bad_feminists

As a result of some of the comments on my last few entries, lilsonna has made a new community, bad_feminists ("Created for those of us who no longer can quite use the phrase 'oppressive dominant patriarchy' with a straight face but still consider themselves strong feminists.")

What shall we do with it, everybody?

I think the idea is that people who consider themselves "good" feminists have told the rest of us that we're not because we shave our legs / don't hate men / laugh at excessive rhetoric when we think it's funny / whatever today's sin is.

So this community says, "Fine, I'm not a *good* feminist. Now can I have real discussions about feminism and associated issues without you jumping all over me?" Seems like a worthy cause to me.

Thank you; that puts it quite well.
