Okay, I give. Am I, like, bad at being a woman because I didn't give a damn about the Open Source Boobs and I give even less of a damn about the fact that Dean Winchester and Supernatural apparently hate my mom? Because I just - I don't understand. At all. I'm not being facetious, or snarky, or anything like that. I am just completely unmoved and I can't seem to, uh, move myself. I just don't GET it. And I'm afraid to ask, because then ~~people might answer~~ I feel silly. I must be missing some kind of vital social cue here, which I am more less used to, but it never gets less awkward.

(I don't count not being offended by the rampant misogyny in Ghost, because if I started being offended by Ghost I would never stop. Right now I'm more concerned with whether the second part - it's split into three parts - is ever going to develop a plot, or if the inexplicable jumpcuts between fishing and bondage porn is pretty much it. I don't have very high hopes.)

(Edited five minutes and three pages later because WE HAVE ACHIEVED PLOT. Thank fuck. It promises to be stupid plot, but that's not a change. I miss the madcap wackiness of part one and its bin Laden-beheading ways.)

Well, see, the whole point of the project was that if a girl/woman wasn't wearing a button saying "Yes, you may ask," nobody would even ask her. And even if she was wearing a button that said you could ask, she still had the right to say no. Where things got confused was when they offered buttons that said "No, you may not ask" and people somehow assumed that meant anyone not wearing a button was fair game. At least, that's my understanding of it. Most of the reactions I read were along the lines of, "A WOMAN SHOULDN'T HAVE TO WEAR A BUTTON TO PROTECT HER RIGHT TO SAY NO/NOT TO HAVE CREEPS MOLESTING HER," to which I was like, "...she doesn't. Did you fail reading comprehension?"
