come away

And do not think you shouldn’t be standing on that chair, shouting ‘I AM A FEMINIST’ if you are a boy. A male feminist is one of the most glorious end-products of evolution. A male feminist should ABSOLUTELY be on the chair - so we ladies may all toast you, in champagne, before coveting your body wildly.

no, what will happen is I will kick him in the bits because I’ve yet to meet one ‘male feminist’ who wasn’t a manipulative misogynist wanker. this quote rly upsets me, because it’s bullshit; leaving aside whether men can call themselves feminists (they could if they weren’t almost all so mansplainy about it), I’m not licking someone’s arse just because they say I’m a human being. That is a very, very basic right.

The description of her book, How To Be a Woman:

“There’s never been a better time to be a woman: we have the vote and the Pill, and we haven’t been burnt as witches since 1727. However, a few nagging questions do remain…

Why are we supposed to get Brazilians? Should you get Botox? Do men secretly hate us? What should you call your vagina? Why does your bra hurt? And why does everyone ask you when you’re going to have a baby? Part memoir, part rant, Caitlin Moran answers these questions and more in How To Be A Woman – following her from her terrible 13th birthday (‘I am 13 stone, have no friends, and boys throw gravel at me when they see me’) through adolescence, the workplace, strip-clubs, love, fat, abortion, TopShop, motherhood and beyond. “

this is jessica valenti on steroids

fuck memoir. and i know body image stuff is important but a lot of it and the mainstream feminist emphasis on dating and rooting men is just argggh.

you know, for some reason, I was *honestly* thinking that the few small nagging problems was going to lead into oh, men still are raping women at horrific rates, beating/killing them at home, etc..

which would mean she would be employing *sarcasm* when she was talking about those small nagging problems. but no! she was NOT employing sarcasm! she was not being ironic (on purpose at least)! she was being serious! she really DID write a book about small nagging problems!

and woah. let’s all get on a chair and covet mr’s body! cuz that’s the point of getting men to call themselves feminists! NOT, yano, getting them to stop beating us or raping us or whatever. the point is to get us all to HAVE SEX WITH YOU!!!!

i mean, really, she plagerized from mr. in a sense. he should really make her prove that she came up with that idea on her own.
