I need a new pair of glasses.

One thing I really hate is being called not feminist enough or, worse, misogynist. I'm just the right level of feminist (as is everyone else who identifies feminist) and not misogynist at all

This is usually the reaction (direct or indirect) to any claiming of mine that I prefer to write men instead of women because I don't relate to women in most texts/shows.

Amen, sister! I just can't indetify with the way female characters are written in shows. Like, for example, 99% of them don't feel... "fulfilled" until they have a husband and a brood of children - and the 1%? There just has to be something... wrong with them *rolls eyes*

Exactly. Maybe it's nothing wrong with me and everything wrong with how they're written in the first place.

The whole "if you don't write women and don't want to write women, you're misogynist/unfeminist" argument pisses me off so hard. It's sanctimonious and nothing else; there is zero value in making such an argument because it wins NO ONE over and accomplishes nothing except make the poster feel proud of her own ~progressiveness~. It always amazes me how many self-proclaimed feminists routinely attempt to forcefully impose their own views on the women around them. >:|

Just another day of cred-carding for minority groups. Instead of fighting against the real issues, we need to patrol our own and make sure they're "fill-in-the-blank" enough to be counted.

I went through a time like this. I found it hard to relate to other women, because of the entire family/fulfullment/juggling career kind of thing that totally turned me off

Amen.
