This is what a feminist sounds like.

I'm waking up to the issues behind feminism, and (more importantly) how those issues affect me directly. Like "every day, in physical ways" directly. I'm finding it's an important discussion to have, and that it can be had without either party getting dismissive, hostile, or shrill. Snarky, angry, or exasperated, perhaps, but we're talking about power imbalances; you'd be annoyed if I stole your cookie, wouldn't you? This is one *big* cookie.

This post was prompted by, and contains parts of, one of dicedork's threads on Facebook. If it sounds like only part of a conversation, that's because it is.
