While I understand the reasons for not wanting her to be UN ambassador, I would say “choose your battles wisely”: this is the kind of thing that makes it easy for alt-right d-bags to mock SJW’s. [/quote]
I think you are vastly overestimating our ability to shut up alt-right d-bags. Whatever we do. Remember: these people consider “listening to women at all” a cause for mockery.
But then, being mocked by the alt right is a very good sign that you are choosing wisely.
That’s always a terrible argument, whoever makes it. I’m allowed to care about both. (And making this argument at one remove, in the mouths of hypothetical alt-right d-bags, does not in fact make it more convincing. Do you consider it valid? If not, why care if the alt-right make it - they’ll do things wrong no matter what. And if so, say so, and we can argue it directly.)
Well, if it were as common as that, you’d be right. But it’s not.
How many other UN honorary ambassadors are fictional characters? Or ever have been?
The message it sends is that women’s rights isn’t a real issue needing actual promotion. Just something for us to look up when there’s nothing important going on.
