is the man or bear thing rhetorically or optically the perfect feminist meme that is beyond criticism? no.

but is it leaps and bounds better at getting men to understand the material consequences of patriarchy on the physical and emotional health of women than that stupid “kill all men” meme from last decade? definitely.

Funny, but don’t ever forget the #MeToo movement.

Awareness and advocacy may seem pointless until it precipitates in holding the oppressors accountable. Next time, hopefully, it will be even more significant.

Funny, but don't forget the Occupy Wall Street movement.

The ruling class will stop at nothing to maintain their grip on power.

Canceling a few actors, and Harvey Weinstein, has had no beneficial systemic effect on society or women.

A Walmart clerk who is sexually harassed by her supervisor is in no better position today than she was prior to MeToo

But a lot of rich white women got to receive social media attention from it. So that's nice.
