Writer's Block: You and me and baby makes three

Oh, what the hell, Livejournal? What kind of inane, misogynist question is this? Were you wistfully wondering why there wasn't enough eugenicist talk lately? Did you think that women needed to be reminded that our bodies are never considered to actually belong to us? Did you just feel that it was a good time to have a rip roaring classist, misogynist, ableist party?

You're not even trying. Just throwing out questions wrapped in fake edginess and inviting your readers to show the worst of themselves to the world.

Seriously, stick to the fluffy questions. Don't bring anyone's human rights under debate. It's sickening.

Randomly came across your answer to this question - I'm glad I did too because all the other answers were seriously scaring me!

So, in response, THIS!!! :)

[lisaquestions.livejournal.com]

Thank you. Sometimes I wonder what they're thinking when they put something like this up, like who thought this was an interesting question to provoke thoughtful discussion?

I only read a few answers, and all I can say is gross and scary. :(

[withevrylite.livejournal.com]

I don't know, but there doesn't seem to be much "discussion" at all. All it did was remind me how ignorant and judgmental so many people are!

[gingersomething.livejournal.com]

AGREED

[lisaquestions.livejournal.com]

Yes, and this isn't the first time they've asked a leading question like this. I just wish they'd stop doing it.

oh, what. however, my first thought was: mmm, baby flesh for breakfast. (i am klassy.)

[lisaquestions.livejournal.com]

I am glad you approve, bb. :)

That is not sarcastic!

[lisaquestions.livejournal.com]

Wow, random!

Where do you let your mind wander?

[nixwilliams.livejournal.com]

well, they said "having children", which always reminds me of "having a sandwich".

[lisaquestions.livejournal.com]

Okay, not as random as I thought, Mr. Swift. :D

[nixwilliams.livejournal.com]

hee! i should read that again one day...

[nixwilliams.livejournal.com]

OTOH there are so many people out there that I now know to never engage in a conversation.

[lisaquestions.livejournal.com]

If I had a paid account, my notes would be overflowing.

[nixwilliams.livejournal.com]

totes!

[lsmsrbls.livejournal.com]

You are absolutely right, as always.

[lisaquestions.livejournal.com]

ty, ty.

When people say things like that I start to worry, though!

[winterfox.livejournal.com]

99% of these questions are moronic, and I'd estimate a solid 20%--at a conservative guess--is offensive to boot.

[lisaquestions.livejournal.com]

Speaking of 99% stupid and 20% offensive, why didn't anyone tell me girl_gamers was nuked?

[winterfox.livejournal.com]

Ooooh, right. There was an sf_d post about that. The founding mod made transphobic comments, was called on it, threw a fit and rage-quit. I'll find you a link.

[lisaquestions.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I read the post last night. It was epic and I had schadenfreude up to my eyeballs. It was amazing.

I wish I'd seen it to mock them with you.

[winterfox.livejournal.com]

I'm just sorry I never got a chance to comment on the original wank. It all happened while I was asleep. Curse you, frail mortal flesh!

[lisaquestions.livejournal.com]

Some days there is no justice.

That was obviously one for both of us.

[lsmsrbls.livejournal.com]

I promise that when I see you say something I disagree with, I will call it out.

[paulnolan.livejournal.com]

I like this answer <3

Oh livejournal, that is not going to make people think you are more like tumblr. ):
