Clearing up some stereotypes
Moderators: SMU Staff, SMU Chibi-Mods
Feminists:
Are not necessarily man-haters (there's a difference between hating oppressive patriarchal societies and hating men).
Are not necessarily ugly.
Are not necessarily lesbians.
Are not angry.
Are not irrational or PMSing.
Don't just need a good man.
Aren't humorless.
Are not all women's studies majors.
Are not frigid bitches.
Don't believe that women should have more rights than men.
Do not think that all men are rapists.
Aren't bra-burners.
Aren't all WOMEN.
I think it's these stereotypes that lead people to deny that they're feminists, while holding completely feminist opinions ("I'm not a feminist, but...") Of course there are feminists who fit into these stereotypes, but I really think they're in the minority.
Bisexuals:
Aren't necessarily sluts.
Don't just make out with other girls at parties when they're drunk.
Do not exist simply to have male-fantasy mff threesomes.
Atheists:
Don't necessarily hate all Christians.
Are, actually, trying to eliminate God and Jesus from society. :P (Kidding.)

Also, feminists do NOT consider abortion a sacrement.
As for being atheistic, I reserve the right to keep god out of my life, and to try to sheild my children from it.

Things I think Are Funny Early in the Morning: If Batman were a Smurf: "Quick, Robin! We must smurf down to the Batcave and smurf the Batplane! Then we must smurf the batsmurf so we can smurf where the Joker is smurfing!"
The Croonerism Spate (explanations upon request)
Be careful with this one, there is a bit of a pun involved. Dr. Spooner described his visit to a castle: "In the center of the fortress was the Palace Court. The gated entrance to this area was the court palace."

I don't know what you're talking about, fella, but my femmy dyke friends and I get together every Christmas and roast up a fetus we scrounged out of Planned Parenthood's dumpster and eat it. Just out of thanks to Roe.Sailorasteroid wrote:Also, feminists do NOT consider abortion a sacrement.
Seriously, though. There is a sect of feminism that is anti-abortion.
Another stereotype that needs to be debunked:
There is no "ONE FEMINIST DOCTRINE"--The only, ONLY, ONLY thing uniting feminists is that the idea that the genders should be equal. They disagree on damned near everything else.

in school, everyone calls me gothic and its SO annoying! i love black, so i wear it, is that such a crime??

Need to add something that happened just a few days ago...
Just because I'm holding a baby in a public place, doesn't mean I'm a slut, irresponsible, loose, or a bad parent.
Um, in fact, I might not even be a parent at all.
OK, my family and I went to the fair, and my cousin's little 3-month-old baby was with us. I love that baby, so I offered to carry the little darling around the place. And more than a few times people were throwing me dirty looks, and two ladies were obviously whispering and pointing at me. One old woman actually looked like she was smelling her upper lip.
Didn't really bother me because I know the truth. But, I did think the following...
1. Funny, this baby doesn't look a thing like me. I suppose she takes after her father Jessica.
2. Damn, I look good for having a baby just a few months ago

I know what you mean. I had a friend in High School who came from a huge family with lots of siblings, and she was saying how she'd be out walking one of her newest siblings in their stroller and people would be giving her looks.

Yeah, that is bullshit...
About 2 years ago when my cousin was born and (I would have been, like, 12
) I was holding her while my aunt when on a roller coaster. I swear so many people looked at me. One lady even asked me when she was born and where her father was....
If only I could show you what I looked like when I was 12... I mean, it was just awkward...
(I did pretend she was my baby though. I couldn't resest doing it... XD)

- Location: Washington (the state, mind)
More Washington stereotypes. (First off, sorry if this is seen as dredging up an old topic. @[email protected];) Specifically, Eastern Washington.
-Not all of Washington is peppered with evergreens. Ever try looking east of the Cascades?
-Yes, people actually live east of the Cascades.
-Contrary to popular belief, people who live in or near the Tri-Cities (read: Hanford Site) do not glow in the dark. (I'm tired of hearing these jokes whenever I go to West Side and tell people I'm from Kennewick.)
-Also contrary to popular belief, east side actually does get rain, and even *gasp* snow!
-And yet again, contrary to popular belief, Eastern Washington exists.
-Spokane is just as large and important of a city as Seattle.
-Easterners are not hicks, even if we may have more "rural" areas than West Side.
-Not everyone in the Tri-Cities will be able to tell you about the Hanford Site. (Even, I'm not sure everyone cares very much, either.)
And some more Asian stereotypes.
-Not all of us are geniuses. (Hell, I'm in Running Start, and I still don't have a lick of common sense.)
-Not all of us obsess over studying. (Heck, I don't usually study unless I'm actually concerned about a test.)
-Similarly, not all of us are big on anime. (Even though I am XD)
-Not all of us have...ah...the short end of the stick.
And some band geek ones, too.
-Never, never, NEVER reference American Pie (unless you also happen to be a band geek). Specifically, do not say anything that Alyson Hannigan's character said.
-We are not horny sluts who go around screwing anyone in sight. (Many of us are, in fact, virgins.)
-The idea of using a flute...inappropriately...is utterly disgusting and horrifying to any band geek, ESPECIALLY flautists.
-We don't go to the football/basketball game because we actually want to. (I remember one game in particular where we were the ONLY people there besides concessions, etc., and we could all think of better things to do.)
-Being a wind player/drummer=/=being in marching band or pep band.
-Band camp is for learning marching basics, music, and the drill, not for orgies.
-Not every band geek is super-intelligent. (Heck, not every band geekis intelligent at all, XD)

A choir-mate once played the trumpet. She was disgusted too. As for me, I cringed at the bit with the trombone.MageNehelenia wrote: -The idea of using a flute...inappropriately...is utterly disgusting and horrifying to any band geek, ESPECIALLY flautists.
I also once had a weekend away with five nutty choristers (two sopranos, two altos, and a tenor. I'm a bass, BTW). The weekend was nicknamed the "Weekend of Passion" (referring to Bach's St. Matthew's Passion, the big piece we were rehearsing at the time) and we decided that was bad enough.

I have another to add....
I'm 5"2 and 110 pounds and a size 5. Don't I ever eat anything, you ask? Why, yes I do, I respond. I love food. And I'm a big fan of chocolate. No, I told you, I do NOT starve myself, and I do not eat and throw it all up. I eat and digest it. I was born this way and I keep it by exercising. Don't freakin tell me I "need" to gain weight, because that will only happen if I stop exercising, and I'm more worried about my health than my image, OK? Looking at Paris Hilton has no effect on me.
By the way, I'm not a "skinny little bitch" who "hates on fat people". I have quite a few overweight friends who I care about, AND I have a boyfriend who's on the large side, and I love him very much. So nyah!
That's basically the conversation I usually have with someone who brings this up. Oy. >.<

I dont know if this is a widespread stereotype but its one I always heard.
"Country people are a lot nicer then City people"
Having lived in the country for a year now Ive learned that they are as maniuplative, rude, and downright jerks as city people are, they just go about it in a different way.

And you remind me again of the "Weekend of Passion". There was a girl there who was overweight. Actually, she was one of the altos I bunked with. She actually had polycystic ovarian disorder--she can't lose weight. I haven't seen much of her since the camp, though.SeiUsa wrote:>XP I hate that movie anyway.
