yeah,what a bunch of nastypantses.

I guess it was maybe Gandhi who said "be the change you want to see in the world," or words to that effect...I feel strongly that the less I lose my temper, the more rigorously I adhere to the rules of civil interaction, the more strenuously I avoid DISHING OUT A SAVAGE ASSWHOMPIN TO SOMEONE WHO IS CLEARLY BEGGING FOR IT, the better example I set for people who believe, as I do, that the whole point of a discussion is not to "win" but to learn. so occasionally that makes me appear overly tolerant to the untrained eye; it's all part of my master plan.

but really, I should have known better than to get involved at all.

here's my favorite quote: file this under Orwell, George -

"Well if you aren’t calling yourself a feminist, you certainly don’t get to decide who is and isn’t a feminist or pronounce that women who do anti-women things aren’t feminists."

so I can't say that people who do anti-women things are not feminists. does that mean that people who do anti-women things ARE, in fact, feminists?

I thought that people who did anti-women things were perpetuating patriarchy and therefore NOT feminists. what a fool I am.

screw it. I'm going to slink off and lick my wounds with a copy of Animal Farm. Oh Boxer, only you understand me...
