#there's a much broader theme of rationalist allergy to socjus generally not just feminism

apologies, this is feminism posting and its not good.

so I think a lot of beef that I developed with "online feminist movement" came from friction produced by a common two-step that I saw online of, if you're a reasonable person, you should be a feminist, and if you're a feminist, you should do certain things, each of which were reasonable independently, except that I didn't like the inherent exhortations to do shit, partially because I'm lazy, partially because it wasn't always clear that what was put forward would even have been a summum actum, qua feminism as the interlocutor experiences. now, this is just growing up in an ideologically contested region, but in general, I don't like the "you should do X if you're a good person" especially when the contrapositive, "I do not see you doing X, are you not a good person?" is a threat alive and well, and I find the sousveillance this triggers to be divisive to communities, rather than inclusory.
