Not Sorry Feminism Featured By Reddit Assholes!

So I logged on to Blogger this morning, and I noticed something very different about my pageview stats. Today's views were off the charts! Then I saw that I Love My Anger had over 1,300 views! How awesome!

Then I saw that most of the views were coming from Reddit, and I thought to myself, this should be good.

And it was! A section of Reddit called Tumblr In Action, which appears to be a collection of white dudes getting mad about things people post on Tumblr, got mad enough that I'm not buying into the socially enforced rule that women (and other oppressed people) aren't allowed to be mad about their oppression that they featured the post! Check out all the super mad comments and the white dudes quoting Sun Tzu. Hilarious!

I'll admit, there's actually a fourth type of anger that I missed. I've had this anger before and sometimes still experience a hint of it despite my best efforts. It's the anger of those in power when their power is challenged. This is the worst type of anger and leads to the most bitterness, particularly when those who are desperately clinging to that power see it slowly slipping away and know they can't do anything about it.

Must be rough. Allow me to offer my condolences to the dudebros of Tumblr In Action.


Thanks for all the traffic, assholes!
