What "feminist leadership" are you talking about? We're not a cult.
I'm pretty sure you'd blanch with outrage if I told you that, as a man, you have no choice but to take responsibility and stage a public outcry every time a misogynist did something shitty to a woman. But feminists are supposed...
...still hates women. The conclusion I draw from this is that holding conversations that do not include men is somehow threatening to many people*. I don't believe feminists are the problem here.
Incidentally, I read this Savage Love column just now, and the comments perfectly illustrate the...
Isn't that rather unfair? For all you know, they do, and you just haven't read it because you don't look at feminist sites (or do you? I don't want to assume). I don't see a lot of evidence that the fringe minority is particularly offensive or dangerous, just that they're annoying. For example...
You're right, evkl. Sorry all for going into uber-bitch mode. I got pissed off and reacted disproportionately. Will maintain civility from now on.
BlackJack, I don't know what to say to convince you, but women have a very hard time being believed. If they didn't, the conviction rate for rape...
...as a pejorative proves that you are an asshat.
I have no idea what you just said. A bit of grammar clean-up is in order, perhaps? But as far as I can gather, you just tried to use the prospect of rape and torture to scare me away from my evil arguments. What a class act you are. *thumbs up*
Hole to Nomura: STOP DIGGING.
You think that your male co-workers are qualified to tell you when you're being a creep, but your female co-workers are a bunch of castrating harpies when they do it. You insist that I can't assess the situation because I wasn't there, but I only have your word as...
...that is made by choosing a childlike self-image. The comments are a mixed bag - some people like the style, some don't. Opinions are opinions. *shrug*
The second article is a public posting of a e-mail sent in by a Lolita fashion model, and the person who posted it up on Jezebel seemed to...
Oh ffs. I'm starting to suspect a lot of you guys have never actually met a typical feminist, let alone done any research on a larger scale. Man-hatred - ACTUAL man-hatred, not 'oh, she talks about male violence against women, that's so mean, she obviously hates men!!' - is so fucking rare that...
...realised. I guess the guys I work with have been biting their tongues all this time out of deference to me. I'm so touched by their noble efforts! *tear*
Proof?
You hear that? "Cry" for equality. Like we deserve it or something. We are SUCH whingers.
FYI, feminists regularly campaign...
Ummmmmm, yes I can. Especially since the original context of this talking point was a discussion of lyrics, not music videos (though Christ, the music videos are awful).
Shock horror, some women are sexist, too. Stop the presses!
Then again, some women probably appear in these videos because...
To say nothing of the response when Catherine Tate was announced as a full-time companion. People are just butthurt right now. In a year or so, they'll realise they were being morons.
Are you joking? There are more woman-bashing songs in existence than man-bashing ones. Ever listened to gangsta rap? For that matter, neither of the songs you listed are sexist unless criticising a man due to that individual man's bad behaviour means you have a problem with all men.
Like most people, I imagine, I have no idea what either of these pairings are. Apparently listing the names of the characters involved in the opening post would have been too sensible.
I like slash, but that doesn't mean I'd automatically choose the slash pairing in a poll regardless of what...
He has crazy hair. I approve.
A few people were floating Daniel Radcliffe as the next Doctor (GOD NO), so 26 doesn't seem all that young. Peter Davison was 29 when he was cast.
Well, I made the TV Tropes 'Magic Negro' link, and I still thought this was shockingly racist.
Obama isn't a fictional character. The point of criticizing 'Magic Negro' as an archetype is that it's an example of (usually white) writers trying to show a black character in a positive light, but...
