I don't find the demonizing of the other side to be helpful. Why are you using the same scare tactics as pro-lifers? All I see here is back patting and more hate propaganda. When I became a feminist I decided to fight for what I believe in.

Have you ever taken the time to have conversations with pro-lifers? Obama was absolutely right when he told us not to make the opponent into a caricature.

THIS.

This is really disturbing to me. It reads like a comic satire of the worst stereotypes of feminism.

So, aside from the fact that this is alienating to Christian feminists, aside from the fact that this is a gross misrepresentation of the oppositions beliefs (akin to calling feminists man-haters), and aside from the fact that it is taking the low road when feminists--since we believe we are the good guys here--should be advancing our cause via the merits of our beliefs...

...it's wrong. It is simply wrong and anti-feminist to advocate for anything other than responsible, individualized reproductive decisions.

This is the most hateful posting I've read on this site. Lumping together Christians, people who are racist & sexist, Communists and pro-choice is immature and unfounded. Complicated issues cannot be dealt with by making sweeping generalizations about "us" and "them." It's divisive and sets up the rest of the world as "the enemy."

were you using communist in a negative sense? i am pretty much a communist, as well as a feminist (sorry for any shock-horror this might cause for american liberal feminists), although i describe myself as a socialist-feminist. so i would prefer it if you didnt lump communists with sexists and rapists.

OK, so this is a very weird post for many reasons. But specially because there is the idea that children will have the exact ideas than their parents and families.

I come from an extremely Catholic, Republican, conservative, racist, sexist, classist family. And I am the exact opposite. My family did everything in its power to rasie an extension of their ideas but it was not possible. I also realiza the day I have children, I will attempt to raise them with many of my ideologies, and I will share my life experiences with them as a feminist, both with my sons and daughters, but can we force these ideas on our children?? How many of you feminists in this website also come from families like mine, and we have found our own identity and ideology through self exploration, life experiences, activism and maybe even education, as was the case for me. So, let's not be so close minded to think that just by the fact that feminists are reproduicing, we will have a new generatioon of feminists, because just as I found my own ideas, my children can do the same. this post bothers me alot...

Dear Feministing, are you aware that only half the post got deleted? The part after the jump is still there.

[0+] Author Profile Page Gopher replied to Pantheon :

Yeah. This poster (presumably a guy) is obviously a nut job anti-choice luny.

[0+] Author Profile Page Ithika replied to Gopher :

What makes you say that?

I thought this was pretty funny. More of a Friday afternoon post but obviously meant in jest. Conspiracy theories are not meant to be taken seriously... especially ones where large segments of the population use reverser psychology on another segment. You'd have to be an idiot to actually believe it.

Dear feministing,

Just delete the whole post, please. Even the title is pretty offensive in context. And none of us will be sad to see our comments disappear. Plus, I have a sneaking suspicion the point of this post was to make us look bad, considering seckscow made a tongue-in-cheek anti-abortion comment in another thread...
