The irony is that there is little of substance that we disagree with.

3. I laid a lot of it out when I took this gig.

So if people wonder where I stand on a lot of stuff, rather than me having to repeat myself, they can go here:

I've been nothing but consistent on things like consent, adults, etc. In fact, some people apparently think I'm an asshole for being TOO consistent, or being too literal about consent being a bright line; see, I'm not willing to play along nice when someone comes in and floats a bunch of hooey about "extremely nuanced definitions of consent". I don't see what the point is, in muddying the lines around something like that, unless you've got a totally separate agenda that has more to do with making some grand statement about the horrible nature of sex "Under Teh Patriarchy*" than it actually has to do with sending out unambiguous messages like "no means no, yes means yes".

I mean, duh.

I've said I call myself a "Feminist", because to me that word means things like equal rights. Reproductive freedom. CHOICE. Some people here go absolutely bugfuck over my labeling myself that, mostly because I don't agree that any picture of a naked woman's breasts becomes an implement of TEH WORST ACT OF OPPRESSION IN THE HISTORY OF EVER, the minute a man gets aroused by it.
