lastly, congrats on "reading a lot of feminist blogs". i write one. feminism isn't a monolith. perhaps one day you'll move beyond mainstream 101 blogs.
Please note that I never claimed to read "a lot" of feminist blogs. I didn't mention what I read to claim some kind of status. I only mentioned that I read feminist blogs to give some background to what the original "bigger worries at stake" comment reminded me of; to explain where I'd heard something similar.
Frankly, we don't know each other, and you seem to be using a few comments here to jump to conclusions concerning my reading habits and knowledge of feminism.
Additionally, you seem to be targeting me personally with condescension and insults. I didn't try to do that to you, and if I did so unintentionally, I would apologize.
But, even if I am a fledgling in feminist theory compared to you, even if I hurt you first, I don't see what purpose your venom towards me could serve (other than making you feel self-righteous) or how it adds to the discussion.
As for what this post adds to the discussion, I realize it may not add anything, but I don't want those who know me in real life here to think I crawled into a corner and learned my lesson from you or something. I believe I am being treated poorly, and I don't think I deserve it.

And that's about it.
