The most pathetic thing I have read all day

[lizbee]

It's not about her being intelligent, beautiful and knowing it, witty, sexy and brave. it's about her being all those things... at the same time! Sometimes, it's just too much. (and the same goes for River Song)

So here is a brief and incomplete list of women who are "too much":

My mum
My sister
My sister-in-law
Great Aunty Jim
piecesofalice
surburbannoir
baggers
bnharrison
rj_anderson
dear_prudence
sajee
weaver
yiduiqie
danni
sister_ananke
violetisblue
ladyvivien
aerialgrrrl
binnessface
binkabookitty
tapedeck
icegemini
purple_smurf
YOUR FACE
AND YOUR MUM

So ... yeah. Fuck that noise. As some of the women on that list would sooner eat their own tongues than say. If misogynists hate and fear fictional characters, imagine how much more terrifying and amazing real people are. And those are only the ones I could think of before dinner.

In conclusion: PJ Harvey - Sheela Na Gig

That has got to be the stupidest thing I have ever read. It is taking a supreme effort of will not to wade in there and start commenting like mad, because I know it won't solve anything, and will just bog me down in a flame-war that I will never get out of. Because I am in just the right mood these days to say something really incendiary.

Exactly. I am sort of hoping I can find enough stuff to occupy me before I go into two hours of meetings this morning so that I don't respond to her absolutely mind-blowing stupidity.

Remember that story where Rose invites a complete stranger she thinks is drunk and who forcibly kisses her up to her flat for tea? They thought that was romantic and sweet. These are not the best judges of what is and isn't feminism.

... no points for guessing the name of the first person to leave a positive comment on that story.

That is fucking PRICELESS.
