"Why shouldn't I have to take some shit once in awhile?"

I have totally had this conversation. Like, nine hundred times.

When some feminist comments thread around here devolves into a flame war about how something has been said, as opposed to the actual content of what has been said, I try to be the kind of patient person who will have this conversation for, like, the nine hundred and first time. Mostly I succeed. But some days all I can muster is, "Oh fuck off. Honestly." And the reason is because I've already had this conversation, like, nine hundred times.

And it always makes me really tired, each and every time.

That's not even a complaint. It's just a fact.
