"The tail fin sex scene was weird, but by far not the worst part of the whole thing.
Xander is still her employee, still not being paid, still needing to hide from those hunters.
All of which means it is very inappropriate to be having sex with him. Maybe, if one of those things had changed a little bit, it'd be different, but..." — 3 hours, 19 min ago

"Oh, screw you, Kingfisher. It's one thing to disparage the FL's species and disrespect her at every turn. But slut-shaming?
That'sow. That's just low." — Jun 02, 2026 05:35AM

Where people went wrong was thinking that simple meant the same thing as stupid.”

“In a culture which holds the two-parent patriarchal family in higher esteem than any other arrangement, all children feel emotionally insecure when their family does not measure up to the standard. A utopian vision of the patriarchal family remains intact despite all the evidence which proves that the well-being of children is no more secure in the dysfunctional male-headed household than in the dysfunctional female-headed household. Children need to be raised in loving environments. Whenever domination is present love is lacking. Loving parents, be they single or coupled, gay or straight, headed by females or males, are more likely to raise healthy, happy children with sound self-esteem. In future feminist movement we need to work harder to show parents the ways ending sexism positively changes family life. Feminist movement is pro-family. Ending patriarchal domination of children, by men or women, is the only way to make the family a place where children can be safe, where they can be free, where they can know love”

“It is obvious that many women have appropriated feminism to serve their own ends, especially those white women who have been at the forefront of the movement; but rather than resigning myself to this appropriation I choose to re-appropriate the term “feminism,” to focus on the fact that to be “feminist” in any authentic sense of the term is to want for all people, female and male, liberation from sexist role patterns, domination, and oppression.”

“We have to constantly critique imperialist white supremacist patriarchal culture because it is normalized by mass media and rendered unproblematic.”
