Thank you. I love the whole concept of feminism, but some feminist perspectives absolutely befuddle and enrage me. I'll always think of _allecto_'s now-famous critique of Firefly, where -- in addition to dismissing various characters for a variety of flawed reasons -- she called Joss Whedon a rapist, his wife a gold-digger (because why else would she marry him?), and said that any woman in a heterosexual relationship was obviously only there because of society's pressure, because the only truly fulfilling relationship a woman can have is with another woman. That's an extreme example of the harm of this kind of breed of radical feminism, and I won't rant about it anymore (this was months ago and I already posted a huge, possibly slightly ranty reply in my journal), but I guess what I'm trying to say is that I totally get where you're coming from finding this so ridiculous and offensive.

Feminism is good. Analyzing stereotypes in media and real-life institutions is good. Questioning things is good. But skewing things so far in one direction without bothering to take into account the complexity of people, the different desires they may have and lives they may want to live, is wrong and makes me really wonder how anyone can possibly think that way.
