I believe surely in equality, and I do not believe in sacrificing feminity for that, I am a humanist, but I'm not rabid, and by that i mean I'm not out burning bras and protesting every single infraction ( ... )

I was actually thinking of you yesterday, when I was out and about with Ringo, and along these lines.

Unfortunately. For me, it wasn't the first person, although that is such a 'fandom voice' now that it's hard to find a story in fandom that ISN'T written in first person, present tense, with frequent authorial interventions constantly like 'because - dude!
