Anit-Anit-Feminism Wank!
There's this site, and it's called Ladies Against Feminism. They're basically, well, a bunch of ladies, um...against feminism...
This site is dedicated to the proposition that men and women are not identical creatures. Are we equal in human worth? Yes. Equal before the throne of grace? Absolutely. Equal in dignity? Indeed. But when it all boils down to it, if you insist that "equal" means exactly the same, you will have to fly in the face of biology, historical fact, biblical Truth and just plain common sense. In many ways, woman is not equal to man; and, by the same token, man is not equal to woman. They are different creatures with differing roles. Will we complement each other in our distinctive, God-given roles, or will we tear each other to shreds in a territorial dispute? L.A.F. promotes the former. We are for maidenhood, modesty, virtue, intelligence, womanly arts and femininity. Join the new revolution!
Basically, they're conservative women spouting their views verrrry politely. I'm actually all for them. They're standing up for what they believe in, they're making me giggle and they're not trying to make us all beaten housewives, damnit. But hell, why read dislaimers? Things don't get wanky enough if we read disclaimers!
There are three letter sections in LAF: Gracious Encouragement[FAPFAPFAP], Cogent Commentary[questions and such] and Scorching Notes[Flame ON!]. LAF's method of recieving flames is particularly funny to me - they precede them with a page-long note about LAF's vies and then post them with few replies or commentary. Instead, they take out all the expletives and insert [sic] where errors are, which struck me as particularly venomous in a subtle way. See here for examples:
this makes me sick, i hate this website, it is so wrong! the way women dress today is fine, u dress like you should be in a bordello or something. women are not the weaker sex, ppl that think they are the weaker sex ARE THE WEAKER SEX. u r the kind of ppl that make me want to kill someone :|

I heard about this site from a friend in a Feminist group and she told me about this place.I may be 15 years old but I think that what I have to say is importent [sic].Us [sic] women are just as independent as men if not more and your [sic] saying that us [sic] women should follow the bible and listen to everything men say.We have to be slaves to men right.We can't do anyhting [sic] on our own?Thats [sic] not right!We should have a right to speak out.All us Feminist [sic] have to say is that we have a right to vote,we have a right to have jobs just like men do instead of staying at home and cooking all day!Why do you call your selves anti-feminist when feminists speak out about their rights like your [sic] doing now.Thank you.
[sicsiciscsicsic!!!]
you bunch of tea drinking bible bashers.
[...but is it orgasmic tea?]
this website was created by a man who is sexistand ignorant and doesnt relise [sic] that women are not beautiful, are not ugly but angry and its [sic] time that all us women take a stand and put sexist pigs like you down. EQUAL RIGHTS FOR WOMEN!
[You...you...MAN!!1]
while there are women like you around, men will think they can do what they like, which is't much fun for the rest of us. that's real neighborly of you, you bible thumping fishwives

We were frankly horrified to find your site on the web. Should you not spend your time beautifying your husband's homes, thinking up delicious meals and trying out new cosmetic preparations? Surely a lady's perogative lies in being an object in society rather than wasting time ramming your opinions down others throats in a most immodest fashion.We feel that use of the Internet is neither feminine nor decorative.
Yours

[AHAHAHAHAAAAAA!]
See? It's funny, it's silly, it's...fishy? It's WANK!
