There is nothing wrong with feminism, because true feminism is about equality, and I very much support that. But this whole "women are better than men, we must separate ourselves from them, if you're not a lesbian, you're letting men oppress you" bullshit is just...GRAH.
There is a difference between lesbianism and feminism. One can be one without being the other. And it's insulting to both to imply that they're inseparable.
And it's insulting to those of us who have experienced true sexual assault to compare it to that whole, "not tonight...well, okay" thing.
Honestly, I just...I'm really freaking angry at this girl. My blood is practically boiling. She's insulting me and belittling my experience, and she's so batshit crazy that I can't argue with her rationally.
Argh.
P.S. You would be okay with a boy staying in our room, right? Because Annika and I have a guy friend who's considering going, and I thought I remembered you saying you were okay with having a guy roommate at Terminus. I wouldn't want to make you uncomfortable, though. :)
