The Majority Of This Post Is Stolen Whole-Cloth From Octopedingenue

Except this, which is another example of why it literally makes me see red when I hear girls say they aren't feminists. Like, what, you want to to be paid 3/4 or less of what a man is for the same amount of work while simultaneously spitting on everything you mother did to get you where you are now? Get the hell out of my gender. (And yes, I DO understand some of the stereotypes that are attached to the word 'feminist' but what it actually means is that you think men and women are equal, and disassociating yourself from that is a HUGE step backward, imho.)

On a happier note, check out the translation of the book Rue drops in episode 5 of Princess Tutu. (Translation is in the comments.) Now, I wibble a lot over Rue, but this just makes me wibble harder.

Also, this is totally a Fakir song:

Also, I had linked to the wrong video. The video is amusing, but has nothing at all to do with Fakir. Sorry.

Well, there is a vocal minority that supports feminine superiority, and these people get more attention due to being crazy. Also, there's feminism in terms of fiction, but that's a whole other basket of tuna.

That's what I assumed. It's a great car commercial, but I figure Fakir didn't design it. (Fakir: Writing the Automobile into existence?)

That song is lovely, and I definitely agree.

Yeah, and I kinda feel that abandoming the word because of the crazy!fringe is dumb and disrespects all our foremothers did for us, you know?
