Radical Feminist Website Says It’s About To Shut Down, Admits No One Cares

Posted By Eric Owens On 11:41 AM 05/13/2017 In | No Comments

The founders of a radical feminist website dedicated to social justice causes have announced that the site may be forced to shut down by the end of this month unless it receives a massive, immediate cash infusion.

The five-year-old website, Everyday Feminism, has created an “Emergency May Booster Fund” to fend off “scary financial trouble that’s threatening to put a halt to our work — maybe even as soon as the end of May.”

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I'm going to guess that the site isn't really in trouble, and that this announcement is just a gimmick to raise money.  Look for another announcement next month saying the site will continue because it scared up some donations.

Anti-capitalist social justice just ain't that great a business model, I guess... ;)

That place is a true She-Woman Man-Haters Club. I've seen a few of their articles. They're nauseatingly insulting.

You'd think they'd get plenty of traffic and engagement just from the people who show up to prove them wrong.

They must be doing something wrong.  A website doesn't cost that much to keep up on the web:  I pay for and maintain one for my church (and a campus ministry group and another Orthodox church in rural Kansas) and it costs me under $160 / year.  Maybe they mean they'll need to take day jobs instead of paying themselves to run a radical feminist website if they don't receive "a massive, immediate cash infusion."  It's either that or they're too stupid to learn to write their own html and css, or even a drag-and-drop website builder, and can't afford to pay for tech support anymore.

And when they behead your own people in the wars which are to come, then you will know what this was all about.

That is probably exactly what they mean

No man haters.  My guess would be they hate themselves for being women and are jealous of men.  Much of the "hate" for America is actually jealousy packaged as hate by politicians and media.

Maybe they took some lessons from Jim Robinson? Act like you need gobs of money to keep the site running... that kind of thing.
