"Coolest 'F' Word Ever Deserves a Fuckin' Shout"

[bcholmes]

I like this post about defining feminism. Even though I disagree strongly with important parts of it. I like the idea that feminism asks something us. That it demands integrity and work.

I like the post even though the author has (in my opinion) written stuff that banally denies the reality of trans experience -- writing it off, as so many have done before, as a function of the patriarchy.

And I like the fact that I like the post, because it makes me keenly aware of something I hold to be true: that while I agree that feminism doesn't just mean whatever you want it to mean, I nonetheless think that feminism is plural and that that's okay.
