Could you tell me what separates the blog's content/theme from the ideas you mentioned? I know there is a big difference in intention but I can't put my finger on it.
I've been watching them call women they don't like "chicks" and tell them to "fuck off" when they don't agree with their politics and the whole thing seems so not right to me. I really like their creative approach but I was afraid there would be contradictory logic in the blog and I'm starting to see some.

Specific examples? I like that they're no bullshit about transphobia and queerphobia and appropriation. They're just as bad as sexism if not worse.
Even if they're not totally successful, I like that they take femininity, blur any definition of it so its very personal and subjective, and turn it against the patriarchy. What liberal feminism fails to do is reclaim lets say housewife/motherhood in any subversive way when you're in a hetero marriage, when you're white, when there's no push for universal childcare, there's no discussion at all on who stays home, and you're entirely at the financial mercy of your spouse. Maybe a fuckyeahsubversivehousewives is possible, I just haven't seen an example yet (in a private white heterosexual couple way). it assumes the institution of motherhood is completely fine the way it is as long as you choose it freely.
