the whole thing smacks of idiocy and insensitivity. i mean, c'mon! a guy died. no matter what you think of him and his actions, you should still have some respect, ya know?
I dunno if I'd agree with that completely. Racists are as fucking stupid as sexists. And Feminism has really been skirting the edge of that thin 'sexist' line for awhile.
In concept, feminism isn't really very bad. But in practice, yes, most of the time it's basically downright sexism. It's like anti-segragation extremists who exaggerate the intensity of a conflict if it's between races, and fail to realize that in doing so they are supporting the idea of racial inequality. The same way that so many feminists declare the sexes equal and proceed to implicate male intolerance and male inferiority. At least most racists aren't so hypocritical.
What does she have against free-market libertarians? I've never payed much attention to the Lord of the Ring trilogy, but uh, what exactly is going to repel free-market libertarians? Oh, that's right. Nothing, unless you want to write books about how awesome it would be to keep the economy at a fixed rate so that the scarcity of essential products will consume us and send us into another depression.
