I'll admit I didn't watch it because I hate the charged clickbait title (and I'm not gonna watch a video about rape on my phone at work) but it sure feels like she's homogenizing feminism by attributing the silence of some to all feminists. It's like titling a video "Why are Jews silent on the Palestinian genocide?" when it only applies to some.

Downvoted are for comments that don't add to the discussion (which you are) so I hope you don't get dogpiled

There are many progressives who are calling for the release of the hostages and calling the October 7th attack a war crime, but the problem is that it is a perfectly acceptable in progressive circles to pretend that the attack wasn't that bad, or that it was terrible but was necessary for the liberation of Palestine

As I said, I consider myself a progressive, and I know that a lot of progressives think like me. But there is a strand of the left that is very vocal online that I fear has lost its way

Whoa whoa first off I DO think your comment added to the discussion! I was saying I wouldn't downvoted you and hoped others agreed

I agree that there are progressives with twisted opinions about the conflict. If that's what she was saying, maybe she shouldn't paint with such a broad stroke. A non-inflammatory title would have been "Why are some feminists silent about rape and murder in the middle easy?" But that wouldn't get the clicks. It significantly diminishes her whole point in my opinion

Oh I'm so sorry! I misread your comment! I'm going to edit mine so it doesn't confuse others

Yeah I agree about the title, but that's just the internet now :(
