Words To Live By
There is no frigate like a book to take us lands away. ~Emily Dickinson
Being a writer is a very peculiar sort of a job: it’s always you versus a blank sheet of paper (or a blank screen) and quite often the blank piece of paper wins. ~Neil Gaiman
Of course I am not worried about intimidating men. The type of man who will be intimidated by me is exactly the type of man I have no interest in. ~Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
The road to hell is paved with adverbs. ~Stephen King
The man who does not read has no advantage over the man who cannot read. ~Mark Twain
I feel free and strong. If I were not a reader of books I could not feel this way. ~Walter Tevis
A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one. ~George R.R. Martin

Re: Feminism and different points of view
Date: 12/25/07 06:57 pm (UTC)I don't see what the big deal here is. You want to exploit women? Want to be exploited yourself? Don't expect me to kiss your ass and coo because you're a woman. If you're a fool and you hurt women I just don't care. If you're a woman, you don't get to be an asshole to other women and get away with it because you think feminists won't justifiably call you on bullshit. There's no complexity there. Deal with it.

Date: 12/26/07 03:11 am (UTC)I don't want to exploit women. I don't want you to coo. I don't even want you to agree with me. Frankly, I don't care if pro-porn and pro-life people are excluded from feminism. I was just making a point about one aspect of the article vis-a-vis my understanding of a common complaint among feminists.
