I don't normally do this, but I was so offended by your post in feminist_rage that I felt I add to say something.

CLASSISM: Look into it, you suffer from it.

Your latest post -- especially the entirely unnessecary rape fear-mongering -- was one of the most disgusting displays of Poor Widdle Middle Class White Girl syndrome I've seen in awhile.

As someone who has a lot of male fmily members working in construction and as contractors, you're entire post read like the ignornat ranting of someone whohas no conception at all of what it's like to be a working person.

If you seriosuly think you are in danger from assualt or theft by working men on their jobsite, then you're are both ignorant and disigustingly classist.

I'm just infuriated to know that people like you exist.

I don't care what their job is, I care that there are strangers in my house without my consent. I actually did have something stolen (and subsequently returned) by one of these men, so I know that they have the ability to walk into my room at any time. I don't care if the guy is fucking Donald Trump, I don't want to find him in my home where I'm supposed to be safe and perfectly free to walk around in my skivvies.

If it makes you feel any better (and it probably won't) I'm infuriated to know that you would bother to come onto my own journal to label me when you don't know who I am, where I come from, what class I could be or what I could possibly have a conception of.

Its not your house, its the landlords house, and if you weren;t such an obviously sheltered little brat you'd have some fucking understanding of the real world, and not be patting yourself on the back for falling into this clasist bullshit about fearing working class men doing their goddamn jobs.

[ex_lovecraf]

You're the only fucking brat here. Shut your mouth.

Also: You're not a particularly good feminist. As many have pointed out (we're discussing your idiocy on anti_feminism, that you think you need extra protection because yo're so damn attractrive is extremely offensive to women who have been raped. Women do not get raped because they're prettier than average. Where the fuck did you get a nonsense idea like that?

[batgirl20]

I don't actually think I'm "so damn attractive" and I'm incredibly offended at the assumption. I'm sure you think you have proof, but it doesn't really mean anything. I posted this because it did make me feel better about myself that a friend I haven't seen in a while believes I am a beautiful person. Yes, I do appreciate people saying things like that because I am very insecure.

As far as your ideas that my comments were offensive to women who have been raped - maybe I should have been more sensitive about saying ANYTHING tongue-in-cheek within my rant? If you really need to know, I AM a woman who has been raped (and no I don't consider looks to be any part of that) so am I justified in your eyes now?

I don't need "extra protection" I just need the house that I'm living in to be safe - safe for me, safe for my friends, safe for the girls who live there and for fucks sake it should be safe for the guys too. The thing that upsets me in the situation is my landlord's complete ignorance of the situations he is putting myself and my

Someone who thinks you're a classist twit.

I'm here to personally apologize, on behalf of anti_fem, for lovecrafty's behavior. This was totally not cool, and I'm sorry he was such an asshole to you, and I'm really sorry he tried to play the "OMG WE'RE TALKING BOUT U!!!1!" game here. That's also really not cool.

So I'm sorry, and I'm sorry I didn't apologize earlier; I've been away for some time and hadn't seen the post.

[batgirl20]

I appreciate that. I worried at first that he may have been right, but I realize now I shouldn't have even responded because from the stuff he posts in your comm it seems he's just desperately looking for problems in our community. ugh.

I'm glad to know you're not all like that.

[dysgr8mystake]

I'm not going to defend the community as a whole-it can be pretty disgusting (last week through about Wednesday can attest to that), but we do not condone trolling other peoples' journals.

Another total stranger just wand'ring by...

[lordlucan]

While I normally find our auld mate lovecrafty's points and ramblings and stuffs rather interesting, on this particular count he's more full of shit than the Sao Paulo sewer system. Your landlord is totally out of line. He can't enter your flat unannounced, and nor can anybody else. It's dodgy as fuck, and I think you should take him to task over it.

All the best to you. :)
