Most of it was stuff that not only feminists, but all left-wingers would agree with. But that last one was something where women have made out I and others who support legalised prostitution and porn aren't really feminists. Y'know, stuff like saying that holding those views are 'anti-feminist' and me being told I care more about pedophiles and rapists than DUers. There's a lot of insults and abuse aimed at women who hold those views on porn and prostitution, and there shouldn't be...
I recall you getting upset when someone called you a second wave feminist. That's when I told you that I don't view myself as anything either, but I'd once done a quiz that said I was third wave. That's in no way identifying myself as anything, so I'd appreciate it if you didn't label me, nor use me to try to score points against a DUer I like a lot...
Thanks...
on edit - another thing. A few feminists are prudes and puritans. There's nothing shocking about saying that. Just like every other group, feminism contains a few very silly types, including some I've seen who have no issue dancing way too close to either embracing transphobia or totally ignoring that those they champion were transphobic. It's no different than what I've found being pro-Palestinian. There's some who are anti-Semitic, and they shouldn't be ignored or protected, because just like feminism, the cause is a good one that doesn't need that shit clinging to it...
