The words people cling to

The words people cling to

By tigtog on April 11, 2013

The important point here is that we shouldn’t accept superficially casual dismissals of ‘vocabulary wars,’ ‘fetishization,’ or ‘language policing.’ We should look closely at the words people cling to with the most tenacity, even as they try to sound blas? about it..

My feminism will be intersectional or it will be bullshit.
~ Flavia Dzodan, on Tiger Beatdown 2011/10/10

Are you noting a distinct lack of attribution there from Vagenda, for an ‘oft-quoted phrase’ which is easily googled as to its source?

As if that wasn’t bad enough, here’s what happened next:

The thing about intimidatory silencing tactics?

The thing about intimidatory silencing tactics?

By tigtog on September 5, 2012

Sometimes they work out exactly as the malicious arseholes want them to, grinding people down until they feel the need to stop speaking out. But the technology that gives the bullies a megaphone to amplify their intimidation is a two-edged sword.

Terminology 101: ‘females’ vs ‘women’

By tigtog on August 6, 2012

It Gets Better: a message from Australian comedians

By tigtog on April 14, 2012

I’ve long made pained expressions whenever I hear that “high school is the best years of your life” pablum expressed, and I was one of those people who did actually have a pretty good time at high school…I know now how lucky I was. After high school, LIFE GETS BETTER.

Systemic Imbalance and Marginalised Voices: Feminism FOR REAL

Systemic Imbalance and Marginalised Voices: Feminism FOR REAL

By tigtog on May 4, 2011

This anthology was launched in March, but in a fine example of its major theme regarding whose voices get sidelined in the feminism movement, most of the femosphere appears to not have heard of it until it was centred in a blogstorm this week.

Don't mistake expressing contempt for taking offense

Don’t mistake expressing contempt for taking offense

By tigtog on April 3, 2011

I’m not offended by those words. I’m contemptuous of those words, and I’m letting you know that using them just made me think less of you – less admiration, less trust, less enjoyment in your company.
