As far as I know, Protestants don't have much to do with Mary at all.

I am post Tetris Syndrome, but this is absolutely fabulous. This is art in the internet age.

Hey thanks! I was thinking the same thing. We should be friends. *makes double finger gun*

The problem is that it's a (nigh on) purely symbolic thing. Now, I'm the first to argue for the power of symbolic change. I think that Obama coming out for queer marriage did more for marriage rights than almost anything prior. But I'm thinking that you'd be making a symbolic change in a place where the symbol really…

I'm still unconvinced that trans acceptance by MichFest would be that big a victory. I certainly appreciate that every little bit counts, but from where I'm standing, it looks like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. The things I've heard about MichFest do not themselves seem amenable to this kind of change.

Oh no. Not at all. I guess the joke wasn't funny. I meant that racism, sexism etc should themselves be considered mental disorders. But in jest.

It would be great if MichFest could evolve to keep pace with today. But there comes the question of whether it's still needed at all. Much like the second wave, we as feminists may have outgrown the need for it, and holding onto it out of sentimentality seems a bit misguided. In that sense, it's very similar to queer…

New idea for the DSM-VI.

I don't want to bring you the bad news, but MichFest has far less profile, visibility, or exposure than do MRAs outside of feminist spaces and discourse. I guarantee that among my college students, none of them now what MichFest is (hell, I didn't know what MichFest was until last year), but if I were to ask them if…

Except I was referring to the fact that MRAs exclude feminists in my experience, so I have no interest in playing around in their music festivals.

Oh, I dunno (speaking as a cisman). I'm not interested, really, in changing the perception of MRA or KKK members into inviting those people they exclude. It's not a concession so much as it is an exclusion of those who would otherwise exclude you. It's more like saying, "Have your exclusion because you're so obviously…

Texans like Mayor Parker are the reason I refuse to leave my state to the crazies.

This answer perfectly encapsulates my own reasons for being a male feminist. It's so gratifying to know that JGL is my soulmate.

Miranda is only required when the police want to question you. It's usually standard practice because they obviously want to question most people they arrest, but it's never been strictly necessary in all cases.

That is not the color of mud anywhere I've ever lived.

What the fuck? Did its jawbone leap out of its skin??

Shark is delicious. We must save the sharks so that I can eat more of them in the future.

Raspberries are the worst. It's like eating sickly sweet wallpaper paste with the texture of a condom.
