My icon is a joke stretched to the outer limits of recognition. :)
Way back when, there was some sort of thing spreading around the Internet of someone who claimed to have -- I think it was a pic of one of the actors in the LOTR movies, nude. It was clearly a fake, and people made fun of it by saying "He says, 'MY HED IZ PASTEDE ON YAY!1!11!!!!!1!'"
So there were a few icons and such floating about reading MY HED IZ PASTEDE ON YAY!!11!!!
I decided to make that the text of my icon because, in a supreme twist of whateverness, his mask is actually pasted on in a sense, so it's funny.
You raised what I think is a useful criticism of feminism, that it can become dictatorial, proscribing preferences as unfeminist without examining the complexities behind them.
:)
Yeah. Occasionally people espouse stuff like that, which can still make me uncomfortable. But I'm really grateful that I learned that's not what feminism is, and very grateful to the women who took the time to listen through my anger and understand and explain why feminism isn't about that.
