserve to be paid for emotional labor. The idea behind it, Chief Elk explained in a VICE interview, arose from her activist views that abusers be financially responsible to their victims. Chief Elk explained that the idea "came out of just thinking about what women have to do all day every day, whether that's in marriages or relationships or work environments." As always, women want more money, they're just tired of pandering to males
