I thought he usually fell to a linebacker blitz from the Dallas Cowboys.

7. I'm a feminist.

Ironically, there is a long line of women over the years who came to see me as a jerk. So perhaps I'm a feminist jerk...

17. Yet still a jerk if you were to do a straw poll of particular women!

Though just between you and me, some of those women were jerks.

18. LOL

8. Sounds like what Mom calls "a decent human being."

:thumbsup:

ETA, regarding the part about the dishes: Mom taught me to cook and clean and do laundry before I was 10. In those days, she was fond of saying "Any man who believes in woman's work is a momma's boy." (She's also the one who told me "If you don't vote, you can't bitch.") So I guess I'm a feminist...lol.

[omega minimo]

10. The highest possible praise!!!!

[question everything]

12. They don't care

I just blew it on a conservative dominant board where they thought it was perfectly OK to kill a "baby killer."

And I just told them that the earth is round, is rotating around the sun and the world is 4.5 billion years old, though I doubt that they will get any of this.

19. They are insane and need help

The freeps were making fun of NOW as a bunch of "clam bumpers" and "rug munchers." They can't stand, strong women. They want us barefoot and pregnant.

25. Guess I'm not a feminist then

There was only one I failed to agree with: "You comprehend the connection between women's rights, gay marriage and authoritarianism". Apart from a general urge to surpress those outside the "mainstream", I don't see a connection. Care to enlighten me?

[omega minimo]

26. Yes, the "general urge to surpress those outside the "mainstream" " is key. Where does it come from?

An authoritarian power structure perpetuates its dominance through rigid gender codes.

27. You might be a Feminist if you're tired of this shit.
