2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumDemocrats Need to Watch Out: "White Feminism" = Memetown 2014
The second half of 2013 has seen an increase in internet accusations and, in some cases, activism re "white feminism."
Most of it seems to be coming from the entertainment sector, and there's too much of it, too suddenly, IMO, to be a coincidence.
IMO, a number of columnists are using people like Lily Allen and Ani DiFranco as a warm-up for what they've got in store for white, liberal female candidates in 2014.
10:1 it's going to become a meme. How we handle it will determine elections.
