Sometimes you don't have to read the article

to know that it's going to piss you off.

I hope that Karen Salmansohn doesn't come off as too bitchy or strident or controlling or un-feminine as she explains the foundations of feminine-ism.

BTW, glossing over your accusation that I'm ugly in spirit,

I stand by what I said. Calling someone a cunt is ugly. Actually less in spirit and more corporeal. Maybe it doesn't mean much to you, but most people I know very believe that it is the strongest single word insult that can be leveled at a woman.

The rest, I leave. I do have a better understanding of why you're angry, I suppose, so my purpose -- trying to figure out what the hubbub is about -- has been met. I disagree, but that changes nothing.

Point wasn't to defend my action, which I know is generally not considered okay and I prolly shouldn't have put it in a friend's LJ where people who don't know me would read it--point was to question you for getting on my ass about that and yet defending this woman who makes blanket claims about a whole group.

But, you're totally right, we should absolutely persecute the person who calls George Wallace a douchebag, not George Wallace himself. (yes, I know the comparison is extreme; the analogy stands)
