(April 22, 2014 at 11:44 am)My imaginary friend is GOD Wrote: I dunno, I'm like, a 2nd wave feminist, where the 1st wave was in the 1920s and the second wave was in the 1960s. So I'm pretty old school. I don't really agree with reclaiming the word "slut" and you know, the idea that being sexual to get things you want from men is a "feminist" thing. I have a huge problem with TERFs (Trans-exclusionary radical feminists), ethnocentric feminists (like the ones that think it's okay to go naked to protest the oppression of women in the Middle East), or feminists that don't recognize their privilege as white women or middle class women.
For the record, I don't think that liking pink is a bad thing. It used to be considered "too intense for women" you know, for much longer than it has been considered a "feminine" color. In general, I don't have a problem with femininity, as long as it isn't the shallow variety. I don't have a problem with masculinity, either, as long as it isn't the "bro," "pickup artist," "men's rights activist asshole," or "meathead" variety.
I do have a problem with women who want to be submissive to men not just in the bedroom, but in everyday life. I would have the same problem with men who did the same thing, but I don't really see that. It's like, what the hell? Don't you respect yourself at all? Make your own decisions and don't be so fucking pathetic and co-dependent and sheeplike.
You are the type of feminist I like, I wish there were more like you, or at least more like you in the public eye. We only hear about the crazy ones!

“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom
"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech
