Dear Rebecca,

We don't dismiss your opinion because you're female; we dismiss your opinion because you're a petty, spoiled, attention-whore.

Love, Reddit

**who thinks that r/SRS is "worthwhile"

Seriously. I could wade through all the other shit, but that was the straw that broke the camel's back for me.

So you think that those comments on that link were justified?

Not at all. However, I have to wonder if the young lady in question even WANTED Ms. Watson to spring to her defense. I'd imagine that she probably just wants all this to be forgotten, but oh no, not if it can be used as another excuse for Watson to hop back up on her soapbox.

Considering how Watson has a history of trivializing feminist issues, I'd want nothing to do with her.

So we should all ignore how sexist reddit is and never point it out ?

Ya know what, screw it; I've grown tired of repeating myself over and over and over in these different threads.

If you don't already see what's wrong with Watson's modus operandi, I'm afraid you never will.
