I never claimed to be perfect.

The truth is being a feminist blogger comes with a gaggle of challenges. But I will say and I am sure the girls will back me up on this, the biggest challenge is often the hateful comments and emails we get. At this point our skin has grown thick and we realize that women speaking their minds does indeed still provoke hatred and fear. But that sounds like someone else’s problem to me and is a reminder for why we continue to do what we do. That said, this shit just cracked me up. First thing this morning in my inbox. . .

It is alright to use the word faggot. Just like it would be alright for
Isiah Washington to call me a nigger and vice-versa, done socially. That is
assuming we knew each other, which we do not. The black female producer who
ordered him into treatment is a complete jackass. Gays are a complete pain in the
ass in this society and are not fully accepted. Society says that it is
alright for women to EAT each other. They are not faggots. To call a man a faggot in the heat of an argument is not grounds for calling out the national
guard………A lot of the things that you people print in your online magazine
severely stretch the boundaries of decency and even political correctness. LOOK
IN THE MIRROR !!! This is John Theron Wellington in the beknighted southern
locality of Savannah,GA. You have not the balls to offer feedback, because you
are literally without balls.

Telling me I don’t have balls is decent? What a fool.
