#NotAllFeminists?

I would say that most of the comments here are exactly that, which is so ironic...

It’s a shame that so many people think that they have a right to children. Children are not toys, they’re not objects, they’re not property. If you can’t take care of a child and you’re pregnant, that’s what abortions are for.

The first person that will have to deal with whatever problems an alcohol and/or drug addicted mother causes is THE CHILD. Not the mother. I am very pro-choice - if a woman wants to terminate her pregnancy, that is her choice and she absolutely should have the right to do so. But if a woman wants to continue her…

It sure is easier than raising a child... If you depend on a vice so much that you cannot quit for 9 months, how do you expect to be able to raise a child?

Yes, yes, I get it - FAS does not matter, babies don’t matter.

Babies don’t matter. Good to know.

Yeah, silly me - I forget that babies and children don’t matter.

“Science doesn’t agree with me, so it’s fear-mongering bullshit.”

Yeah, it’s not like an alcohol/drug addicted pregnant woman is hurting anyone but herself...

You don’t need money to abstain from alcohol/cigarettes, and if you aren’t emotionally prepared to do so, why even have a child? They’re not fucking toys, raising children is work.

That poor child... Why even have one?

Nope. Faggot means what faggot means and none of your sorry whining will change that.

How the fuck does the color of her skin matter in this particular situation? She is black, so she gets the reclaim the N-word if she chooses to do so. She is bisexual, and while I personally dislike the use of the word “queer”, she gets to reclaim it, should she choose to do so. She is NOT a gay man. She is NOT a…

Sorry about the last part - I agree, it was rude of me. That said, my opinion on the use of “queer” remains the same. Perhaps it’s because I am not a westerner. While the word may have evolved into more than just an ugly slur for a lot of English-speaking LGBT people in the West, in countless other languages there’s…

Yeah, but even if she was using the word in order to reclaim it, it’s not hers to reclaim. We all know what the F-word means, and the word does not mean “bisexual woman”.

I love you so much right now :D

She might not hold institutional power, but neither do most gay men. But that is entirely irrelevant anyway. What matters is that when she’s using the word “faggot” to insult someone, she’s perpetuating the belief that being a gay or bisexual man is somehow a bad thing. Just because she’s a bisexual woman, it doesn’t…

I forgot to ask you one thing. By your logic, since you’ve been called a faggot before - you have the right to use the word. Does that also mean that a feminine straight man gets to use the word too? While I am a gay man, I am not out to anyone but my parents and my brother. There’s nothing that marks me as gay. For…

I am not denying the fact that LGBT women face hatred and discrimination. What I am denying is their right to use the word “faggot”. It is not meant for them and it is not their word to use.
