That is NOT Feminism

[weariest_river]

I've read a lot of rants about super-awesome characters who can never lose a fight.  I could personally rant for a good few hours about the same thing, but I won't.

Instead, I'll pick a little part of it that I've not yet seen addressed, but makes my blood boil.  I have no particular story for it, as it's happened to me so many times they've all run

This rant'd be a lot better without the many instances in which you link gender to genitalia, you know.

[weariest_river]

Oh, I know gender =/= sex. But that's kind of my point. Genitals shouldn't be a factor in a fight at all, unless someone is getting kicked in them. Neither gender/sex should get a "Free Wins for Life" card.

[weariest_river]

... I believe I am, then. Can you clarify?

[weariest_river]

I think the only time I made any mention of genitalia is in the following statements

[weariest_river]

I mentioned parts twice. Once was tongue-in-cheek, and once was reference to my own personal characters. The other 99% of the time, I did indeed say "you don't have to be a man

[weariest_river]

I bring up the others as I feel they have about the same bearing. It's about straw-feminism, with a side of gender. Not sex

[thesockflock]

You know, sometimes, gender IS linked to genitalia =\. Not all the time, I know.

Look, I know you don't like it, but in normal, everyday conversations, it's assumed that:

If Penis Then Male
If Vagina Then Female

And that's not gonna change, so accept it and shut up.
