Using name calling, buzzwords and attempts at shaming to try to scare your opposition into backing down without actually debating the subject at hand are standard tactics of militant feminists. If you don't want to be labelled as such, you should stop using those tactics in the future”
I have seen both shows. I still maintain to stereotype based on the content of them is unfair.
As I have said previously, it is sexist to suggest that a woman who takes part in those shows would fake or exaggerate her reaction to inappropriate behaviour. The subtext inferred is putting her into a sexist stereotype ("slutty", "attention seeking" "used to it" "should put up with it" "asking for it" etc). (Edited to add: not to mention it is inferring that Chloe would value her place in a TV show over a genuine emotion, and, arguably, her safety.)
I'm not sure where you're coming from the accusations of trying to scare people. That's certainly not my intention. Suggesting that I haven't actually debated the subject at hand is ludicrous. I have made my opinion and counter argument everytime. My arguments may be passionate, but they're certainly not intimidating?!
The fact that you think I am upset at being labelled, rather than being bemused that you have felt it necessary to label me as a specific stereotype, makes me think maybe you've misunderstood my reactions or that you're wanting to see something that isn't there.
