I've gotten to the point where I just won't argue feminism online anymore. So many communities have built up an image of what a feminist is without seriously interacting with feminists, feminist literature, or any feminist ideals, and it's just too frustrating. No one wins in those arguments.

Are you close enough to your friend to talk to her about it? You might be able to talk some sense into her.

I KNOW. It's hard to keep striving to understand another perspective when the other side won't afford you the same.

Tried and failed. She has some other family issues that are the reason I want to stay and support her... But I feel like a pop tart would be more useful/emotionally resilient at this point!
