Personally, I see the violence in some of the artwork, not so much as encouragement to violence, but to vent the anger that we are, for the most part, not allowed to express as women.

Hell, the whole schtick about the "angry" feminist, is a stereotype that tries to poison our feelings about our most useful tool for change, the unrelenting, hot, burning anger at the way we as women are often treated in society.

I think the dismissal of girly/femme people within the feminist movement comes from people who haven't really examined their own internalized misogyny. Being told that your own personal style (clothing, hair removal, makeup, grooming habits) is inappropriate for smashing patriarchy is not cool.
