This is one of the most retarded articles I think I've ever read
 

Sluts and sweethearts | Life and style | The Guardian

Is she for real? How are any of them sexist?

Didn't know people like this existed in real life that weren't under the age of 17.

i hate her face.

Reading the comments on that was actually more interesting than the article itself.

What's sad is there are tons of people who see life through a lens like this (hers happens to be psuedo-feminism, but it's the same principle for other things too).

It's frustrating though, because I do see a point buried in the hysteria and crap like this makes it harder to discuss that point intelligently and still be taken seriously.

It does speak to the interesting nature of language, though. What she doesn't take into account is how words are abstracts, without inherent meaning. Language changes and evolves because of how words are interpreted--the power of a word is in the response it evokes, not necessarily the intended meaning.

Kind of the old "bullies on the playground" strategem--don't get upset and the power dynamic starts to change. Misuse hyperbole and you just reenforce the problem.

And this is why women shouldn't be allowed to write articles. It sends the dangerous message that they are capable of rational thought.

You've changed.

I just want to be popular. :(

But what I really would like to say is, sites like the Guardian seem to always pick total idiots as their token female contributor and when they make rants like these it's a total kick in the balls (or should I say ovaries?) to feminism.

I don't like to call myself a feminist just out of guilt by association with all the idiots who call themselves feminists. It's really sad how people can take a concept as simple as equal rights for people of both sexes and twist it around to mean all kinds of ridiculous bullsh*t.

Welcome back boo.

A very wise woman once said:

Nothing.

People need to realise it's not the words you use it's the way you use them. Generally, "sweetie" is used in an endearing way yet apparently it's a sign of depraved chauvinism. This woman should be labelled a feminazi, because she's gone overboard and nutzo and declares swathes and swathes of people misogynistic based purely upon the words they use and not the mentality or intent with which they're used.
