(22,271 posts)I got called on the carpet about my use of the word "bitch" in my title via pm by someone who is well-known on this board I won't copy what she wrote to me, and my first response to her was fairly mild and polite. But then she kept pushing, wanting me to, essentially, side with her and her group and she asked my opinion. This was my response:
OK, that's it. Your name was not mentioned and the thread IS a light-hearted welcome back, glad to see old friends kind of thread when some asshole(s) alerted for stupid, stupid shit. So, yeah, when people act like dipshit tight asses other people are going to make fun of them.
I've been a feminist since the 1960's and will put up my feminist/activist creds up against ANYONE'S on this board. Anyone. I've walked the walk for over 40 years and this is what I have to say to you -- you're making the rest of us look bad. They're making fun of the tight-asses who proclaim themselves as spokespersons for the entire feminist movement and for the feminists on this board when in reality, you all don't have a fucking clue.
You accuse people willy nilly of misogyny so often that the word has become meaningless and elicits ridicule. YOU did that!
I'm not interested in your inter-nicene spats because this is a discussion board and people have different opinions and they express them. Sometimes we agree, sometimes we disagree but reacting like each and every disagreement with regards to women is a personal affront to you or some Group on DU IS joke-worthy. You know this and you know your temper tantrums are ineffective so one has to question, why do you REALLY do it? I could probably give it a good guess but, seriously, I'm not that interested.
You wanted my opinion? Well, as Dylan once said, "Don't ask me nothin' about nothin', I just might tell you the truth." You just got it.
