8:00p - Little Fandom Republican Wank
This is fandom related, but it's mostly about politics so I'm posting it here.
So, there was a slasher named Taradiane who was in Harry Potter fandom. One day she posted the stunning revelation that she was, *gasp* a Republican!!! She now wants everyone to stop posting mean assumptions about Republicans.
One person fights with her about it but everyone else is very much "Oh, you're so right, it sucks being a Republican here," or "Oh, I'm so sorry if I ever offended you." But Taradiane is still not happy because people keep asking her why she is a Republican so she rants again (providing a nice summery of the previous comments in the process) and announces that she is so offended that "[t]his is my last update in this journal. I will keep it open to read friends-locked posts and for archiving purposes only."

10:35p - A little political wankery
A community was created on LJ for discussion of Suzette Haden Elgin's invented "women's language", Laadan. The creator of said community thought that people on ![[info]](http://www.journalfen.net/img/userinfo.gif) feminist might be interested.
Oh, my oh my. It appears that the discussion of a women's language derived from a science fiction novel is in some way 'sexist'.
The creator of the Laadan community then decided to let them all know on feminist exactly what she thought of all the flamage on the comm.
More wankage ensued, culminating with the resurrection of the ever-popular question, "Is it possible to be a pro-life feminist?"
