I'm Not Sorry [Feminism]

So I actually meant to post this on Sunday, because it was International Women's Day!
But perhaps it's more important in the aftermath to keep things moving and our anger fresh, since it's frosted bullshit that my first Google search hit for "feminism" is an article about Joss Whedon, the second is a link to a Women Against Feminism blog, and we're just not going to touch on what the GIS return looks like.
And as I said in the first thread--I thought about noting that we should be polite here, but fuck that. This is an angry topic, a painful and personal topic close to many of our hearts and lives, so politeness really doesn't have a place as things get heavy and difficult. But please, be respectful or I will end you.
So, who wants to be a Feminazgul? (art by @Tam because he's amazing)

This is a good thread.
From a surprisingly relevant Time article:
So the thread title is my mantra--I'm not sorry for interrupting you interrupting me, I'm not sorry for asking for something I need or deserve, I'm not sorry for being right, and most importantly: I'm not sorry that you choose to interpret my confidence and badassery as 'being a bitch' and respond by being intimidated and a petty shitwizard.

Also now I miss Tam even more.
Maaan, I'm a guy and I do this all the time.
If it's not too personal to ask, what class was it?
Fuck them for undermining the new all girl reboot
That's a toooon of media from the 80's, honestly. I know things aren't necessarily great for women still, but we've come a long way in awareness, at least, since then.
It's really opened my eyes to what a not-great person Dan Akroyd is. Like I know there's been plenty of evidence before this, but nothing I'd really paid attention to. But some of his comments about that movie... yeesh.
Whoa, really? What did he say?
It's almost all media, honestly.
Like the "Man With No Name" trilogy. The protagonist is a murderer, rapist, and drunkard, and is written to be the hero!
yeah he's
he's a goofy character and all
but he's also like balls to the wall crazy
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
There's the one with women and the real one and geez that is just

In this instance its not so much that he's said something specifically, it's that he's been pushing his personal Ghostbusters rewrite for almost fifteen years and is mooching the attention of the all-female reboot
Because you know an all-male, Aykroyd-backed, Channing Tatum-starring Brobusters is going to be a marketing juggernaut that's going to steamroll over Paul Feig's Ladybusters
In my new job I'm expected to drive a forklift and be able to lift heavy boxes. I need to figure out a good and polite comeback for the next time someone says,
Atta girl!" that does not involve impaling people with a forklift.
venkmann is a straight up predator, tho
http://www.avclub.com/article/dan-aykroyd-determined-make-conventional-all-dan-a-215487 is all I can find off-hand, but basically he's one of the underminers of the reboot. I think more out of pro-Akroyd sentiment than specifically anti-woman sentiment but it's not great either way.
You can try Keef, but he's 100% straight and comfortable with it
In the article I linked, national treasure Sean O'Neal deconstructs said mooching pretty greatly. The comments section is also a fun read of other suggestions for Akroyd revivals.
I found some stuff on Salon too where he says that while the script for the female Ghostbusters is good and needed he's going to take it and make it better.
By making it all male apparently.
What a fucker.
One of our welders called me "girlie" last week
I just stood there and stared at him until he got uncomfortable enough to apologize
try keef
for god's sake try
Try responding with some response that infantilizes them or something? "Thanks, sport" or "little buddy" maybe? Although knowing that sort of guy, they'll probably just assume it's a come-on...
aren't they always
Does backing over them count?
Few things in life are truly 100%, it's just easier to round up. You could be that 0.00...1%, Keith.
I really wish the female GB was just in the same timeline. Making it a relaunch is just dumb.
Sarcasm is always my go-to response to stupid things. It's absolutely a bad choice a lot of the time, but it sure makes me feel better.
Insist that everyone refer to you as Klaus:
