Pffft. Don't you know equality happened ages ago and feminism is officially over now? Silly girl.

Oh, of course, I was upset that not more commenters realise that white, heterosexual, middle-class men are in fact the most oppressed group of people in western society today.

Ugh, I'm afraid to read all the comments. :|

It's about 2/3 relatively sensible and 1/3 facepalm, but the facepalming hurts.

My standards are low; I'm just proud of livejournal that they didn't ask "How does it feel to have achieved equality, women? Do you like it?"

Haha. True, true.

Also, US-centric as ever. I was like 'Wut, women's day is in March?' and I had to look it up to find out that it's the date of women gaining the right to vote in the US. Hurr.

Which wouldn't be so bad if LJ had a predominantly American userbase, but like... c'mon, more than half of the Writer's Block replies are in Russian.

Yeah, really. It's called International Women's Day for a reason. Use it.

Indeed.
