Guillotein Do women (not in general, but a large handful of them) really want this fandom to turn into another feministic institution?
You say 'feministic' like it's bad.
I dunno, maybe it's just me.
But anyway, something that is femistic is something that works for equality of the sexes. Feminism =/= Feminazism.
Now, to reply to the actual topic.
I read through the journal entry, and was quite astonished by the menslash fandom. I wish the author of the entry wouldn't generalize like s/he did, though. I think the problem is that many people can't just accept that there are people who aren't female that are into menslash. They tack on a stereotype, and when that stereotype is broken, their comfy little world of Fluffy Ignorance and Judgement is shattered, and they can't do anything but assume even more about the one doing the breaking of the stereotype to make themselves feel better and more right.
At least, that's my take on it.
RegulusofSlytherin I am Pro-Choice, but I don't exactly avocate making it law. I do believe in making it more difficult, but not illegal.
Abortion's already legal in the U.S., Reg. No laws to make.
And how would you restrict it more? It's already pretty restricted, elective abortions are only allowed in the first three months of pregnancy. *debates abortion in ED*
HKBlack But yeah, I agree, Gov't should stop funding it and it really should be harder then a 16 year old walking in and begging and becoming another number that paid in cash with her parents none-the-wiser.
The gov't doesn't fund abortions. At all. You have to pay the full amount to get one, $300-700 in most states.
And the sixteen-year-old paying in cash? Pure fiction. People like that simply don't exist. They're known as the "Mythical Teenage Slut", and girls like that have never been recorded. She's a spector of the Pro-Life side's imagination and spread of misinformation.
HKBlack marriage is a religious word
No, marriage has been around long before religions starting using it. >.>
RegulusofSlytherin Okay, I am not a feminist. I disagree completly with a lot of feminist principals (such as most of them are pro choice.
You don't agree with equality of the sexes? That is what REAL feminists are for, after all. You are speaking of feminazis, and they are in no way feminists.
Okay...why do you disagree with the pro-choice viewpoint? *is curious*
I'm sorry if I'm acting like a great authority of correctness here. gonk I'm really trying not to be, I'm just a misinformation freak >.> I see something I know to be untrue, and I must must must correct it. I'm OCD like that.

Personally, I don't think total equality will ever be achieved (the sad truth is, America is a very racist, sexist society, and that isn't likely to change very much), but these women who persecute men who intrude on their territory and participate in their fandoms and communities make it that much harder for guys in general to see them as their equals.

Yah, that's what it sounded like :3
What bugs me is that these people claim to be 'feminist' when they're not.
While I haven't really done much in the femslash community as of yet, I've been wondering if there's a stereotype that all femslashers are men? It's not something one is likely to hear about; femslash isn't as popular as menslash. Or at least, it doesn't get as much attention as menslash.

It's not something one is likely to hear about; femslash isn't as popular as menslash. Or at least, it doesn't get as much attention as menslash. Well, it sort of stems from the basic fact that men are more visual than women (or something like that).. Women read erotica more than men, in general, just as men watch porn more than women do. In any case, I'm certain that men (or really anyone who is attracted exclusively to women) aren't the only ones who read femslash on a regular basis; I myself will read any story with a good plot and all that jazz, regardless of the pairing.
