> Like I said, there's no need to craft Straw Feminists from whole cloth. Make your points without these fabrications.
I'm not lying and your need to claim I am damages your case.
An example from Reddit, which is very much the non-academic Real World I've been talking about:
ImaLamer:
> As someone who was raped by a woman, while drinking, something you've put full responsibility on her for in other comments, you quickly dismissed my feelings and the impact this has in my life. It was not statistically significant for you to care. So much so you took it as an opportunity to further bash men as a class.
Saganomics:
> Well ladies and gentleman, that's what Men's Rights thinks. There you have it.
The claim of ImaLamer's post being edited afterwords is difficult to take seriously: Edited posts are marked with an asterisk, which is not present on ImaLamer's post. Also, Saganomics' post happened long after the very brief window when you can edit without an asterisk appearing.
