That is NOT Feminism

May 31, 2010 21:19

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 ( Read more... )

girls don't work that way, wanktastic, mary sue, over 100 comments!, It’s like porn for petty hate fetishists, riding the failboat, windshield wipers for e-spooge, wankstorm, speshul snowflakes

Thank you so much. *sighs* Didn't realize my RAWR moment at the end would make people think I feel all women should be in the kitchen, barefoot and naked! (Or something. I'm exaggerating.)

As a frequent naked chef, I recommend an apron at the least, particularly when pan-frying or sauteeing. Oil splatters >.>

Ahah! XD Agreed. Although making cookies naked tends to be okay.

I always recommend aprons too, my sister has a scary scar near her bellybutton from pantless bacon frying D:

Someone I work with was TMI-ing about her husband and happened to mention that he has a scar on his penis now from frying chicken naked.

Oh man, that sounds really painful! I'm so glad when I cook naked I don't have anything flopping around down there just asking to be caught in the stove door or splattered with hot oil.

Seriously. The OP has a valid point.

*bows* Thank you! Was beginning to wonder. Not that everyone has to agree, but jeez.

I think some people might've skimmed the post, missing out on the rather large point. Gender doesn't equate (or negate) experience.

Exactly! Equality! That's what I'm about. I'll assume people skimmed. Sometimes I can ramble and make points obtusely.

Yeah for serious.

For serious. Did they even read the rant properly? Y has got years of experience on X in the scenario given.

EXACTLY. Yes. Thank you! I didn't mean EVERY scenario EVER. I've just happened across this one, in its various flavors, at least a dozen times.
