" Feminism is about despising an idea. And the idea is that women are unequal to men. It is that they deserve or should expect the kind of sexism, misogyny and mistreatment that they receive. It is that they should receive this treatment and take it on the chin. It is that any woman who rejects this treatment will be met with aggressive, irrational and sometimes unintelligible scorn. When we are destroying the joint, we are calling out sexism and misogyny. When we are destroying the joint, we are helping establish gender equality. We are destroying the joint, because otherwise, we may destroy the rights women have fought hard to achieve. "
