Lady Feminists we all owe Charles Clymer of Equality for Women a big “Thank You”!
I especially like his telling women what words they can reclaim or not reclaim, almost as much as I like straight people telling me not to use the word queer.
Also he’s right, I should be exceedingly thankful for my period. After all it’s only 5 days a month (~900 days so far) of sometimes crippling pain and the hundreds of dollars of added expense for pads, tampons, pain medication, and stained underwear.
And it’s true, reminding male feminists/allies that they have male privilege is totes disrespectful.
And promoting classism and dismissiveness to women are surely the ways to do feminism right.
And If I was being sarcastic in this and actually have nothing but contempt for men like Charles Clymer, well I’m just one of those 1% feminists who has nothing better to do then foam at the mouth.

Plus I’m totally a misandrist.
:( Woe is me! I am banned from commenting on his page, because I suggested he should be more respectful of someone who objected to swearing. I think he said I was being negative. I didn't know what he said about periods and am off to wiki-google.
