I have never read nor heard the phrase "Feminist Grievance Industry." I am not surprised that it is being introduced into spoken and written language by no doubt, Right Wing strategist, media, speech writers. Now we will see if it sticks.
Yes, I agree it is a phrase that belittles, dismisses women. I do not believe that all of the women coming forward to say Cain sexually harrassed them are delusional. I do believe that Cain and others do believe their denial of harrassment.
Some are just boldly out right lying and I think others really are clueless as to their behaviour being completely over the line, demeaning and in some cases illegal. It's not an excuse for their behaviour.
When I see this sort of written and spoken word I do notice it and will not participate in using, spreading, normalizing the phrase nor concept. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
