Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Well no, I wasn't making a judgement of whether or not those people were "true feminists". I was making a judgement of their actions as being unaligned with the beliefs they claimed.

Humans do things that don't align with their core values all the time. It's called making a mistake or doing a bad thing. For example I'm staunchly anti-racism and try to check my actions. Doesn't mean I never do racist things. Nor does it mean if I do a racist thing, suddenly I'm no longer anti-racist forever and all time. Who tf knows where the line is, but probably it's around the point where you stop trying.
