I think you must not have read my comment very thoroughly.

Clearly it is possible for someone self-identifying as a feminist to say things that other feminists do not agree with you or feel is damaging, but sometimes these conflicts are nuanced in the sense that they display differences of opinion that need not end in the rejection of either perspective. In this case, it is the opinion that it is undesirable to "divert" one's attention to the rights of other groups.

Do I even need to tell you that feminism and the struggle for LGBT rights are intrinsically linked by the idea of gendered roles? Or that poverty disproportionately affects women? Or that there are race- and region-specific issues for women?

I don't see that there's anything wrong in the tack that Femisex takes, that some of these issues are peripheral to feminism and do not need to be treated here, but I felt that the criticism of Feministing had become vitriolic and unintellectual. The answer that I was given in response to my criticism, though, was intelligent and reasonable. If I thought Femisex was a write-off in terms of accountability and dialogue, I wouldn't have bothered; on the contrary, I find the writing here very sharp.

Congratulations on making that call to MSNBC, though, since clearly that qualifies you to call out Faux Feminists wherever you see them.

Hi -- look... I like the site; i link to it! But feminist writers did a lot! of damage to women this election year. It was odd and bizzare and hearbreaking. FemiSex has gone after Salon's "feminist" writers when they do my bad, and Slate's XX women are a particular focus as well. e.g, Hillary Harridan's was a nice example of anti-feminist work on Slate.

re the above item...When Feministing says that something is not feminist if it does not deal with race and poverty well...well then Houston we have a problem!! This is a HUGE disservice to women!

There has been a massive Failure of Feminism to rid this country of misogyny. It is TIME for a critical look as why this is so. If an employee fails to stem the red ink on his project, it IS fair to look at him critically!

The end result hope of this site is not to make nice and hold hands but to end misogyny as an acceptable form of life in the county. This site stands by the fact that women are 51% of the population and we don't need to take every special interest group under our wing. As a matter of fact, doing so has HURT women's rights in this country. Feminist work needs to see how far women have fallen behind--way behind. (e.g., see our story: violence agaisnt women soars in U.S.) We NEED to focus soley on women until substantial gains are achieved. Perhaps when i don't see women referred to as Bitch in the New York Times, then we will re-visist. In the meantime our ball is bouncing to the 51% beat--and we put all women under that collective, red, blue, white, black, poor, rich, foreign born. Women need not divide themselves by race or richers--we are all screwed these days!
