i just want to get a point across, though.

are my arguments "anti-feminist"? i would reject that on it's face. rather, i'd argue it's sexist to tell women they're emotional, rather than logical, and that it's patronizing to uphold the perceptions of women as inherent over the proposed intellectual deductions of men.

framing the issue in those terms in the first place is a whole lot of nonsense, and my concept of feminism means abolishing that debate altogether, not opening up some kind of chivalrous space for the weaker sex.

but, my feminism is very old school. i'm not even second wave. i'm fucking first wave. i'm wollstonecroft, i'm marie curie - i'm of the opinion that women really are, actually, equal, they've just been held uneducated, and kept ignorant. 

so, i actually tend to get sort of angry when i hear these inverted faux-feminist arguments about how women can't figure out complicated logic, or can't handle themselves in the court room. that's a lot of fucking bullshit. 

but, regardless, let's take a step back and look at the situation, here.

is my case evidence for the validity of these inverted faux-feminist arguments about the weaker sex being unable to compete, or the softer sex being unable to tell a lie?

or is it actually more along the lines of the kind of arguments that mra activists warn us about?

i was charged with stalking somebody because i aggressively applied for an apartment, and the argument is that the property owner "perceived" she was harassed. it's completely ridiculous in every possible way.

i was a feminist of a certain sort before this, and the situation isn't going to change my views about gender equality. but, i think everybody should take a little pause from this, because it is, actually, exactly what the mras warned us about happening when you remove critical thinking from the judicial system.

thankfully, the justice (who was female) saw through this with the help of duty counsel (also female). the justice actually laughed at the crown prosecutor's argument. i have a recording of it. it was that specious. and, the second crown prosecutor (female) saw through it and dropped the case, as well. it's hard to know how much of what the counsel for the oiprd is doing is just them doing their job. but, i expect to win the case, at least.

but, it didn't stop me from getting arrested, or having charges filed. and, i'd consequently be careful in leveling those accusations, because they may very well backfire - this is exactly the kind of case where clear thinking is required to overpower the hysteria.
