Up Front: Say When, in reply to James Butler,
Yes, the sole reason I've been reluctant to use the label 'feminist' to describe myself is that I really, really don't want to have arguments about whether or not I have the right to use it. And I'm not even a guy, just an unsuitable woman.

Okay, having read back, I'll assume that comment I linked to is the one you found condescending. It wasn't meant that way. That actually is my position - the theory is easy, the practise is difficult - and I'm not sure how else I could have put it.
And before we get into any further difficulties over semantics, I'm going to ask some more questions, not as snark, but for clarification. Your comment seems to suggest that "educated useful" feminism is exclusive of "lifestyle feminism" and that "lifestyle feminism" is, you feel, an adequate label for my beliefs. Is this the case?
And yes, we've had long discussions here over whether men can be feminists or not, and not reached a consensus.
ETA: Sally, I pulled that first quote in the main for what it said about women, not men:
Of course women (feminists) are going to be more 'pernicious' in their so called "slut-shaming" than men.
Which suggests that slut-shaming is something feminists should do.

I've been out, so I need a moment to catch up. Before that, however, I'd like to say what I didn't get time to say before I left.
Sally, way back here, I asked you a direct question. Could you answer it?

Up Front: Say When, in reply to sally jones,
Sally, where have you been called anything close to stupid? or anyone saying what you believe has? Or perhaps, someone has styled their particular feminism as "educated and useful", as opposed to yours? Because I've found your comment enormously condescending and passive-aggressive, and if I've made any that warranted that, I want to know what they are so I can apologise.

Muse: Reel Life: Pliéing Turkey, in reply to philipmatthews,
Philip, Craig didn't say the reviews were uniformly dire. He said " even if they were", aftter saying "And while I'm being honest (with the usual caveats), review aggregators strongly suggest you're not the only one."

Also, the Family First survey is back up. That means we're dealing with a daily bandwidth cap. So, those of you who missed out yesterday...

I have to admit, I was going to get all "Aw, I didn't get to play with the fluffy-wuffy trolly-wolly", because "Scalia" as a user name? Please.
However. He's really real, and he really does want you to vote for the hottest Kiwi Female blogger of 2011. What a guy.
Who has, nonetheless, come here and vehemently demonstrated that there is no argument against same-sex marriage. Well done.

Can I just say how freaking happy what's happened to this thread makes me?
Say what you like about George, he belts it out like a good 'un.
One of the few times he really lets go, about 3:25 in this:

Semi-relatedly, if people would like a fun couple of minutes today, try filling out Family First's Family Issues survey. Yes, I know, some of the questions don't make a lot of sense.
