My point is that post in this thread have mostly come across as misogynistic and cynical. And that's the exact opposite of what should be happening.

Expressing physical attraction towards an individual is misogynistic and cynical? Who knew?

I'm a feminist, and probably one of the most ardent and outspoken ones on here. Perhaps not the most well spoken, but certainly one of the louder voices.

Let me put the lie to your claim.

And I'm sure you have a source for saying that most feminists are viciously opposed to people expressing physical attraction?

No, what we're opposed to is people expressing only physical attraction and ignoring all of someone's ideals. What we're opposed to is objectification, what we're opposed to has nothing to do with anything in this thread, nor with your baseless and inane claims as to the edicts of "feminism", as though it is some great hivemind. Just as liberals disagree with one another constantly, so too do feminists.

It is an ideology, not a gestalt collective of no-longer individuals.

Don't worry. I'm sure the Borg will come along any day now to assimilate you into their hive mind. Maybe you can just pretend that they're feminists. At least until you lose all sense of self and no longer possess the capacity to pretend.

There are, certainly, hence the reason why I pointed her work out as 'magnificent.' It was really an off the cuff remark.

I have a very good idea what she's going through, as I've gone through a similar experience (although MUCH, MUCH less severe).
