I have a question:
Why should anyone have to prove that they’re *not* anti-man in the act of being pro-woman. *That* is what bothers me–that in my feminist actions, I am expected to be the one to challenge ignorant assumptions of feminism. That’s not my job. My job is to create sisterhood and embrace that rather than spend my time (that I could be working towards woman’s lib and challenging different oppressions) on convincing men what I’m doing won’t hurt them.

Feministing is a labor of love and all our staff has other full-time jobs to support their work on the site. Your contribution is not only much appreciated, it's much needed.
