O.o

I just realized that I never actually added you to the list, Renee. And Womanist Musings is one of my fav blogs! OMG! Apparently I was living on another planet.

That was a wonderful post. It did my heart good to see that finally SOMEONE GETS IT. I started a blog after lurking for sometime because I got sick and tired of the way that WOC are treated. Please consider adding my link. http://womanist-musings.blogspot.com/

I identify as a womanist because I feel that feminism does not have a place for people that do not fit within a defined racial, class and sexual category. Womanism to me speaks a truth that feminism today is just lacking.

Wow, thank you for this post. I just encountered this blog–and this whole neighborhood of the blogosphere–after reading about the original controversy on Feminocracy.

Those of us with privilege really need to get together and figure out a productive way to discuss these issues with other privileged folks. Ignorance of intersectionality is even more frustrating in seemingly radical environments where people are at least ostensibly aware of one form of oppression… it should be so natural to then realize that all forms of oppression are working together.

Anyway, thank you for your words. Keep up the struggle.

Yeah, my own moderation policy has been pretty much “no shirt, no social skills, no service, except I don’t actually care about the shirt. And barring that, at -least- be an -entertaining- troll.”

True. And if I want to see where a lack of moderation can lead, I could always hop on over to Pandagon to see how productive the discussion is.

Hey, Ico –

I just read you on belle’s blog.

1) The joke is on the P.A.W.L. prof (and I’m sure you know who I mean) because she doesn’t know — or didn’t bother to read — how you identify ethnically.

2) The second thing I popped in to tell you is not to worry about the “free speech” thing.

Know why?

From what I’ve read, it’s really only censorship when the government does it.

Thanks. No worries about the update — I’m bogged down in some stuff right now IRL so new links/posts to this page probably won’t happen ’till next week.
