Oh, the stupid. It burns.

I found an article (once again, through [insanejournal.com profile] feminist) from a Penn State campus paper entitled "Feminist society would dissatisfy many women." Yeah, I know, I should have stopped right there. But the one useful thing I might glean from this is that it encompasses many of the standard person-on-the-street arguments against feminism, which focus on the "benefits" that women enjoy in the current society.

Among other things, these arguments display a basic misunderstanding of what feminism actually is, and what feminists want to do.

I do not think that word means what you think it means )

In other news, it has been remarkably sunny today. I certainly hope that we get some more of this respite before being sucked into the soggy grayness of winter, because I really enjoyed the bit of sunshine. It put me in a good mood despite the asshattery. :P
