14. Divine right

Was just a way to say I'm a feminist because I say I am. It's okay to challenge my perception of myself. I'm just not very aggressive. I've seen some conversations miss the whole point because an author referenced teabaggers as the p-word, meaning cowards, not female genitalia.
Life's a bitch, or bitching about something does not, have to be a gender-specific slur, if it means difficult or to complain. I'm speaking about context as well as semantics. I think we look foolish rushing up out of the basement to pile on someone for saying douchebag in GD.
