Pick-up Lines for Feminists

This piece on Pick-up Lines for Feminists by Lesley Kartali was posted on one of my favourite blogs. Check out what’s offered and make up your own!

Its often difficult to navigate the dating scene while feminist. What would you like to see in a potential partner? How do you prefer to approach/be approached?

making the move
at the bar
the club
the pro-choice rally
or the conference
on women’s rights
in the 21st century
is no easy task
for feminists
young and old.

how do you
subtly ask for digits
while still making it
perfectly clear
that you are fine
being alone
and are certainly
not buying into the idea
that women are worthless
without a significant other?

just remember to smile.
or not.
(depending on if you
feel like it)
and try some
of these lines
on for size:

if i could rearrange
the alphabet
i would put u and i
together
and then we could
work on trying
to think outside
of this male dominated
language.

pinch me.
with consent of course.
you are so
third wave
i must be dreaming.

where have you been
all my life?
hopefully fighting
against oppressive
patriarchal systems.
