By the kind of "reasoning" I've seen in this thread, I could grab a few posts from BCT and claim as accurately that everyone who has any Bitcoin at all is a child molester, who huffs jenkem while shooting krokodil and ordering mass murders from assassination sites, runs a Ponzi scheme and an illegal and rigged gambling site, and is also, worst of all, an adult male fan of My Little Pony.
This is what Bitcoin actually believes.
The point is, plenty of people already DO believe that about Bitcoin.
Similarly, the popular conception of feminists and environmentalists is highly negative. Doesn't matter how true the conception is; the IMAGE is itself the problem hindering their goals.
This isn't a thread about trying to prove that those movements are viewed badly. The facts are already in, we already KNOW what society thinks of feminists and environmentalists. This thread is about showing WHY the image is so bad, because apparently lots of people who claim those labels for themselves don't get it. (Or just refuse to believe it.)
HINT: if you're attacking the messengers rather than acknowledging that these sorts of articles all illustrate the kind of people who cause the image problem, and either offer suggestions or counter-examples, you're probably not going to get anywhere.
EXTRA HINT: I don't recall once in this thread where someone who was defending either feminists or environmentalists has said, "yeah, the movement goes too far here, and here, and I and others in the movement are working to restore sanity in that area by getting legislation *repealed*." Now, if you're defending these movements, but the idea of ever making the above statement seems worrisome or somehow wrong to you... YOUR MINDSET DIRECTLY CONTRIBUTES TO THE PROBLEM.
