One of the biggest criticisms of modern-day feminism is the underlying theme of the movement that says men are bad. Sure, plenty of third-wave feminists will deny this or deflect to the patriarchy but ultimately what it boils down to is hating men.
And Teen Vogue writer Lauren Duca’s tweet admits it:
Wake me up when men are obsolete

Gosh Lauren, thanks for proving our point.
Even her allies (many of them men) were understandably distraught:
Love you, genuinely love your work. But I have a young male child and so that's not a message I can get behind.
— Michael Marshall Smith (@ememess) July 21, 2017
Dude, you’re a male as well – she hates you.
Lol calm down dude
— Lauren Duca (@laurenduca) July 21, 2017
Calm down, dude, she’s only hating on your entire sex.
You've done and keep doing great work. Demonizing or diminishing one gender goes nowhere good. Men did that once. Let's not do it again.
— Michael Marshall Smith (@ememess) July 21, 2017
Oof. Hope she felt that one.
Torn on this. On the one hand, I'm a man trying hard to be an ally, so it hurts to have this kind of broad judgment made about my gender.

Kind of broad? It’s incredibly broad … and while it’s nice to see some push back from men it’s very telling to watch her blow them off as if they don’t matter.
And their willingness to allow her to verbally abuse them because of their ‘internalized sexism’?
Woman: I HATE YOU AND WISH YOU'D DIE.

Again, more proof that third wave feminism is awful.

Uh-oh.
*snort*
Wake me up when women are obsolete
I wonder how much praise a tweet like that would get. I'd probably get doxxed and lose my job.

Yup. But her tweet means she’s WOKE or something.
