I am a bisexual femminist from a small town in California. Obviously, I'm not your typical small town girl. I guess my specialty would be advice about hating where you live, who you live around, your town/city...all that sort of thing except there isn't a category for that ;) oh and of course my "favorites" are a good choice in asking me stuff too...I'll answer questions about anything...except the stupid ones, like "He said he liked me, does he really like me?"

I'm a feminist but none of the women in my family seem to be catching on. My grandmother says I don't wear enough dresses and my mother thinks all the women's literature I read is worthless. What's wrong with these people? (link)
|
sounds like my house...grandparents telling me i should wear more make-up, mother telling me i should care about how i look and that the couple feminist books i have look, odd...though my mother is a bit more accepting, she wanted to read one of them later, for information's sake...aw but i babble, sorry
i'd say, they're just...i dont know...sort of back a few decades...i'd say there isn't much u can do, you can't change them, sure u can try but it's been my experience that u can't change ppl that drastically...i'd say you sorta have to live through it until u leave home, though then i'm sure it wont end...but at least u wont be faced with it every day...seriously, if ya need someone to complain with you can definatly email me or try me on yahoo...:)

Do you feminists hate gay men as much as you hate straight ones? (link)
|
um, i dont hate any men...okay that's a lie...i hate chauvenistic men...and i hate women that think their duty is to allow chauvenistic men to rule them. other then that, i dont hate men. and men can be feminists too...
we need a new name.

The radio station I listen to cranks out the cheesy pop tunes until I'm ready to explode some one/thing. Does this give me permission to send them hatemail until they play some REAL music? (and it is the only radio station in the area, besides classical) (link)
| |
no, dont send them hatemail...go ahead and ask them to widen their musical selection...in a nice way...but dont be mean...at first

Why do women whine about equality but still expect guys to pay for stuff and open doors and all that crap? (link)
|
lookie here, not many of us whine...i'll admit, a few do...i occasionaly sound whiney...but in general we're not sitting around going "tche, it's not faiiiiiiiiirrrrr....sttttoooooopppp ittt"...we take stands and try to promote equality. secondly, i will open the door for any guy, and do not expect someone to open a door for me...but when someone (guy or gal) opens a door for me i think it's nice and polite and so on. same goes with paying for things...sometime's i'll buy my guy friends lunch, sometimes they'll buy me lunch...sometimes we'll both get our own lunch...when i had a boyfriend it went the same way.
i think you need to realize that just because a woman might want a bit of curtacy from her boyfriend doesn't mean she's suggesting he has to get things for her.
