Really? Sorry, I thought everyone on my friendslist knew. It's nothing to apologize about! And I knew, or at least thought, you had been raped, but I didn't know the details, I had just run across references, like when you made that speech about it, but never heard you come out and say it, that I can remember (but I go through bouts of abandoning LJ, so you might have said, and I missed). It's just... it's not one of those things you really ask about, you know? I wouldn't even know how.
But still, it hurts to have it belittled, which is exactly what this chick is doing. God, she's just not worth getting hurt over. I mean, while she was really belittling rape victims, and black women, she's really belittling *all* women, by making us out to be weak and stupid and easily swayed by men and society. You know, all those *billions* of women, just sitting back and being raped (because she seems to consider all heterosexual sex rape). She has absolutely no concepts of what the real world is like.
Because somehow, saying that, when she had just insulted his entire gender for no apparent reason, makes him an asshole. *God* and you just know that he didn't really mean it, but had said it to be facetious. She is sooo dense.
she chooses to keep that job. She's proud of who she is and what she does. And this gal is...trying to take away Inara's choices. And that is another reason I don't consider myself a feminist. It's like, you have to be a certain *kind* of woman to count. Personally? My job of choice would be to be a stay at home mom. I would like nothing better than to get married, have a boat load of children and become Suzie Homemaker. What do you think this person would have to say to that, eh? I agree that choice should be the very foundation of feminism, you should be free to make whatever choices you want, but for some reason, it's not. I'm with you, we should just forget about feminism, and all become equalist. Then, it covers even more than just males and females, it covers ethnicity, sexuality and nationalism.
I know. It's like she doesn't believe that men are human beings capable of love. GRAH! *eyeroll* You know, I think that's really what it comes down to for her. The fact that she thought the others on Firefly should *pay* Inara to be her friend shows that she's just not willing to give an inch without something in return. I'm sure she lives a very lonely existence.
