Yep, We Need Fewer of Me, All Right

[kevin_standlee]

I have learned that I'm an Abusive Hugo Nazi and that the world would be a better place without people like me.

It is any wonder that even I sometimes get fed up with fandom? Yep, without people like me and the hundreds of other people who knock themselves out running things, she wouldn't have any conventions to go so, nor any Hugo Awards to complain about for that matter.

And remember, I'm one of those people who thinks that we do charge too much for Hugo voting rights, and would be happier to have the cost closer to $20 than $50! I wonder what she would make of the people who like the system exactly the way it is right now and don't see anything negative about it at all?

Maybe I should ask Chaz for some HUGO NAZI ribbons?

No. Wrong. Being a woman does not give you the right to call any man who disagrees with you an abuser. If you do so, you're engaging in sexism, and you're negating the experiences of women who really *have* been abused.

Your post on this matter was publicly available. If you don't want debate and criticism of your views, make the post friends-only. Otherwise, you don't get to complain if others comment on your public posts. And you *certainly* don't have any justification for calling people who disagree with you "abusers".

Thanks. This sort of thing really annoys me as well. There is plenty of need for Feminism in the world still. Just because things happen to be better for us in the US or UK doesn't mean that they are better for women anyway. And all you have to do is look at the rape conviction rates to see what the battle isn't won. But I see far too much these days of women setting out to attack people and then yelling "abuse" as soon as someone dares to counter them. The only thing that achieves is to give men another excuse to condemn us as "irrational".
