but all this #yesallwomen campaign is likely to do is repress certain adult male *ambitions* and reduce them down to Klebolds. Doh!
Cos its always the woman's fault? Doh!
I never said it was a woman's fault, and the only ones here alluding to that conclusion are the feminist types who want to put words in other peoples mouths and hijack the dialog. The reality is the feminist movement neither address the problem nor offer to try to find a solution, they simply don't want a real dialog. There may be a good reason, because people of average intelligence will recognize feminism as the problem. I am not saying feminism is the cause, but that is the likely conclusion ordinary people will come to because it is the most obvious despite the fact that this social problem is more deeply rooted in our society. Not going to look good as feminist are being called out in trying to obscure the truth and being called out on it.
Well, you say a campaign by women to highlight female experience of male harrasment will turn men into killers. The obvious interpretation, seeing as no-one wants to see men being killers, is that the campaign should stop. The causal link suggesting it would, indeed, be women's fault. Please do clarify if I misread your statement.
Further:
What are these 'adult male ambitions'?
Why would the campaign repress them?
What do you think the problem is?
Why would people of 'average intelligence' see feminism as the problem?
Why is feminism the 'most obvious' cause?
Where do you think the problem (see first question) is rooted?
What truth are feminists trying to obscure?
