Since I've noticed that calling out shitty, sexist anti-women language and behavior (especially when it's coming from women) using the word misogyny is considered too harsh, and I think just calling shenanigans is too nice, I've decided we need a new word to talk about these issues. A compromise.

Misogynanigans.

God. Why not just say "we white people have no rhythm" or "we black people have rhythm" or "we hispanic people have better rhythm" or "we gay people look the best wherever there's rhythm"? It's all just as stereotypical. (I tried typing more racist remarks than the silly rhythm thing, but I'm physically unable.)

I don't read Oprah books or romance novels in general, I'm good a math, I don't watch Grey's Anatomy, I've never been in an accident in spite of having a drive commute for 15 years, and I own a grand total of 6 pairs of shoes that get me through life.

So first off, don't be including me in your "we" stereotype of women.

And second, who the hell cares if someone loves shoes? Or adores Grey's Anatomy? Or digs reading trashy romance novels? They fail at being a woman? If that's ALL there is to their life, they fail as a person.

Oh, and why the HELL must women constantly think that emotions are "weak?" or "silly?" Where did that notion come from? Sure if you're 24/7 hysterical about something, that's ridiculous, but...emotions are NOT a weakness.

Fail, Charlotte Allen. You fail at woman. If that is your real name and you're not really a guy writing under a pseudonym.
