This kind of stuff turns up on blogs all the time, and usually I don't have the energy to take them by the hand and say "water is wet, and the sky is above your head, and sexism is bad", but the fact that it was an actual MP in our actual Parliament with actual power to legislate scared the shit out of me.<br /><br />Also, thanks!allamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08866852147657326822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7025879594950410143.post-15580010706337871612011-01-26T03:05:37.878+00:002011-01-26T03:05:37.878+00:00I read Raab's piece when it came out, and deci...I read Raab's piece when it came out, and decided that I couldn't bring myself to write about something so ridiculous.

He shows a lack of ability to grasp the subject, shows no experience or personal relevance in discussing it, and barely answers the strange questions he poses. <br /><br />What's clear is that this is a vain and clumsy attempt from him to join the blogosphere: a big "come and notice me!" to Conservative Central Office.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7025879594950410143.post-29277862886486307422011-01-25T16:01:57.357+00:002011-01-25T16:01:57.357+00:00Shit.

Since we all got zapped into Bizarro-World? Hey, Dom, guess what my very first blog post was: a tirade about how ascribing discrete and opposing traits to men and women is (a) balls, and (b) never taken to its logical conclusion. This kind of thinking is described by a (feminist!) concept known as "oppositional sexism", and - I feel I'm repeating myself here, but still, it needs to be said - WE. ARE. AGAINST. IT.</i>"<br />You've misunderstood what Feminism is entirely. The term 'Feminism' does not refer to some lah-di-da nonsense about sexual equality and erasing gender essentialism. Feminism, in the original sense of the word, means "terrifying modernity where stuff about women happens and I'm confused". I'm surprised a bright girl like you didn't know that.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08288284218700038061noreply@blogger.com
