She's not wearing them on her fingers, though. She's doin it wrong.

On the other hand, I was watching "Snapped" one day in a particularly pissy mood and my husband decided to comment on my choice in tv shows. I told him I was taking notes for future reference. He left me alone to watch in peace for the rest of the day.

Again, judge me to your heart's content. I genuinely don't care about your judgment or anyone elses. I care about fanatics actually harming the lives of gay people by actually infringing on our rights and freedoms.

Meanwhile people who think that Christianity is foolishness see the guilt caused by Christians pointing out sin and conclude that that they are motivated by hate.

maybe. but the result is the same and the point is, the people doing the misconstruing aren't going to accept responsibility and stop doing that, so it's up to the movement to improve their image and become a 'cool' cause, as dumb as that sounds. but that's how you gain mass appeal, that's how you stop getting dumb…

no, of course not. but why are all hollywood celebs so keen to show their support for gay rights but famous women don't want to use the word 'feminist' to describe themselves? it's not just other people casting feminists as angry and irrational - i'm not saying that doesn't happen, but the movement hasn't exactly…

but don't you think part of that misconception stems from feminism itself? that maybe, as a movement, we haven't exactly been the greatest at getting our message across without making it seem like we hate men and women who don't want to be ball-busting CEOs?

I was more excited that I got to see what Ky Ryssdal looks like
