The Betties have been called "FemiNazi Lezbots" before. Shocking, I know. Offensive? Not really. The word "Nazi" is offensive, but by it's definition The Betties are in no way affiliated with Nazi principles, obviously, so I really wouldn't take offense to anything so blatantly untrue.
Lezbots. Well, that's a different one. Lesbian + Robot = Lezbot, is that what we're aiming at? To call someone a lesbian, or to deny that oneself is a lesbian implies that there is something wrong with being a lesbian. Therefore, I will not even justify this "insult" by refuting it. The Betties love them some gays, let me tell you.
Feminist. Now that's a word I can get into. Yes, readers. I do self-describe as a feminist; and why not? Just because I care deeply about the rights of women (and by extension, children) around the world does not mean that I fit into the stereotypical feminist role.
For instance, you will never catch me with hairy armpits or wearing a lumberjack coat. I like to use words like hooker, slut, bitch and whore and though I realise how damaging words and labels like this are, I'm not so strict as to discontinue them in my vocabulary when saying them gives me such pleasure. Bitches. See? It rolls off the tongue so nicely. (Though if you want to talk to me about your period I will cut a bitch down, okay? Just sayin'.)
Ever since I was a very young child, I have used the title "Ms." instead of "Miss". My mother was dead set against it and tried to discourage me. She always said that the title "Ms." was for divorced women. It was said mildly yet firmly, but what it really meant was, "The title 'Ms.' is for divorced women, and divorced women have loose morals so I don't want you to be associated with them." And damn, wasn't she right? When she became a divorced woman twenty years later she did become a woman with loose morals! The irony! (And it was about time, quite frankly!)
Ms. Twills if you're nasty. One of my own personal theme songs. How much better would this have been if Janet had said "Ms." instead of "Miss"? Gyrating and sexuality included. *nods*
That's all,
Twills
