Nobody uses the phrase "get a rise out of people," anymore. Definitely troll.
Well, fuck them. No one should be using the word troll.

This is why we needed feminism - this is why we know that feminism works
Keyword: needed.

Its 2019 now.
Are we sure it is not still needed at least a little? My concern being unions. They were created to address serious issues. Today many would say they create serious issues and cause harm. But if they were all banned many companies would go right back to the pre-union ways of things or worse.
So if feminism just stopped. Would society revert? I don't know.

Given that several state governments are actively seeking to get Roe v Wade thrown out, I'd say there is strong evidence for it being needed if only to stop some people from turning back the clock.

The clock should be turmned back on some things, not all , but some.

This approach is reductive.

I dunno, I kind of lost faith in Feminism when I saw a law official victim-blaming victims for crimes of the government, subscribing to broad generalizations when it comes to women, and downplaying abuse.

As I am forever told, you cannot blame all feminists for the actions of the minority.

...

Mainly because I don't think it is the minority ;)
