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:

I can't stand that shit about "not being a feminist" either. They're thinking of bra-burning, all-sex-is-rape, female-superiority feminism, which was like two generations of feminism ago and at least 40 years old. People bring it up these days as an excuse to call organizations like NOW hysterical and run all current feminist ideals into the ground.

It's like Ann Coulter. If I ever saw that demon-spawn, I'd tell her "if you think women should sit down and shut up, do everyone with a vagina a favor and sit down and shut up."

Argh bargh ranting in ur el jay.

I know, it pissed me off royally. I need a goddamned t-shirt that says 'FEMINIST' across the back in big letters.

Goddamn. It just misses me off so much that people act like sexism is gone.

My friend has a t-shirt that says "this is what a feminist looks like." It's pretty awesome.

I wanted to make some sarcastic comment about how sexism went away ages ago involving making someone a sammich, but you know, I'm just too damned pissy to make jokes. Just pretend I did.

I need one of those.

And your joke is noted.
