Men of Reddit, would you date a progressive, feminist woman who wouldn't put up with even the slightest microagression?

No.

A woman that I work with, whom I'm physically attracted to and who is also attracted to me is a progressive feminist. One of the first things she ever said to me, before we introduced ourselves to each other, before ever speaking beyond saying "hello" was "the fight for equality might look like oppression to those who have enjoyed being the oppressors. The context was she was speaking to other women in the work place we both work at. But she looked directly at me while saying it, completely un-provoked and unjustified other than that I was a man and I happened to be there as she was saying it.

Fast forward a few months later and we get along grand. We're attracted to each other. She's in a polygamous relationship with her husband who is in the military.

She often does not clock into work, but works anyway...helping her friend the manager's production stats. When asked why she does this the obvious answer is helping her manager friend. But occasionally she'll make a comment that her husband who is deployed overseas risking his life, that his bonuses more than makes up for her lost incoming when doing so.

I have little to no respect for her beyond the civility and courtesy that I give anyone. I mean, I like her. I want to like her. But, I know better than to get involved with her.

I personally can't abide a person who behaves in such a manner...suggesting she is a victim of men while taking advantage of her husband whether he sees it that way or not.
