If it weren't for feminism, that book wouldn't even have been written, since the author is female and female writers being both plentiful and taken seriously now (even when they write crap) is a result of the feminist movement.

Precisely.

I'm with you! But I'm still laughing.

I think what it comes down to is that they really don't understand what feminism is, and have bought into the myths perpetuated by those who have an interest in keeping things the way they are.

That's my thought, too. It's pretty likely none of these women have experienced the things they're pretending to be so knowledgeable about.

She's naked. They're probably beating something else and yelling out "Told you so."

Exactly. Every one of these signs may as well have simply said "I have no idea what feminism actually is."

I LOVE the whole thread, but this one made me laugh out loud.

That was clearly sarcasm. Try to keep up.

This is an excellent comment.

This.

Yup. All of which is perpetuated by those with privilege being afraid to lose it.

Did you mean "fundamental misunderstanding of what the theories are..."?

Yeah, I'm not sure what "standard" she's expected to set, here. Shouldn't rapists be the ones who are concerned about "standards" for themselves?

Good question!

Everything in this comment, exactly.

I agree, this is definitely the tone of what she said.

My thoughts on reading her words were that a rapist doesn't care if a victim has confidence in who she is or is very clear about consent, because a rapist will do whatever the fuck a rapist wants to do despite these things. Such is the essence of rape.

It's all well and good to want to empower your child to…

Me, too.

Same, here! Well, at least the "RHONY" part, and who the leg-throwing chick is. I do know who some of the other people in the blurbs below are.
