Here’ some free advice, if you want to play with the boys, you’ve got to play by their rules, not demand that you get extra consideration for all those hormones.

You couldn’t get a better illustration of the idea of “feminism” held by people who haven’t bothered to find out about it. Men are the default. Feminism consists of learning to play by their rules. Fail.

“YOU’RE THE VULGARIAN, YOU FUCK”

More on this tomorrow (maybe). I’m still getting over the WTF effect. And, yeah, that infinite tape loop of shitfuckgoddammitfuckingwhatthefuckyoufuckingasswipefuckheadedfuck?
Still going.
So, for now, what Cara said (h/t Carolin…

I don’t have the stomach to read whole comment threads, but when I checked it just now the few commenters on the page I read appeared to take the swearing thing completely seriously and believe that the f***ing f**ing f***comments above were just how the posters, um, talk normally. D’oh! F**ing funny.

Timmeh’s commenters have a way of descending on blogs en masse and destroying the atmosphere with heavily racist and misogynist abuse, so watch your moderation queue. Interestingly, I find those much worse than mere potty-mouthed-ness.

…or any number of words used in that scene.

I very rarely swear, but if it’s going to keep the Real Menz away, then maybe I should start! Although, my lack of a push-up bra and my ability to think for myself already do that for me, thank the goddess. Luckily, a girl like me finds it very easy to make friends with the sort of genderqueer bisexual men whose company I enjoy. The idea that I would want to get married is completely bizarre.

I like how Rachel has decided that we’re all menstruating. I guess the way to be “taken seriously” is to throw out generic anti-feminist slogans. (Although, that’s not really being taken seriously). On the other hand, if women write about violence, slavery, media, politics, class and race issues, etc, like the writers of Feministe, apparently that’s “boring”. It sure isn’t boring to me, or to other thinking humans.

I didn’t check, but if it’s true that Blogher only focuses on mommy blogs and cat blogs, then I’d say that BlogHer is anti-feminist, because they’re making it look like women never write informative blogs, which they do. I’ve never seen a post on a feminist blog about one’s kids. The cat posts I’ve seen have been largely ironic, poking fun at the stereotype. The commenters over there really have no idea what a feminist blog is.
