What i find especially interesting about the comments on mystickeeper's fiction/fanfiction post is that the comment thread turned so tense.
That is what is bothering me about it still, especially because I am good friends (and neighbors!) with antarcticlust. I was trying to get at that with my further-down comment about emotional needs. I also think there is something to the "insidious bias" that I mentioned--that people can unintentionally say anti-fanfic things even while they profess not to judge it. But I don't want to pick on or pile on my friend, either, you know? Even though I really *do* want to pick apart her arguments, because it's an argument I care about.
OK, about the Pike's Place incident: HOLY SHITE. Of course a woman's skirt is always a private place!! Were there any women on that supreme court? Because this is why we need people like Sotomayor on the national supreme court. This is why identity politics matter. I realize I'm probably preaching to the choir.
