I don't think you understand the word 'feminism'

The web address says it all. A Buzzfeed article that links directly to a movement I posted about months ago where men and women wrote on boards about why we need feminism. (By the way, I said then that I thought it would be a good corpus of data to investigate if you could find out how it was collected or, better still, collect your own sample). This is a really shocking reaction to that movement. Sigh.
