Footnote #3 is worth pointing out, I think:<p>&gt; The existence of people like Jessica is not just something the mainstream media needs to learn to acknowledge, but something feminists need to learn to acknowledge as well. There are successful women who don&#x27;t like to fight. Which means if the public conversation about women consists of fighting, their voices will be silenced.<p>&gt; There&#x27;s a sort of Gresham&#x27;s Law of conversations. If a conversation reaches a certain level of incivility, the more thoughtful people start to leave.<p>I imagine that this idea applies to many situations. Replace &quot;feminists&quot; and &quot;[successful] women&quot; with something else.
