Valenti strikes me as a liberal Ayn Rand, in that both profess the virtue of selfishness. Valenti spins her selfishness as “radical self-love”, a necessary part of coping with everyday life. To Valenti, victimhood is the currency she uses to buy such indulgences, and since she’s constantly a victim, she has near infinite currency.

It seems similar to that line "25% of homeless people are women" that's supposed to shock you. Well of course that means three times as many homeless men exist, but the speaker never realizes they're betraying their own presumption that men suffering is "normal" but women going through the same thing deserve better treatment somehow.
This is a neatly worded way to phrase the whole victimhood-as-value philosophy.

The irony here is that if you replace "fat" with "white, straight and male", you'd see the reason why so many people are leaving the feminism movement.

Throwback to this weirdly specific list detailing types of male feminists to beware of. Definitely feels like the author wrote it about their ex-boyfriend or some soy fuelled Chad-lite who wouldn't give them the D.

"Beware men who bring a flask to get hammered at your cousin's wedding and then hit on your 20 year old sister just because her breasts are perkier than yours in that dress you didn't want her to wear before passing out in the car and then throwing up all over your newly redone upholstery. Especially if their name is Steven."

A Chad will only read Chaucer, and only out loud in the original Middle English.

Nah, real Chads only read Beowulf. Chaucer has too many cucks in it.

They have a new campaign about how you can turn your white guilt into anti-racist activism. And waaaah, being the "first x woman to do y" still isn't enough to make me happy!
If you feel bad for being the first at doing something then why don't you try to be the second that does that?Easy solution duh!!Then again they would write an article about how 'it sucks to the be second at something' because no one remembers what you did or something.

I'm sure someone with multiple sclerosis, lost their art career due to blindness, those with brittle bones, severe deformities that make it hard to live a regular life would just love to have a word with the author.

It used to be diversity then inclusion and now it's gimmie shit. Especially if you come from a group that happens to be 99.05% of the population, because SJWs have this idea that non-CIS people are about 30% of the world population and not less than 0.05%.

I know several parents of children with severe degenerative conditions who would murder an entire town single-handed if it meant their disabled child could live a normal life, and I can't say I blame them for it. They absolutely want a cure for their disabilities. The only people that don't are fucking identity politicians who want special status.
So does that mean that the people at Everyday feminism want to stop all research into curing various disabilities?Is this for real?I understand why living a life in a wheelchair while everyone else can walk would make you feel angry and depressed that you seem powerless.I understand that part.
I don't understand why you would take that anger and turn it into everyone needs to treat me like i'm special and stop trying to find a cure i'm perfectly happy like this.It seems some people with disabilities out of anger that they cannot be 100% normal turned that anger towards everyone else and cannot own up to the fact that by the time cures are found they'll be old and gone.
This is what happens when kids education puts an emphasis on self esteem to the point of telling everyone they're special and great.Once you become an adult and discover that not everyone is special your fragile mind cannot handle it.They should teach in school 'Odds are you'll never be great and most of you will be anonymous online surfers until your deaths.Deal with it.'The alternative has not produced good results.

Let's look at this brave advocate for the disabled, Wendy Lu, shall we?
Her only disability is a tracheostomy. While tracheostomies are a bitch to manage and I applaud her for having learned tracheostomy speech (it is hard), her condition is hardly the same plight as people who are blind or permanently paralysed. Yet here she is, parading her minor disability like a badge of honor ("... my close friends... know I am a proud disabled activist who wears a tracheostomy tube") and presumptively speak on behalf of Stephen Hawking ("[BBC's extolling how Hawking had popularized science “despite debilitating illness.” and Gal Gadot's tweet about Hawking "being free from physical constraints"] ultimately shame people with disabilities for their identities.")
I strongly doubt Hawking would have been offended by those comments; indeed I don't think he would see his disability as an "identity". But then, not every tard or cripple are overachievers like Hawking, and they have to grab at any "identity" in order to stand out.

I have a mild disability myself, and I'd really like it to be gone, the idea that society needs to shift for me is pretty absurd considering it doesnt for people in general. She might have a point if she was calling for an increased movement to manage disabilities but she pushes it way to far. Prevention is better than cure and cure is better than management.
It's also deeply unhealthy to self identify with your condition as a part of yourself for valdiation. My work colleague is not his wheelchair, my grandfathers fucked up leg didnt define him, Hawking was a genius trapped in his shitty body, a decease of the mind is not the person but an monkey on their back they have to fight every day (frankly seeing someone with a mental illness have a productive life is one of the most valiant things I've ever seen), my disability is an incoveniant flaw with the the meat suit I'm stuck with. Lu's problems are not her-she's a dipshit on her own lack of merits.

Dude, the self-esteem movement has nothing to do with this. If it did this shit would have manifested decades ago.
No, what caused this shit is the culture of victimhood and economy of privilege. The Regressive Left has created a subculture where the more victimized someone is, the more immune to criticism they are - it's the entire point of the Progressive Stack, in fact, giving "marginalized" peoples a chance to speak. People want this, so they'll actively pretend to be what they aren't to gain this privilege over others (see also: Shaun King (AKA Talcum X), Rachel Dolezal, Andrea Smith).
The people who would actively fight curing disabled people are the same assholes who believe that curing Autism is genocide and created the now-defunct Autism Genocide Clock - the people who want it to never be cured so they can never lose their special status and ability to win e-arguements by falling back on their disability when they lose. They deserve nothing but ridicule and scorn.
