I knew I should have just ignored those "feminist" blogs and gone to bed. But no, I had to go look. Anti-porn-- okay, I can sort of understand it, even if I totally and utterly disagree. Anti-prostitution-- I think they're fucking over truly great feminist movements towards de-criminalizing prostitution and making it the sort of job where women DON'T have to get raped and beaten without anywhere to turn, but... I suppose I see where they're coming from.

But god, the AGEISM. I went looking and apparently, since most feminists my age are pretty pro-porn and pro-sex work, we don't understand feminism and it's been watered down by patriarchal institutions (nevermind that I'm somewhere between bisexual and lesbian, my grandmother and great-aunt were feminists and socialists who knew Emma Goldman, and my mother was a DIE-HARD second-wave feminist-- of course my mother also married a man, so what does she know?) I just... it's not so much that that's the worst thing the group said, not with the weird race, class, sex, and gender biases, so much as it is sort of the straw that broke the camel's back. Just seeing how little respect these women have for the experiences of people who are coming from a different place... it turns my stomach.

I hope someone punches me in the face if I ever turn into that sort of activist.
