What feminism is doing wrong is promoting sexual equality in a world that hates women. Going against the grain is never popular, sometimes even among those it's meant to uplift. Particularly with feminism since most straight women don't want to be shunned by those with whom they'd like romantic relationships.

If "bootstraps" fucked a yogurt commercial, the bastard offspring would be "Love yourself more."

I just want to draw some quick attention to this line from Stanley's NYT piece (emphasis mine):

Makes the meatball sandwich sign look rookie by comparison.

The victims of abuse are usually the first ones to defend it, just as you have. I'm sorry you were forced to do hard labor as a child, and also beaten as a child. Even tho you are not.

I always knew you were a cat.

First, thank you Jessica Coen for making this site great for so long. I really can't say much more than that, it'd take to long and you probably have something to do other than reading me gush.

Yes, but I'll be fucked if I'm going to give that organization ANY credit after the way they completely botched this situation.

I'm getting so tired of the "Real men do X" thing. "Real men" hit women. "Real men" rape women. "Real men" make excuses for other real men hitting and raping women. "Real men" also (and overwhelmingly) don't hit women, don't rape women, and condemn men who do. They're all "real men." That is the damn problem. I don't…

To take something away from the man I love that he has worked his ass of for all his life just to gain ratings is horrific.

That quote says everything. I totally understand the feeling of wanting to not relive one of the scariest and horrifying moments of your life. The problem is, she doesn't appear to not want to…

I wondered when it would happen to my generation.

Well that's just a whole bunch of sad right there. Sad because she thinks it's a ratings ploy, sad that she defends her husband, sad that it reminds me that even after everything that went down she made that man her husband, sad that it took the second video for this punishment to come down when the first was horrific…
