Big slight on Dworkin there.

And Dworkin would likely have a lot to say about #metoo. If she criticized it, it would probably be for not going far enough. Which is all the more reason characterizing #metoo backlash as second wave is...let’s say inaccurate.

Possibly. My line of thinking was this:

I suspect this is related to anti-baby boomer sentiment.

Well put.

And everyone has always hated Katie Roiphe.

LOL it was her doing this that inspired me to learn how to cook. (Also, she wasn’t a very good cook and it was self-defense. Years later I found out my father had taught himself for the exact same reason.)

Not sure how they get hatred of sexuality out of women wanting to be able to own their own sexuality whilst not getting harassed or assaulted.

Butter is awesome and margarine is crap.

I had to really make a stink about it, but Amazon finally agreed to only use USPS to send me stuff when no other carrier can do it.

I wrote “return to sender - not at this address” and put it back in the mail box. My carrier retrieved it, then redelivered it to me later that week.

It really can be relative. I have, at my size, been called “skinny,” “curvy,” “fat,” and “any man who can get a hard on with you in the room should be committed.” Different strokes, I guess... .
