Olivia will smash your f'ing face in! A long time ago, my wife says to me: "you're a feminist." That through me for a loop, I wasn't sure how to handle the label. "I'm plenty of things," I said, "perhaps an ally," I reasoned.
Watching the TV last night got me to thinking, maybe my attitude and upbringing have made me a feminist. Perhaps I am not limited to 1 label; instead I can choose many. As I watched Mariska smash the jerks face, I clinched my fist in solidarity.
On the interwebs you can tell that they "just don't get it!" 16 seasons of SVU is proof that there is still plenty to worry about in regards 2 violence against women. If you can understand the concept that the oppressed have joined forces out of necessity & in the process carved out a space and/or name (i.e - feminist) for themselves, then you have no problems w/ me. If you're caught up w/ the label & how it might inhibit your masculinity, you're doing it (life) wrong, perhaps you should start over and try again
