Receipts Folder: Kira Dalton

I've picked on the Landbackeroos a lot in this series, but they aren't the only shit "comrades" out there. Among others, there are also radfems. And some of them even think that screenshotting my words is a sort of own, as if I didn't resolutely stand by everything I say (pic utterly related).

You know the type. I'm not referring to the average feminist, someone with spicy takes like "everyone ought to be equal." I'm referring to the species of pinkhair that performatively (and sometimes actually) hates men. The sort of person who will wade into an internet fight to uphold women's rights and literally nobody else's, whose political program therefore resembles woman supremacy in practice even if it's hidden behind egalitarian fig leaves.

Today's entry is Kira Dalton, who goes by a plethora of other names on her multiple accounts. A friend of mine raised a valid point, that short men and chubby women are equally discriminated against on dating sites, but that short men can't do anything about it and don't have social sympathy for their plight. Now, the radfem reactionaries (like Kira) would instinctively pick the "leave women alone, fat people are a marginalized group!!11!" line, while the MRA reactionaries would instinctively pick the "short men did nothing wrong, put them hamplanets on a diet" line. Both lines are equally chauvinist and wrong; the correct line is to uphold the rights of both. But saying so out loud in the presence of either is liable to get you cancelled.

Which is why that's exactly what I did.

The funniest part about this convo is not the multiple times Kira accused me of things I am on record as being firmly against, like fatshaming, or how she blatantly changes her messaging on a dime when she finds out her opponent thinks fat women are cute. No, the funniest part is just how dedicated she is to never being wrong on the internet. Usually, narcissists are less obvious, but not her. As a result, this conversation went to over 150 posts, and is even still going on. I gave up screenshotting it once it became obvious she was just trying to lawyer a way to not be wrong, and was intending to exhaust me. Also, other people came in and started saying things I don't really endorse, so I gave up responding for the most part.

People like Kira have acted like our intellectual class for many years now, but their ideology is bankrupt and premised on self-aggrandizement. We should utterly reject radfems as the reactionaries they are.

Anyhoo, here's the conversation:
