Oh god, thank you for this. I appreciate the inclusion of the second spreadsheet and the discussion about nobody requiring to have sex, man or woman. The comments at deadspin were all, "how hard is it to just give it up for him once in a while?" Maybe she didn't want to, and maybe the dude didn't want to, either.

here's my sex spreadsheet

"Nice guys who like pretty ladies" need to hear "Nobody fucking cares about your boner" a lot more. Women don't exist as decorations and props for male enjoyment and appraisal.

Nerp. Doesn't work that way. Because all misogynists are assholes. If you disagree, give me an example of a misogynistic viewpoint that is not the viewpoint of an asshole.

Yes. Convenient stories that are too simplistic to stand up to scrutiny but that conveniently make the author's point are usually made up or embellished. I've spent a lot of time on the internet and read a few Jack Chick tracts. I know that trick,

It isn't written anywhere that, as a feminist, I have to like or support all women.

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?"

Right?! Like, how does she not see the connection...

I don't think you're opposed to gender equality. It's fine if you don't call yourself a feminist, or if you disagree with some of the tenets of the mainstream movement. I'm not a particularly active feminist and I don't generally self-identify as one. However, I also told a colleague in no uncertain terms that I would…

Supporting gender equality IS feminism. Do you really not see the difference between choosing not to parade around holding up a sign that says "FEMINIST" and saying that you actively do not believe in equal rights for women? I hate to break it to you, but these women are not saying "I don't refer to myself as a…

"Oh noes, the 'WON'T YOU THINK OF THE CHILDREN' maneuver didn't work! Crap, better go straight to the 'I WIN YOU LOSE NEENER NEENER' gambit. Worked in third grade!"

They weren't feminists. They weren't. They were women who felt judged by your mother's choice and decided it attack her for it. If they were in the majority, she got the short end of the stick.

Oh, lookie. He is doubling down. He added at public or someone else's expense. I almost bet that he means that women who want their employer health care etc, are the same as women who accept drinks at the bar. Oh he is just precious.

Ain't he adorable?

Oh, dumb person with a sign, the children wouldn't be dying if we let their mothers have birth control - they still wouldn't be able to afford treatment, but they wouldn't have to either, since there woudln't be children to treat.

Wait, wait, wait. Feminist strangers yell at you daily? Where do you live?!

Nope, it's a myopic view of the world through the eyes of someone—most likely—living in the US. In the developing world, access to effective family planning tools improves maternal and child health by allowing healthy spacing between pregnancies and thus improving the chances children and mothers receive adequate…

Well, I can say two bad things about it.

Because I want to be treated like a lady, not like a person #womenagainstfeminism

I totally support the right of women to post naked selfies, and do whatever the fuck else we want to do, but there's something about writing, "I dont [sic] need feminism because getting drunk at a party and having sex with a stranger is just irresponsibility, NOT RAPE!" and then taking a picture of that message in…
