So... I've got a rant. Topic? Feminists. And libel.
So some of you might be familiar with groups like
www.facebook.com or
www.myspace.com. If not, whatever- not a big loss. They're communities for people to post profiles and join groups. So I joined a group on facebook, which is a college-based site, so it was a college-based group. This group was about the feminists on my campus, and how they seem to have gotten out of control. I posted on the group page about how I think feminism is going too far by calling for equality for women in the military, and that this can be outright dangrous, since women are physically and biologically not as capable. Like, women are totally just a smart, but I know from experience- I run everyday for an hour, and my boyfriend just sits around and eats all day, and yet he could still out run me, NO problem, by a *significant* amount. And that was my basic point about women in the military. I said a few other jabs at feminism, tongue firmly planted in cheek, like about how "thanks to feminists, I'm now forced into the workplace!" And like, *obviously* satirical jabs like that.
But then the feminist magazine came out. With an article. That used my name. Their jabs? Not so satirical, not so funny, and *very* personal. And I quote:
"Don’t worry though, honey, because people won’t hold you to high standards. You’ll probably find some dead-end job (secretary, librarian, nurse) and stick it out there for a couple of years, never seeing a promotion or pay raise. Once you’ve wowed the boss with you spaghetti and meatballs (you’ve really perfected those), you can sleep with him and he will take care of you and you won’t have to work anymore. You’ll need him, for your pay is about 25% less than what Larry, the other library, a perv who slurps at you by the reference desk, makes."
This particular excerpt does not use my name, but much of it, believe me, does. And I find it disgusting that this could be published on SCHOOL FUNDED paper. Like, holy shit.
