Yeah , the terminology and assumptions could use a onceover , and there are parts I disagree with , but the author sounds like someone I could agree with on many points , and disagree with reasonably and productively otherwise . The biggest disagreement I have with it and it ' s based on my own opinion that ' s itself arguable is that she ' s close but not quite to the enlightenment of the proper conclusion To paraphrase The Matrix Do not try to bend the group . That ' s impossible . Instead , realize the truth . There is no group . Criticizing largely amorphous , openmembership , and self or externallydefined groups is pointless , as it ' s not like there ' s any membership card denoting feminists or antifeminists that can be ripped up and disavowed in disgust of other members . Like atheist or environmentalist it ' s just a description of how you think on a certain issue . GamerGate may be a bit more identifiable , but it ' s hardly organized or exclusive in any way that would imply that one person agrees with another to any level of detail . Nor are they a group with a head or structure to direct . No individual can steer the group to or from anything , because it ' s a classification . And maybe I ' m getting a bit # NotAllMen presumptive and she was trying to address only the assholes to change , but I still think the proper way to do that is to lead with and think in terms of the behavior , not the larger label . Yes , it kills some of the punch and muddles the message , but it shoots true and indisputable or at least arguable on merit to say that people who do . should stop doing . . Without the understanding that it ' s people , not groups , that are responsible for problems and thus their solutions , you stay stuck as part of the ineffective and contentious slog of fighting irrelevant people in order to reach people who aren ' t listening . But that criticism aside , it did seem to be a well balanced if , again , misinformed rundown of the problems . It ' s just that the course of action wasn ' t quite there .
