In the on-going reaction to my blogburst against Status of Women, one pissed off blogger wrote:
REAL women my ass. If they really believed in their shit they should shut the fuck up, stay at home barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen.
Why, she sounds possibly patriarchal. Like the male chauvinist pigs of yesteryear. Is it a matter of becoming what you hate?
Newsflash: So-con women are not all "barefoot and pregnant". We have minds and souls. We have contemplate and cogitate. We contribute to our community. We can be found in many spheres of life. We are not "des p'tites Yvettes" to quote an ill-fated Quebec Women's Minister Lise Payette. And quite frankly, it's precisely this kind of attitude that has turned women off from thr shrill, hysterical, male-bashing feminist movement. Anti-feminists won the Quebec referendum in 1980 and we could damn well have SOW cut if we decided to.
Then why are they bitching? They are acting like a fucking victim.
We are "bitching" because Status of Women is a tax-funded government department that promotes an ideology that I do not agree with, and as a contributor to that agency, I have every right to bitch.
To "act like a victim" means to act like one has no power. We do have power. We have the power of persuasion. We have the power of democracy. We have the power of the internet. I am exercising that power in opposing a movement that has outlived its usefulness.
Women who don’t support each other can bite my ass.
I most definitively will.
(Metaphorically speaking, of course)
Translation: if you're not a feminist, you don't "support" women.
The tyranny of the sisterhood. What a load of crap.
Just watch the feminist bitch within me fight.
You think we're all little wallflowers?
You have no idea.
