"It has come to our attention that a respected leader of our small online enclave has betrayed the trust many people have instilled in him over the past years.

How did we get from radical feminism (liberation meaning you and me) to empowerment ("if I'm okay fuck you") in a single generation? #SocialEngineering #NonProfitIndustrialComplex #Neoliberalism
