Jeesh! Ya know I have a handful of feminist friends, personally I like strong women, so I feel comfortable in saying this to you all; one common denominator that many of you seem to share is that you always rise to the slightest bait and are ready to fight. Then once you get started nothing else is important over winning your point, argument, whatever. On a board, this equates to hijacking a topic and in this case, one that’s kinda important. In a few sentences (with respect) let me say what I’ve told my friends when they get they’re nose bent out of shape at a party or whatever… “calm down”. You don’t have to put on battle dress over every little perceived slight or if you do then just start a thread to vent over. Try and focus on what we CAN agree to work towards together.
You girls(women)are a very important part of this dialogue and emerging movement of adult WM’s organizing themselves into some kind of united voice. Also, the more militant of you are important because of the fact that you ARE out there pushing the edges. The further you push the more likely it is that we’ll get a better mainstream compromise. Heck, the fact that TastyTrixie even HAS a manifesto is a credit to her sincerity. It’s more than a lot of WMs have bothered to accomplish so far. BUT, not everybody is going to dig you or your attitude. That comes with the territory. Being tough is not the same thing as being combative. We have certain missions in common. Stay cool, stay focused, stay here.
