		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m a feminist but honestly? I don&#039;t agree with anything those radical insanity spewing women say. You are gorgeous darlin, and if you decide you&#039;re a woman, that&#039;s your choice. Ignore the haters because they are just unhappy with themselves. Honestly, I&#039;m pansexual and if you weren&#039;t taken, I&#039;d probably go for you. As it is, if anyone bothers you, or you need a chat, e-mail me or add me on Facebook.

		<description><![CDATA[oh?  many cis gay men and drag queens believe they are entitled to use the word &quot;tranny&quot; in abundance.  tbh it shits me that terms like &quot;trans*&quot; even exist... they sound so clinical and dehumanising.  i vote on makin a new word for that and a new word for the described &quot;radfem&quot; - perhaps for the latter we can simply use &quot;douchecannon&quot;.

		<description><![CDATA[Horse,
I think the term &quot;cotton ceiling&quot; refers more to the experience of being a woman of transgendered experience in a mostly cissexual and cissexist community; that there is a dearth of other women (trans or cis) who would choose to partner with another woman who is transgendered or transsexual, is inherently &quot;othering&quot;, and feels like an impassable boundry.  I don&#039;t think anyone means to insinuate that policy should dictate whom one is attracted to.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m not going to defend radfem misandry, because it&#039;s ridiculous, but I really don&#039;t have a lot of sympathy for guys who are &quot;raised to be good to women&quot; and then turn antifeminist because of an encounter with a few radfems, because if a guy was truly raised in a feminist environment like that, or has been spending a lot of time in the feminist blogosphere, in women&#039;s studies classes, etc. he would know better than to think that the majority of feminists out there hate men or don&#039;t appreciate how male allies contribute to our cause. If you look at the guys on feminist blogs who use misandrist radfems to defend their dislike of feminism as a whole, most of the time they are MRAs whose idea of &quot;radical feminist&quot; is &quot;woman who doesn&#039;t put up with bullshit from sexist men&quot; or &quot;woman who gets impatient when dudes are always playing the &#039;what about the menz?&#039; game when a site is specifically discussing women&#039;s issues.&quot;]]></description>
