feminist mullet wank!
This entire thing amuses me so greatly I had to post it.

So someone posts to feminist, saying that her bisexual friend says mean things about "butch" lesbians. The poster is appalled and wants an explanation for her friend's behavior.

Things are civil until waneeshee posts the Stupidest Reply Ever™:

its not the "masculine presentation" of butch lesbians that makes me annoyed, its their tendancy to dress like they don't care what they look like. having short hair is fine. having a mullet and a wardrobe straight out of the 80s is not. straight people look terrible and disheveled all time. but they are not placed under the same scrutiny that gays are. its harder for us because we do have to be more self-conscious. when someone doesnt put any effort into their appearance, it gives people the impression that they don't care about themselves, and that they dont have 'pride'--which gays are so fond of trumpeting about. people--male or female-- just look STUPID wearing certain hairstyles and certain fashions. looking stupid and looking masculine are two different things entirely.

All-out wank ensues.

"since when was it in line with feminist principles to demand that women enslave themselves to fashion if they want to be taken seriously?"

Nobody had opinions before TV was invented!

"strangely, my straight friends don't feel that the hick down the street with the mullet is giving them a bad name."

"Nobody hates gay people; they're just anti-mullet!" (This thread in particular is a true font of hilarity spooge.)

Damn those 'camp' straight men!

We are all united in that mullets look ridiculous on everyone! Nobody really cares about any of this "homosexual rights" stuff anyway, because people aren't that deep. It's all about the hair!

Fat good! Mullet bad!

There's even more wank here - something about monkeys and toasters and "people shouldn't be defined by their sexuality, although straights suck", but this is about the time that my brain exploded.

Enjoy!
