I wish I had an appropriately pissed-off icon for this. Oh dear stars, do I wish.
I could not believe what I read in that article, and the comments! Especially that one. I know of SEVERAL healthy (read: wonderful, loving, intimate, joyous, balanced, respectful) relationships between people of ALL ethnicities and genders. And the response to it! So, my parents have been happily married for 23 years, but it's a complete lie because my father is really just pressuring my mother into staying with him and taking care of his household and offspring by virtue of the oppressing male-power of our patriarchal society?And, of course, since she's a stay-at-home mother, OBVIOUSLY she's being abused and raped and all other sorts of terrible things. Oh yeah.
Oh my God. I cannot believe that. And her definition of rape! Oh man, that really set me off. I'm still burning. And saying that all sex of any kind with a male classifies as rape. My. God.
How can people think like this?
But I was a good girl and didn't say anything to her. I need to calm down, first!
Ugh. I don't mind feminists, I really don't. At least, to a point. This, however, just kind of catapults over that line.
