"Patriarchy has no gender." ~Bell Hooks
I don't know who else is still around the fandomsphere that may read this. The few people I was close to here I've connected with on Facebook, and real life has a taken a toll on all of us in different ways. But writing out Part 3 was always my unfinished business, and at least now I have a slightly more ( Read more... )

Re-post from tumblr cause damn this is too true.

A Quick Guide to Nice Guy(TM) Responses (aka You Can't Win):

• Act friendly: "She lead me on! Bitch!"
• Don't act friendly: "She didn't give me a chance! Bitch!"
• Let them down nicely: "Well she said 'not right now', so I'll keep trying 'til she changes her mind."
• Flat-out say no: "What?! But I'm so nice! ( Read more... )

Wow.....

Jesus, if you're gonna make Lily look like a conceited jackass and hook Snape up with your  Mary Sue, at least be more creative with it.

But that's not the important part.

I reread the wank thread that went on over at HMS_STFU and tried searching other places, but does anyone know where white women tears was even mentioned concerning STFU? I'm lost.

And note to the anons: white women tears can not be racist nor misogynist. It is a counter attack on white womenhood (or white women ( Read more... )

Midnightsfire decided to post THIS link in the Sexual Harassment thread. I don't give a fuck if I get a warning or temporary ban.

When I first read Twilight, I didn't notice all the misogyny and the romanticizing of abusive relationships at first. I didn't even notice the racist undertones, aside from the Quileute/Natives being associated with werewolves has been overdone one time too many.

Dang, I'm just on a roll with new posts within the last couple days, aren't I?

Apparently, there's been a couple reports on misogyny, or reports that involve some level of misogyny in different comms as of late, which is how I found THIS. It's a wonderful post written by bookshop who addresses misogyny in slash fandom. I wanted to pass this along and felt ( Read more... )

You can now add THIS to my list of distractions.

I think I found a gold mine. Actually, take that back. This is more equivalent to TONS and TONS of piles of shit! The starting posts to this thread go back to around the release of Deathly Hallows. And yes, I know it's the FictionAlley Park forums, and it's part of their butthurt character bashing V. ( Read more... )

Note: Okay, FOR REAL this time! :) Apologies for taking a while on this. I've been busy dealing with comments here and elsewhere, along with events happening in real life. And there's going to be a Part 3. Oh dear lord there's a part 3.....
