I’ve started asking men on dating apps if they consider themselves a feminist. The responses have been…er…shocking. I guess I shouldn’t be shocked (but if I wasn’t shocked then I probably wouldn’t still be on the apps—optimism is a lethal bitch). Generally speaking, the results range from enthusiastically yes (a rare, very very rare response) to neutral (not really feminist but not overtly misogynist either) all the way to pure hate (the worst to read but when you think about how you could’ve ended up on a date with this psycho, the relief washes over you). Enjoy (my nightmare!)
And with that, I give you Jeff. Ol’ Jeffy. El Jefe. The Jeffster. Jefferson. Sir Jeff of the inability to take a stance on the most basic of human issues.
But don’t despair, occasionally you’ll come across just a big old weirdo who doesn’t make sense, and if that’s not better than the pure hatred you’re used to from men, I don’t know what to tell you. I live for a little bonkers palate cleanser. For context: his profile said “scorpion feminist” (in case that wasn’t obvious from our convo lol).
