Yeah, well, I like spiderine, she's a friend, but there's something... I dunno... bullying about the declaration.
It's not her so much as the manipulative social engineering experiment.
I've had enough of being told what I as a woman should think and believe.
The feminist movement does not exist to teach women what they should think. That's insulting and disrespectful of women. The feminist movement exists to represent the interests of women as they are. Those women whose interests the movement has ignored should speak up.
I just thought is was very brave of you to speak your mind, after countless people has aggreed with her. Though she too was brave for saying what she said... so...
Anyways, you are, in my eyes, quite amazing for saying what you said.
*blushes* Thanks. I tend to piss people off when I do this, but yeah, I've been called brave before, on other things.
I've been emptying my email box (unread) pretty regularly the last couple days though. *g* I'm responding only to the people I know, since I don't plan to make this discussion my life for days on end. :)
