6. Probably not joking...probably a gender studies student...
Edited on Sat Nov-03-07 09:35 AM by Concerned GA Voter
...just learning about how pervasive "sexist language" is in our day-to-day lives. Yea, language matters, but what also matters is not coming off like a lunatic.

My ex- was quite the feminist, and had certainly been exposed to all the arguments relating to this topic, but she always kinda shrugged at it. The most acknowledgment she'd ever give the subject would be throwing in a "man, THAT woman's got some clit" every once in awhile to offset the grow-a-pairs and got-big-balls comments. She'd never really fuss at anyone about it tho. It seems kind of pointless--or even counterproductive.

P.S. - Next time someone calls me a dick, should I launch into a rant about the sexist language they're using?
