"Well, fuck you. Fuck you, who think feminism began with Germaine Greer and ended with Candace Bushnell. Fuck you, who think kissing a girl while tiddly is real transgression. Fuck you, who ridicule India Knight for dieting then go on television offering up your tits on a plate. Fuck you, for not looking in the mirror when you wonder why there is no solidarity among women. Fuck you, heteronormative journocunts judging who is a proper feminist and who is not while contentedly popping sprogs here, there and everywhere in north London. Fuck you, and your little dog too. You damn right I'm no feminist, cos all feminists give a monkey's for these days is how to claim breast pumps as tax exempt and where to find the best au pairs."

Comment policy for Feminisnt: I do not publish blatant insults and trolling. You must use a name/handle other than anonymous or asdf because I am tired of giving space to detractors who are too lazy to pick a fake handle and too scared to use a real one. I no longer publish comments bitching at me about how feminism is the greatest thing ever. And I may not publish your comment if I have already addressed that specific issue several times already. Read my responses to other comments before asking a new question. Finally, if your comment hinges on an obvious logical fallacy, I might not publish that, either, except to make fun of you. All new commentors have their first comment held for moderation. Commenting on my blog and taking up space on my server is a privilege, not a right.
Furry Girl: a good time not yet had by all.

- I operate SWAAY.org, an accessible sex workers' rights site that educates the general public about our lives and our issues.
- I've been vegan for 12 years because it's the easiest way for an individual to contribute to less violence, suffering, and exploitation.

Thanks for this. Sometimes, people need to yell in order to be heard over the drivel of the unthinking or the unaware. I hadn't seen this writer before, but I'm following her now.

I don't know any feminists who look for au pairs or "pop sprogs" actually. But I went to school with at least three of your VegPorn models so maybe I'm from a special place where feminism means something different that what it means in London.
