So how many folks out there are still having the “comments bug” – the comments not remembering who you are, that is? And what systems are you using? I know Bean’s on XP, how about the rest of you?
Anyhow, I’m working on it. Please be patient.
Also, I’ve changed the font sizes, so hopefully they’re no longer too small to be read, as some folks have complained..

Actually it’s not just you, it’s a problem with practically every Movable Type blog (including my own)…
If you post long enough, it remembers. I think. Has no trouble remembering me now. –I don’t know the precise mechanism, but posting from different computers can confuse it; it can’t catch up when you’re posting to different posts (at the start of your posting history to an MT blog); and even after it starts noticing you with some regularity, it’ll cough once or twice. (Also: always check “Remember info.” Every time.)
Eh. It’s an inconvenience, but a mild one.
In my experience, the problem is most likely to occur when the blog and the comments are hosted under different domains. For instance, here the blog is at amptoons.com while the comments are at jennworks.com
I had this problem myself when I first started, here’s the MT support forums thread where I found out how to fix it:
http://www.movabletype.org/support/index.php?act=ST&f=14&t=6482&s=4d97b8f4fe42e8153f4c0d30e2a3a355
Actually, the comments used to be located at jennworks. That was back when we were on Blog. Now that we’re using Movable Type, the comments are hosted on the same site as the rest of the blog.
Which is to say, now both the blog and the comments are hosted on jennworks.com. :-p

Well, it’s working now, so yay!
Nice Site!

I guess that it makes sense that comment #12 is not actually about this thread. Having gone and read Ms. (Miss ? Mrs. ?) Hale’s post in its entirety, it doesn’t sound to me like she really read in depth whatever thread which she professes to be commenting about. (As if you’d get a comprehensive overview of any sort of feminism, Radical or otherwise, by reading one thread on one blog.)
Yeah, Heart (for example) casts a big shadow and all, but I don’t think she represents every radical feminist out there. I also find it interesting that Hale claims The One Great Radical Feminist Viewpoint is “sweeping across” all of feminism today, or whatever. If she can literally stand in the street all day every day and just have the One Great Radical Feminist Viewpoint wash all over her like a fine mist (fog ? drizzle ?) I rather envy her. It took a lot of work for me personally to even begin to understand what Radical Feminism is and to find people who could explain it in a way I understand. I’m still working on it.
So feminism is meaningless because some women –who may or may not call themselves feminists;the writer doesn’t specify– are mean and nasty.
Okay, then. :/
I have run across some feminists who have been, to put it mildly, impossible to deal with. I’ve also run across a great many women in general who are also impossible to deal with. What I find most puzzling about Hale’s POV is that she claims to not be feminist because we (men and women) should all be appreciated for what makes us different from one another:
But Hale refuses to grant feminism that kind of leeway. She refuses to appreciate differences among feminists, instead conveniently picking that which (to her mind) is the absolute nadir of what a woman should be, tagging that inadvertant universal spokeswoman “feminist,” and then using personal dislike of said spokeswoman as an excuse to chuck an entire movement into history’s dumpster.
Gevalt.
So feminism is meaningless because some women ““who may or may not call themselves feminists;the writer doesn’t specify”“ are mean and nasty.
I read it as meaning that the writer feels less oppressed by men than by women and thus cannot accept the basic tenet of radical feminism.
When I’d had very little firsthand exposure to feminist thinking and only heard what anti-feminists were claiming feminists think, I had a lot of the same problems with calling myself a feminist. I had to start lurking at Alas and listening to a lot of feminist discussions before I could appreciate that feminism is a broad church and there is enough dissent in the ranks that, yes, my views could also fit.
We can hope the writer follows a similar path…
[Yawn] I have never heard any feminist say that or its equivalent, and I’ve challenged the antifems to come up with an authentic example, and they couldn’t either.. The words do appear in Marilyn French’s book, where they were the words of a fictional character. Ditto “all sex is rape”, which has only ever been uttered by critics of feminism, as far as I have been able to determine.
We need a kind of Godwin’s Law for feminism. As soon as someone attributes either of these statements to feminism, they lose whatever argument is taking place at the time.

And not even the viewpoint character, so you can’t even plead author surrogacy.
I do believe that both sub species…
Women & men are sub species? They’re not even subspecies? Not only is this person seriously deficient in basic knowledge of biology, this person is seriously deficient in the English language. Yeah, I know. I shouldn’t make fun of misspelling as I do it more and more lately. But who can resist the siren call of ignorance & misuse of pseudo-language? Somebody wake me when there is a knowledgeable critic of feminism.
