u can def tell how passionate and knowledgable someone is about a mess once u dig deeper and ask them followup questions
make them go beyond their initial "hear ye hear ye" statement
asking for references, quick facts...
eventually some will just get frustrated and say "misogyny" regardless of the topic
!!!!
And that's where it becomes obnoxious. What about the person's behavior made it misogynistic? How does patriarchy function in our everyday lives? In what ways has gentrifying predominantly black and brown neighborhoods and redlining been harmful to communities of color?
Once you interrogate these questions then we can have a discussion, but a lot of us run with the first thing we perceive as a source and that's dangerous because we begin to spew that rhetoric all over the internet. The internet is powerful and can be used as great tool to learn about the world, but not the only tool.
