Love Post!

Why am I engaging this misogynist circle-jerk on reddit? Fun as it is to gape in awe at all the Poor Oppressed Menfolk comments (I think my favourite was along the lines of "We've been raised by a misandrist generation, what do you expect?"), I really shouldn't be trying to school these people. I am relieved that the top-level comment on the post is calling people out, but the replies are just cringe-inducing. Who knew that a website populated mainly by (and I'm generalizing a lot, here) socially awkward gamers with little to no experience around or respect for women could be so misogynistic?

(This has been another episode of "eponymous_rose Discovers Water Is Wet". Also, I just got called a "feminist harpy", which made me giggle.)

I think it's time for a love post. Anyone have any fic/vid/music/whatever recs centered on awesome ladies being awesome? I could use a chaser for this mess.

Oh! I should say that I am halfway through st_aurafina's amazing The Persistence of Memory, which is a Emma Frost/Moira McTaggert fic of amazingness. I didn't particularly like X-Men: First Class despite adoring the verse in general, but this wonderful spy AU is doing a lot to get me excited about X-Men again. Do check it out!

Ee, thanks for the rec! And commiserations on the reddit circle-jerk.
