My computer continues it madness - the most recent perk is that the help bubbles are written with font size 1 or thereabouts - it's really just a few squirly lines and that is all

Ignorant besserwissers who say things like "homosexuality can't be used about women because 'homo' means 'man'" in a superior tone. If you're going to be an ass, at least be an ass who knows the difference between Greek and Latin.
Ignoring the whole it's-a-different-friggin-language issue for a slight moment...by that argument, I wouldn't be a homo sapien. *Ahem* THIS is why I get pissy about the feminazis (as opposed to sane feminists) who want to change every word in the English language that is in any way male. I am still a part of mankind, thank you very much, and I am not insulted by the connection.
It's so silly. "Aha! You said mankind! Perpetuating patriarchal oppression!" Like there aren't actual acts of repression that should be dealt with instead.
'Sides, the Swedish word for human is feminine, so according to that logic men shouldn't be allowed to call themselves human...
The crap over woman/womyn is even worse.alara_rFebruary 15 2004, 08:19:29 UTC
Oh, tell me about it. People don't seem to realize that at some point in the language, *English* lost the distinction between "human" and "male" that used to be in it. "Man" *actually*, etymologically, means human

People who imply that virgins shouldn't write slash, because getting some is evidently research in the name of art.
Well, people are stupid. It's like saying that women can't write male/male slash, also because of their lack of experience. Last time I checked, most slashers were women. (Knew a guy like that, god damn heterophobic [which, in my book, is as bad as homophobia], who thought he was God when it came to writing slash because he had first hand experience. Idiot.) I can give more examples, but it'll get ranty, so I won't. ;) Either way, yes, very stupid.
*giggle* Suddenly remembered a Berglin cartoon that went something like this: "Are you saying that your son's kindergarden teacher ritually whipped him, pushed a whole toy railroad up his ass and then filled the kindergarden with green slime?" "If that's what he says. Children never lie."

I mean, it's *fantasy*. Not sociology.
