OK! +1
[ETA] See, Danielle, that's why I don't like labels, to answer your question from some time ago. Everyone has their own perception of what the labels mean and they take their perceptions as shorthand for who the people are and what they think (you know, like "copyright reformers" just want everything to be free </tui>). I'd rather people talked and listened to the arguments being made, and judged them on their merits, but every one is so suspicious of others' agenda that they spend their time deconstructing the arguer instead of the argument.

We could, of course, keep Amanda Palmer here as a hostage until Mr Gaiman agrees to move here permanently...

Up Front: Say When, in reply to sally jones,
To the person who accused me of making “deliberately provocative remarks” and then said that this was what “ideologues do a lot, rather than discussing actual ideas” – I made a note, but not of the name, was it perchance NZlemming?
It was. Sorry, I had no idea looking back through the comments to confirm that would be so difficult. We're used to it here.
whomever. To that person I say my remarks were intended to ‘provoke’ a real debate on important feminist issues rather than the feminist-bashing that I felt had been the main thrust of the ‘discussion’ (very one-sided) to that point.
Hmm. Our mileage varies. The only bashing I saw was of Emma, the Reluctant (Sex-positive) Feminist. Is your screen reflective, perchance?
Sadly the blogoshpere doesn’t tend to allow for any kind of thorough explication of actual substantive ideas but elsewhere I have published about 100,000 words in a PhD thesis that does attempt some kind of amplification of my feminist politics and ideology in the form of actual ideas.
Again with the varying mileage. Giovanni, over at BatBeanBeam, does very well at such endeavours, to name just one. Perhaps, dear Brutus, the fault lies not in your stars...
If you've devoted so many words to explain your position, but can't sum it up succinctly, perhaps you're doing something wrong.

A perennial problem in polite debating organizations. It’s like boxing with your sparring partner – neither of you will really go for a KO.
See, that's why we have Craig.

I can see it clearly now: "Well I want to sleep with my horse, but not until we're married. Got to do these things right".
Bwahaha! 10 points, that male person!
