All right people, let's get something VERY CLEAR here.

I don't care how much you dislike a particular woman. I don't care if she IS, in fact, a loathsome disgusting puke of a human being. I don't even care if she's Ann Coulther or Margaret Thatcher.

"SHE LOOKS LIKE A MAN" IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE WAY OF ATTACKING HER.

(Nor is 'hurr durr SHE'S UGLY durr', but hopefully that's one we've all figured out by now - and if we haven't, get the fuck off my flist.)

I don't CARE if she's got an Adam's apple or a square chin or big thighs or walks funny or WTFever, 'she looks like a man, tee hee!' is sexist, transphobic and generally a shitty thing to do on a whole variety of levels.

It's also amongst the oldest and cheapest shots in the book, and yes, I will fucking end you for it.

baseball bat of +5 feminism, why yes i do rant a lot
