Just let me say. There is a time to make this All About You. And this is not the time.

Ok. Now. I’m going to make a new fucking thread. ANd I’m going to start over.

blackamazon: read what you linked, what the shit is that? Her household growing up was so feminist, except for the part where her mother did most of the housework? Her fiance is such a great feminist boyfriend, except for the part where he *totally failed* to work on the wedding equally?

…

yeah her wedding with invites and a band and months of planning and some mean person online told her she was being a sop how cruel…why won’t everyone be like the nice feminist woman who wore a purple wedding dress? that’s some radical shit right there.

what the fuck?

Take some responsibility for yourself. All that has happened to you is that you aren’t being spoonfed, think about what it may mean for others here.

KTHANKXBAI.

What Blackamazon, Maia, and Jess said. Like, how many times does this have to happen? Do these people think nobody will notice? When they keep cribbing from the same people–same person? How stupid do they think people are, while they try their damnedest to make a whole movement of social justice about their personal, individual careers?
Do they even know what “radical” means?

Okay, I guess I can do incredulous laughter and overwhelming disgust at the same time. Bfp, mujer, you have more patience than ten of me.

Okay, going back? What Adele said, too. There’s nothing radical about most of us keeping our jobs when we marry, if we can marry, or whatever. Most of us don’t do it to show how independent we are. We do it to survive and keep a roof over our heads and those of our families. We don’t have the choice. Just how unconscious are these people? It just boggles my mind.

Darcy, I’m a little fuzzy about the history too but read everyone’s comments, pay attention to what BFP is saying and really – it’s not about me or you not fully getting it.

I think it’s pretty clear what some of the feelings and thoughts are about in relation to the article. Maybe that should be enough without knowing any backstory?

I don’t give a fucking SHIT if you read this blog or want to form a movement or pray to baby jesus. I don’t give a shit about fucking solidarity that insists on centering the needs of some white woman instead of MY fucking needs. Did you ever think that maybe I have a fucking good reason for not feeling like rehashing the entire sordid history for your eager little eyes? Did you ever think that maybe rehashing the entire situation so that you “learn” is physically painful to a whole fucking bunch of us? Did you?

Take your “solidarity” and your threats and your desire to learn and please. Go find some feminist wonder woman to share it with. I’m sick of it.

Now. Fucking ENOUGH.
