women who find it demeaning to women/antithetical to feminism. Granted, some of it is horrible, but some of it is even made by women. But expressing any appreciation for porn make some people go off on "You're a tool of the patriarchy!" rants.
Same thing with people who think that BDSM (and, more specifically, submission) is anti-feminist. Really? A woman owning her sexuality and choosing how to express it is ANTI-feminist?
The argument being, of course, than no woman can make such a choice because the patriarchy has already warped our ideas of sexuality.
(That's a conundrum, though, because wouldn't the SAME patriarchy have warped the worldview of those who decry BDSM? I mean, let's all start from the same spot, okay? If I'm a tool of the patriarchy, so are they.)

Yeah, I've read that as an argument for the assertion that a woman can't be a feminist unless she's a lesbian.
oh, for the flippin' love of fuck's sweet sister;
2nd mortgage place told us house has NOT been auctioned off.
And we STILL haven't been able to get anyone by phone since we got the letter Friday.
Look. You. I understand there is a backlog. This is why we've been getting our willy diddled for the last 9 months. But someone needs to call us back or pick up the fucking phone. Because if I have to call, it will be because I have gotten into a fight about it with my sweet husband and I Will Not Be Amused. At all.
Sincerely,
I Just Want To Talk To Someone Who Knows What The Fuck Is Up.
Now.
Yeah, I've read that as an argument for the assertion that a woman can't be a feminist unless she's a lesbian.
See, as soon as a person tells me what I *have to* be, then I'ma call foul and say that THAT person isn't exactly my idea of a feminist.
Apparantly, my Pandora is set to "Jilli" - I just got Siouxsie followed by Bowie.
I win!
What I win, I don't know. But I win!
And now it went to The Cure. Jilli totally wins!!
What I win, I don't know. But I win!
Fudge!
Or if you don't like fudge, then cupcakes.
Granted, some of it is horrible, but some of it is even made by women.
There are many women in the world who are actively anti-feminist - the two statements above are not mutually exclusive.
