It finally happened, kids. Kaci gave in and not only made her first vid since January, but she actually made one for BASEketball. I'm so driving the bus to hell. *groan*

So I finally finished my The Office canon couples mix! It only took...what, months? I got stuck on Roy/Pam, Darryl/Kelly, and Andy/Angela for awhile, but...I think I'm proud of the way it turned out. I want to give mega props to 823freckles for all the help she offered during the making of this, too. <3

P.S. 823freckles made a mix that goes along with this for all the non-canon couples, so check that out. :)

I haven't posted in a few days, but it wasn't because I was striking (I'm still not even sure what that whole thing is about). I just didn't have much to say. But I do now.

This post was brought to my attention recently, and I'm really having a hard time keeping my mouth shut. For those of you who can't be arsed into reading it, basically this woman, a radical feminist, claims that Firefly is anti-feminist and that Joss Whedon is a rapist.

I'm sure you're expecting me to be up in arms over her insulting Joss or something, but honestly, I couldn't care less about that aspect of it. What I take issue with is her definition of rape:

I believe in the radical feminist definition of rape. That is that men who pressure women into sex are rapists. That women who are pressured are not freely consenting and are therefore being raped. [...] I would argue that most 'sex' between men and women, in the contemporary 'sex-positive', pornographic, male-supremacist culture, is rape.

As someone who was violently raped when she was eight years old, I am offended at her definition of rape. If "Oh, honey, not tonight...well, okay," is considered rape, then we're going to have to invent a whole new word for what happened to me and what happens to millions of other women around the world.

I posted a response to her post, but she has her journal set to screen comments until she chooses to unscreen them, so I am posting my reply here on this journal as well because I am so...unbelievably offended and angry right now that I feel like I have to do something.

( My response. )

I'm not trying to start drama or whatever, but as someone who was a victim of sexual assault, I feel like...like I have to say something to this girl, or no one else will.

And what's more, she's saying that any male/female sex is rape, just by definition. And that it is impossible for a woman to love a man without it being degradation.

Sorry, but that's bullshit.

And don't even get me started on how she claims that no white man can be in a relationship with a black woman without abusing her. Racist, much?

The real gem is when she insists that Joss's wife must only be staying around for the money or "patriarchal concepts of love," but money isn't as important as, "self-integrity, self-esteem, love (sister/lesbian/gynaffectionate love), etc." She's basically saying that the only valid love is between two women, and that male/female love doesn't exist.

It's women like her that give actual feminism--which is about equality, not man-hating--a bad name.

I'm sorry, I realize this post is long and preachy, but as someone who is a victim of rape, I am offended and enraged by her comments, and I couldn't not say something about it.

P.S. I'm making this post public, because I'm not going to be accused of hiding behind a friendslock. If someone wants to argue with me, then bring it.

Edit: Hahaha! Looks like someone isn't above lolcating this cunt.

Edit #2: dancinbutterfly's post about this chick can be found here. She addresses a lot of the things I didn't, and I highly recommend you check it out.

As far as I know, I'm caught up with my flist, so I'm going on my hiatus now! I will continue to update my LJ (mainly because I want a record of how I was feeling just before omgthelasthpbookever and also I've got a post half-done about all my theories and what I hope will happen and the questions I want answered), but I won't be checking my flist or going to any other website or listening to any podcasts or doing anything at all that could lead to me being spoiled. I absolutely refuse to let it happen this time, so I'm going underground and not emerging until after I've read the book. If it's an absolute emergency, you can e-mail me, but I'm only going to read e-mails from people who I know won't be spoiling me. (I also won't be responding to comments, either...or reading them, for that matter.)

So...there we go! I'll see you guys after Deathly Hallows!
