MILO YIANNOPOULOS: Why Do Feminists Cook Up Stories About ‘Misogyny’ When They Lose Debates? To garner sympathy and attention, of course. I’ve often found that when lefties complain about all the “abuse” they’ve received on Twitter, an examination of the actual tweets reveals nothing more than simple disagreement.

UPDATE: From the comments:

Why Do Feminists Cook Up Stories About Misogyny When They Lose Debates?

Because feminism, in its current incarnation, rests massively on a presumption of male chivalry.

A strong, independent, woman doesn’t need to be “paid as much as a man”. If she’s unhappy with her pay, she’ll go out and find another employer who’ll pay her what she’s worth.

A strong, independent, woman doesn’t care what some idiot on the internet says about her. She knows her own worth as a human being and can judge the world and what people say accordingly.

A strong, independent, woman doesn’t need to have her sexuality mired in victimhood. She owns her sexuality and, if she makes mistakes, owns those as well.

Modern feminism, in contrast, relies almost entirely on the notion of women as children, without intellectual or moral agency. If something makes them unhappy, Daddy (or his surrogate) has got to come and make a woman’s boo-boos all better.

Chivalry.
