Feminists

or sometimes, the squeakiest wheel or loudest voices. Yes, justice can be unjust but I don't hold a grudge about the two items of mine that have been hidden by juries, I learned from what I said and strive not to repeat those mistakes.

I stand by the point that even your speculating that you are the only one "brash" enough to talk about the subject is insulting. That would be like me saying, maybe I'm the only brash enough lesbian feminist to reply to your comments. That's insulting to other lesbian feminists--it's belittling and a huge assumption that is not mine to make.

Here are two examples of why I think there hasn't been more participation (but you know this already):

Have we not been having a civil discussion about this? That's the point of the article (did you read it, it doesn't seem like you did because I keep having to explain this point to you). The OP isn't about having everyone agree on everything... it's the tenor of our discourse when we disagree and there is a lot of room for improvement in that area.

As far as the discussion on TV and TV shows (and please don't leave out the discussion on The Handmaid's Tale, considered by some a must-read feminist text), it's okay to have fun, or so I've been told. I like and acknowledge the subtle put down though--that was a nice touch.
