                                       Rev:  May   5, 2010               
                                                                         
In which I lodge some complaints about                                   
"geekfeminsts", though it's more than         A common dodge is          
likely I should be complaining about          to complain about an       
some sub-set of geekfeminists... but          "extremist" faction,       
what should I call the sub-set?               without working too        
                                              hard to define the         
                                              boundary of the extreme.   
In any case, here's a summary of                                         
some problems I've got with the GF.               (Maybe I should go after
                                                   the "hive vagina".)   
First of all, I take geekfeminism.wikia.com                              
as the center of the scene:                                              
                                                                         
   [link]                     
                                            It came to my attention                    
                                            because of issues like this: 
                                                                         
                                                 POLAR_TRAP
One complaint I've got is that                                           
a lot of them seem to be stuck                                           
in the feminism of the 70s:                                              
                                                                             
   CONTROLLING_THE_NARRATIVE    
                                                                             
                                                                             
Another complaint:                                                           
they seem to mistake                   The entire geekfeminism wiki has a    
classification with                    whiff of this about it (to my nose),
refutation.                            but it's really strong in this    
                                       particular bingo card:            
"We've all heard *that* before"                                          
can be an effective rhetorical         [link]
stance, but it applies as well                                           
to feminist doctrine as to                 Presenting a list of          
responses to it.                           typical arguments is not      
                                           a counter-argument.           
     It's possible that when you                                         
     hear a message from many                  (Why not provide us       
     different sources, that                   with a list of            
     means you should take it                  approved things that      
     more seriously, not less.                 we're allowed to say?)    
                                    
                                    
In general, they seem to have bought
into a very stereotypic view of the 
sexes without realizing it:

   Women are weaker then men,
   and need to be protected.

   Women are easily offended
   by sexual material and
   off-hand sexist quips.

      Oh, how can you men be
      so *insensitive*.

      If you don't show some
      *respect* we're going to
      just leave, and take our
      hive vagina with us.
