the latest from (anti)feminist

[keryx]

"Feminists" who actually attempt to justify the use of words like "whore" and "bitches" to deride other women. And they just don't get it. People who get angry when you call Paris Hilton a bitch aren't defending her, they're pissed that you're insulting any woman using a turn of phrase with a history of reducing women to objects - without awareness of that and in a way that you wouldn't also insult a man. ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH.

Because it's incredibly feminist to divide (and conquer) women. Really. That's what feminism is all about. *smacks people*

No, I would totally use the same words about a man, if he was a big ho! (Except somehow I never seem to.)

ugh. Should I even click? I'm going to try really hard not to click this time....

I *know* clicking will just give me a big ol' headache.

AND, I wanted to say I love your icon. =)

goddammit! After reading that I was forced to join the community so I could comment.

I hate when people are unable to understand the power and importance of semantics.

Good grief.

I knew I shouldn't have gone there!

And now they are talking about how female comedians aren't as funny as male comedians. Just shoot me, please.

You know, the females on Just Shoot Me weren't as funny as the males.

But I don't mean that in a sexist way, women just aren't as funny/strong/smart/brave as men.

Not clicking. Not clicking. Not clicking.

WTF happened to consciousness raising?

It's hiding, with the women bloggers and designers and the mysterious $.20 of each woman's dollar.

Last night's South Park made me very angry because of the Paris Hilton whore thing. She might be spoiled & rich, and essentially dull, but UGGGHHH!

God damn it, why did I click that?!

I think we seriously have to rehash the "paris hilton: don't call her a whore" subject at least three times a day in the communities I inhabit. *rolls eyes*
