I only observed it, didn't participate in it; but if one side of a dispute is young freedom-loving technology-savvy nerds from the Internet (i.e. people like me) and the other authoritarian feminists with beliefs I thought didn't exist anymore, and the media portrays the latter as victims and the former as villains, then something is terribly wrong. Some stupidity and bad behavior definitely came from both sides of that, but the media did not get it right, probably because there are relatively few nerds in the media.

“Authoritarian feminists”

Authoritarianism is when women exist and don’t want to be treated like shit.

How they can be authoritarian with no power, I suppose that will never be answered.

I don't even know why I'm bothering to type this giving what you just said, but watch this:

It was not "young freedom-loving technology-savvy nerds", it was literally a movement started by the alt-right that gathered enough public outrage it ruined people's careers and did great damage overall. And if you really think "authoritarian feminists" or whatever exists and are a problem, you need to educate yourself on feminism, I really mean it.
