I've heard this argument:

Society at large finds most body snarking acceptable, though, yeah, I can see that.

Yeah, I didn't realize nude hose ever became unfashionable or unacceptable or whatever?

Yes, please. I mean, it's funny and all and it's better than ignoring the situation altogether, but I'd like to see this move past dressing men up in heels for a laugh (a gag that is itself somewhat problematic).

Thanks for the tips! I recognize it's not your responsibility to educate me, so I especially appreciate your willingness to assist.

No, I hadn't — because I see all kinds of criticisms of feminism every day. I assume there's a lot of theory I don't know about and so I have no perception of what exists to even begin to perceive whether it's commonly recognized as legitimate or not.

PS: My post is not intended as preaching at you. Whether or not I'm being "over sensitive"—something women are frequently accused of being—about the possibility that sexism is impacting a situation in my life is something I've given frequent thought to. It appears to me there may be some similarity.

Like how atheists are dogmatic. Fundamentally incompatible with atheism, yet, that's the way people who call themselves atheists behave.

I think you're moving the goalposts, here. I always like reading your comments because they provide history and insight I don't usually see here.

As a sub, I don't feel especially excluded or unwelcome in general by "Feminism at Large" (any more than most anywhere else). The thing is, I agree with the idea that there are possible negative implications to BDSM lifestyles. I don't agree with the mainstream conclusions, but I've read some really compelling…

While because of the wider perception of feminism I often avoid identifying with the word specifically in public—it's perceived as confrontation in ways that are not productive for me—I am not happy with my tacit endorsement of that inaccurate perception. It seems to me that it the generally negative response one…

I see what he is trying to do here and in general I like it fine. It's got some deft phrasing. Etc. But. (There's always a but.)

But the devil! He's trying to mark her! He reached into the computer and!

A few years ago I went to an online meetup. One of the things some of us wanted to do was go see a drag show. One of the woman who to go. She said drag was sexist and offensive to women. I was, like, 28 years old and it was the first time I'd heard someone say that.

"Poison is a woman's weapon"

Wow, I never knew size 12 was plus sized in the US. I thought it started at like 16/18 misses.

I have really nice eyes and I can't do it either. I don't get it. I must be doing something wrong.

I'm white, so I can only guess through analogy, but I don't think it's silly to suspect it.

It's kind of sinister, but not "IVF is deliberately designed to fail for non-white people" sinister. 'Cause I think it is probably a couple-degrees-removed effect of historic white supremacy's continuing effects on "rational" and "not racist" people today.

Oh, yes! Certainly do not yell at or spank.
