Yes people can complain about whatever they want but if its misinformed don't you think that they should be corrected by others? Also, I was only responding the assertion that I am one of those who hates every movement when thats not the case.
And I completely understand the notion that there are people from other countries that believe those terrible things. I just think its kind of hypocritical to be all up and arms for a movement when people only support the issues within the movement that relate to them.

Yes, I've noticed the same thing on social media. Stupid people have a bigger platform/audience now (and it's also changed what "journalism" is, but that's another topic altogether) and I'm also big on correcting misinformation, but not encouraging a fringe. For an example, I'm not wasting my time with some pseudo-journalism about "eye rape" and neither should you.
By the way, those people in other countries in that example I used above don't necessarily think that women
should go out alone; they (including women themselves) don't think it's something to protest about, they're comfortable with it and think there are worse things. I used that example because I think a lot of people here use that same "it's worse somewhere else" and 'there are bigger things to worry about" argument.
