In which we remind the Internet that woman-hating is wack.
It is not okay to disregard a girl's thoughts, opinions, or art just because...
... she slept with someone.
... she slept with a lot of someones.
... she slept with someone you want to sleep with and IT'S NOT FAIR.
... she wears "slutty" clothes (what does that word even mean)?
... she likes boys.
... she likes girls.
... she likes boys and girls.
... she looks "girlish."
... she looks "boyish."
... she doesn't look the way you want her to look.
... she doesn't say what you want her to say.
... she's cis.
... she's trans.
... she's not the same race as you.
... she has tattoos.
... she has a handbag and a tiny dog.
... she's thin.
... she's fat.
... she knows someone famous.
... she might have fucked someone famous.
... she has a blog in which she occasionally mentions someone famous.
... she has or has had an eating disorder.
... she's an immigrant.
... she works in an industry you personally consider degrading (the fashion industry, the porn industry, the sex industry, whatever).
... she's a virgin.
... she's not a virgin.
... she's religious.
... she's not religious.
... she had an abortion.
... she has kids.
... she's young.
... she's old.
... she did something at some point in her life that you wouldn't have done, or would have done differently, or would have been smarter about, et cetera ad infinitum.
Can we as a species move the fuck on from this bullshit notion that men are people and women are types? That only the "right" kind of girl (and what's "right" for a girl changes all the time anyway) deserves our time and attention and respect, and all other kinds are disposable? That a girl is only as good as her stereotype, or her reputation, or the length of her skirt, or the colour of her skin, or what her job is, or what she looks like, or how much boys like her, or how closed she keeps her mouth, or how closed she keeps her legs?
Can we fucking evolve, please?

Oh, and we need a coat of arms. Possibly one with dolphins on it because what animal is happier than a dolphin?

But for real, I just want to slap some sense into all the obnoxious fuckheads. Being a fan of, you know, women in general means dealing with this ALL THE TIME.

I think the first time I remember dealing with this was when I was into the Spice Girls (which is kind of hilarious but whatever). I remember people- my mother included- telling me I shouldn't like this one because she looks slutty, or that one because she's black, or this one because she doesn't "act like a girl," and I knew it was bogus. And I was nine. Eleven years later they STILL DON'T GET IT AND I WANT TO SMACK THEM.
