Re: I'll be the irritable and long-winded one today.


  • I can't quit being female in a sexist society.

  • If I wanted to stop getting feminist questions, I'd have to not talk about being a feminist.
    This is a problem, how? You're more than "just" a woman, or a feminist, aren't you? You don't have anything else to talk about except identity politics?

  • If I wanted to stop being pissed off about sexism, I would have to never interact with another human being by any means, including any media and potentially clothing.
    Yes, or change your philosophy. The one you have doesn't seem to be helping you to find happiness.

  • To wrap this up, every day I live in a society that is sexist as hell and doesn't... particularly care for women.
    You might try examining that assessment. If it is true then what higher criteria are you using to make that evaluation? How would we know about a supposedly better mode of interaction if our entire society is sexist?

  • And I'm a woman. It sucks rancid dog droppings that people don't understand and usually don't care to.
    You seem obsessed with your group identity. If you won't or can't talk about yourself as an individual how do you expect other people to react to you?


In short, I can see why you're angry. It is impossible to escape the logical consequences of our beliefs.
