“Generally, once men have said that they are feminists, they feel free to behave in whatever scummy manner they see fit towards women. The reason I loathe virtue-signalling so much is not because I'm against people bigging themselves up [...] but because boasting only makes sense when it's about something you do well. People who do nothing worth talking about will invariably boast about the way they are; their virtue-signalling is not a prelude to virtue but rather a substitute for it. In fact in can encourage them to behave even worse than they would otherwise; one thinks of those men working for charities who will happily head into a disaster zone and make whores of the poverty stricken female population.” — Julie Burchill
