The above is written by Biting Beaver, a RadFem of some note, and really it was the straw that broke the camels back. I realise now that there are those out there who genuinely hate me for my gender: How, I ask myself, am I supposed to respond?
I have had some recent encounters with misandary:
- Ve met a long term correspondant and corsetry fan who upon recognising her looked at me and said "WHAT? Your with a *MAN* now?" and,
- Having 'marched for those who couldn't was met by someone who attempted to impress Ve by saying "Yeah, I remember you...I don't remember *YOU*!"
- starred words come with the tone of you are a piece of worthless shit! Thanks, classy...
In translation this amounts to nothing more than 'Hey honey, why don't you come home with a REAL MAN!' aimed in my general direction - yes bigots are all retarded knuckle draggers, but given their political presence in the feminist movement I would like to ask feminists the following question:
- Are you seeking equality or are you seeking to become that which you so clearly dispise...
- Why do you spend years 'deconstructing gender' only to hastily reconstruct it and attempt to shove it up my arse without even exchanging a word with me...
- Why should I treat a RadFem any different than a racist ?
My father was a drunken bully who made my mothers life hell with his irresponsibilty and sexism: my mother was the one who saved us all...I was a feminist before I was aware of most masculine politcs. Feminism holds a critical place in this world and I happily back it to the hilt - misandary has none and I for one will not tolerate it...
Ve seems bored - she is a big sexist. If this was about women she'd be all over it, but she's ignoring me and patting me on the head metaphorically...she's such a man! ;)

There are feminists and feminists. It's a big school of thought. And like all schools, there are bullies, geeks, fools, swots and sporty types.
In the words of my mother, who never claimed to be a feminist, but was a teacher and met all sorts and dealt with them evenly and fairly: "treat people as you would want yourself to be treated."
I just want a world where what I can and cannot do is not based soley on my gender.
Or yours.
