myiq2xu, the man who posted the gossip about Ali Campoverdi on The Confluence, has shown himself to be a complete douchebag of the what about teh menz variety since he was challenged by some actual feminists. In part because he has recently insisted that people can not unilaterally decide someone is not a feminist for any reason, shortly after declaring Campoverdi could not be a feminist because she did something he didn't approve of. Apparently soon we're going to be told how we are hypocrites by this guy. ha!
His attempts to "clarify" what his original post meant have pretty much been shallow, defensive statements. He refuses to look at the implications of what he's saying, which is that it is no surprise that Jon Favreau would be attracted to "that kind" of woman.
What "kind" would that be, myiq?
You see, this is exactly what slut-shaming is: making a judgment about and categorizing a woman based on a) a sexual act, b) sexual activity, c) attitude towards sex or d) the way she dresses, among other things. Basically, it revolves around a woman's sexuality and whether she has done something the shamer believes a woman shouldn't do.
Of course, we don't have to approve of everything every woman does; but it is anti-feminist to reduce a woman to our perceived notions of her sexuality.
