Thank you for the interesting response! Seriously, and I'm sorry for the other comment that was rather snarky. (I'm back on caffeine after years of being off of it, so am a bit jittery and my personal dick-ness is up.*cough*)

1. You don't need an excuse to wear a skirt. Because they're comfy, because you like how they look, because everything else was dirty, because you hate pants (they're the worst sometimes), because you just fucking feel like it, are all perfectly good reasons.

And she insisted that feminists can't exhibit things like hypocrisy and senseless, baseless hate where, exactly?

Because she is enjoying major pluses of feminism and equality while enjoying the term 'feminazi' and claiming that she is yelled at for setting feminism back by wearing skirts and working as a waitress. Which really is a "WHAT?" situation, here.

Where I live, the people who say they aren't feminists eat babies. I'm serious. They come up to me, tell me "I'm not a feminist", then reach into their bags and take out a whole, live baby. Their mouths distend to an unnatural degree, and they just pop the baby down their gullet. And this is a daily occurrence. I've

You know that scene in "The 40-Year-Old Virgin," where Steve Carrell describes breasts as feeling like a "bag of sand," and everyone stares at him in mixed pity and disbelief for so transparently lying about a basic shared experience?

That. That is what everyone else here is doing with you right now, totally believable

Strangely enough, that part (and the obnoxious yelling feminist part) actually made me think of a girl I knew in grad school (and yes, despite being 24 she was a girl through-and-through - life experience, she had none...).

This is satire, right? I mean... you don't seriously expect anyone to believe that this is actually happening?

Do you live in some weird, violent matriarchal society where women regularly scream at strangers? Do all the women around you insist on spelling it "womyn?"


As a feminist I can tell you that I do not care what career you choose. My sister is a waitress, my other sister is a stay at home mother, and I am a nurse. These are all traditionally female roles, and yet we are all feminists because the definition of feminism means believing that men and women deserve equal rights

I'm calling bullshit on feminists yelling at you in the street everyday for wearing skirts.

I'm not a feminist. I believe everyone should just do whatever the fuck they want to do provided it doesn't infringe on anyone else or their rights.

Can you be more specific? Like, what exactly do they say? "Hey you in the skirt? Way to set back the women's movement! Buy some pants!" I mean, I'm really trying to imagine how this goes down as I've never seen anything like it. I've seen a man eat a whole head of cauliflower on the bus, while crying silently. I've

Oh! I'll be traveling through Alberta in the next couple of weeks, and would love to brunch at a neato retro diner! Will you be more specific?! I've worked as a waitress, own skirts, and have (begrudgingly, admittedly,) done laundry. So, it'd be quite refreshing to get called out for "setting back the women's

OH SO BEARS DON'T COUNT AS "REAL" WOMEN???

As a heterosexual, married male, I must offer two responses to this article:

First, the positive: Thank you for the laugh. This was one of the most insightful, witty, cutting articles I've read in a long time—and it had me howling, until...

Second, the negative: I have realized I know far too many men—and far too many

The best part is the slut shaming while letting her nipple rock out. She doesn't need irony either.

I don't need feminism because I like having no legal recourse when my husband beats me.

And the woman didnt expect them to JUST BELIEVE her (even though, wow, they probably shouldve. How inappropriate it is to pull aside her bottoms and look at the tag. That wouldve triggered me). She let them pull aside the bottoms to look at the tag. Despite swim clothes being a different material than underwear. They

Don't all bikinis look like bras and panties? Maybe it's because I'm a big enough cup size that I buy my swimsuit from the same place that manufactures my bras, but there's no real difference in coverage.
