(9,989 posts)I know we've clashed before and we don't always agree on what is or is not exploitative of women.
I just want to say, I completely respect and admire the heavy lifting you've been doing on these threads. Goddess bless you. I cannot believe some of the willfully ignorant things coming up lately here, and it is really painful. There are way too many people (not gonna presume gender here) who have obviously never read any kind of Feminism 101 stuff.
And yes, this being a board that claims to be liberal/progressive, I do NOT think it's too much to ask that everyone take 20 minutes out of their lives to read some goddamn Wikipedia pages about the history of the women's movement. Of course you can't base a revolution on that, but it would make a lot of people posting here sound a lot less stupid if they were willing to spend a day or two reviewing the easily-available decades of political theory, and maybe even giving it a little bit of serious thought, before taking over the board with dick jokes.
