27. Thank you! Bless you! Can I throw a party in your honor?
I think I should earn the same amount of money as one of the guys does for the same job.

Right there with you. In fact, I'll go on to say that women have to work HARDER for the same amount of money, or to get promoted. I have had some kick ass women managers back when I did the office thing, and more than one male manager that was basically occupying space.

I'd really like to have reproductive freedom over my body, I really think that's swell.

It's your fucking uterus -- you absolutely have control over it. The result is not always fair to men, but it really can't be any other way.

And you know what? I don't hate guys! Really! I love 'em. I have a kick ass feminist boyfriend.

Yeah! I have a kick ass feminist wife too, and I love her dearly. She's my best friend, partner, and lover.

I don't burn my bras, either. I like dressing up and wearing makeup and flirting too. Heck, I even shave my legs and armpits too!

Damn good thing you don't burn your bras, 'cause it's my understanding that they get sore after bouncing around all day. And I don't really care if you wear makeup and shave or not, well maybe the shaving part.

But I'm still a feminist.
A radical feminist too.
But I'm quite tired of having "feminist" being a dirty word.
SAY IT LOUD AND SAY IT PROUD DU FEMINIST WOMEN AND MEN


I'M A DU FEMINIST! Although there is a small subset here who have set the "feminist" agenda for themselves that would vehemently disagree with that statement.
