But I never knew Courtney Love identified as a feminist, and she's on my shit list for trying to get her audience at a concert one year to yell out nigger.
@ichigo18: I was at a show where she did that. She told the audience to scream "cunt" & "whore", which they did. Then she asked them to scream "nigger", which no one did, and then asked the audience why they were reluctant to say it. Basically, she was trying, in her own incoherent way, to say that misogyny is acceptable in a way racism is not, and did it badly.
This is really quite wonderful! I hope you frame it (+ part one) and send it to both The Guardian, and double X. And your mother! 'Cause you deserve to have this on your mother's wall.

Seriously, Tracie, I don't think people give you enough credit. I think you're amazing and this is one of the best things I've seen on the site, period. It gave me some goosebumps.
Sorry, I have nothing actually to add to this post with this comment, only to express that I have never seen a more thorough depiction of the argument about feminism, nor a more convincing argument for why multiple types of feminism is a good thing. Tracie, I pray that you get to actually meet JJ someday. I think she'd like you.

And you can be a proud feminist and have all the damn Hello Kitty products you want!

Tracie, you have outdone yourself once again. This is getting clipped to my favorites page.
