Sorry, I wrote “amny times”, I meant “many times”.

This is an amazing and nicely angry blog entry, Laurelin. I love it!

I did notice amny times that abusive gender-specific terms clearly show the undeniable misogyny of the patriarchists.

Supposed male “allies” who use sexist language and refuse to seriously listen to us and what we have to say, are clearly not our pro-feminist allies.

Don’t worry about losing your temper in the blogosphere. It’s alright to be very angry sometimes, especially when you notice the deeply entrenched misogyny of our culture!

Oh, it’s definitely not just you, Laurelin.

Seeing it said by someone else is rather validating I try to avoid reading blogs where I *know* this stuff is everywhere, but sometimes they will drag it into ’safer’ spaces (and sometimes it’s just fun prodding the trolls to greater and greater heights of stupidity – the dismaying part is that most of them believe they’re for real).

ooooOO this is *cryptic*!
I mean, NO names pop up in my small twinkle brain whenever I opine on just who could be categorized as a misogynist-male-feminist-identiLYING “ally.”

At least a first letter of the name Laurelin–throw us a bone!

i know – sad that the level of ‘debate’ for some is to try to shut people up. now even though validation from me or anyone else doesn’t seem to be what you’re after, i thought i’d say i find what you write cogent and truthful.
i guess some of the time you just have to retreat to the people you know will talk sense to you and emerge ready to deal with more crap later.

The trollmenz, yes, shutting up the women is their mission in life. meh

Yeah, it’s annoying as hell, Laurelin but as this is the *Women’s* Movement and not the Suck Up To Men Movement those misogynistic jerks can fuck right off. All they are doing is reminding us why we need feminism and strengthening our resolve, so thanks chaps!

Thanks everyone Sometimes I get into that ‘is it just me?’ mindset- which is exactly the point of patriarchy. Have us all divided into our own little worlds, thinking that it’s not the world that’s the problem, but that it’s us.

I’m feeling the love! xxx
