Oh No!

[sev]

(Ow!
That hurt!
I poked my nose into feminist again.
When will I learn?)

The scales have dropped from my eyes! I'm so ashamed I didn't realize that the playing field is already level and women should stop agitating for Special Treatment! The status quo is Right and Normal and wanting something different is asking to upset the Natural Balance.

Now I understand that the heteropatriarchy would just give us everything we need if we'd sit down and Ask Nicely. Or even just sit down -- because they know what we need, better than we do! But since we're Mean Feminists and won't listen when they tell us what we really need, they're going to withhold their approval, because we've proven we Don't Deserve It.

And we could All Get Along if women would just stop Rocking the Boat. Pointing out so-called "inequalities" is just Attacking Men.

I've been so confused and wrong! I'll just have to Sit Down And Shut Up, now!

Kisses!

Yeah, I went and had a read in there the other day too. But as someone who runs from conflict, I felt I had little to contribute.

So I'll be over here *being* feminist, in case anyone wants to point at me and go "See! There's one right now!"

Why do all the feminism forums on the net end up like that?

[sev]

Because the dominant culture weakens us by convincing us we shouldn't defend our territory.

or perhaps just because people suck. (sigh.)

There, there, missy. We'll forgive you.

[lcohen]

come here and say that.

[sev]

don't worry your pretty little head about it, dear.

[lcohen]

ooh! pretty words distract me!

Now, now, missy. You're being quite confrontational, and you know as well as I do that being confrontational never helps anything.

[lcohen]

don't make me look at my salad and not spit water on you.

That's going to be a bit tricky. Hmmm.
