Or how she had been writing about Radical Love forever, and then Jessica Valenti co-opted the exact same concept for an article to talk about her wedding?<br /><br />And some of those commenters brought up a good point...how long has the boycott been going on over trans* issues? Why do we get the attention? Is it because they thought we would be easy to deal with b/c we are weak and easy to dismiss and steal from?<br /><br />I give up. This is a fucking pattern w/ Courtney, and I am fucking sick of it. We don't have the time or resources to keep doing this shit for free (if we were Feministing, we would be getting paid for all of this fancy advice we are giving out, huh? Like a college tour, ya know!). You, and Amandaw and Abby and Anna gave actual time, too, on top of all the other work.<br /><br />They are not worth it any more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15844414.post-78603577018127755632009-10-29T12:33:49.184-07:002009-10-29T12:33:49.184-07:00When I first read the transcript, I nearly cried w...When I first read the transcript, I nearly cried when I got to the tone comment because it was just so blatantly hurtful and silencing (especially since I'd been reading a post lambasting Amandaw for her use of personal narrative recently (in particular, lambasting the incredibly powerful post from Feministe this summer)). I barely finished reading the conversation, because everything else the Feministing crew said lost all my respect and trust (what little of that there was) after that.<br /><br />And then Courtney publishes something about emotion being discounted, and how that's a bad thing which is used to silence women? I didn't realize that much cognitive dissonance was possible - not from a group I associate with critical thinking (which, probably faultily, I do associate feminists with).<br /><br />On top of that, breaking the generally accepted rules of polite internet communications by citing your damn sources? Which, even if they weren't one of the larger feminist blogs they should know about, considering how many of their bloggers are college-educated (and therefore have almost definitely been taught a thing or two about plagiarism)? *fumes*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
