    <content type="html">It can be hard to feminist (if you&amp;rsquo;ll permit me to usdino for feminisme that word wholly inaccurately as a verb for a minute) especially once you pass the threshold of &amp;ldquo;wait, we&amp;rsquo;re not actually in the post-feminist society I was promised in 1997&amp;Prime; and enter the world of &amp;ldquo;this bullshit is everywhere, I can&amp;rsquo;t unsee it and everything I used to enjoy seems tainted.&amp;rdquo; Your friends think you&amp;rsquo;re too earnest, too sensitive, too&amp;hellip;feminist. Random people on the internet think you&amp;rsquo;re a mouthy shrill bitch who isn&amp;rsquo;t getting enough good man loving but they wouldn&amp;rsquo;t want to  give it to you because you&amp;rsquo;re too fat for them anyway. People at work look at you askance when you tell a colleague that saying &amp;ldquo;god, MEN, all the same, never ask for directions&amp;rdquo; is sexist and then they all awkwardly change the subject.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read more: &lt;a href="http://rockstardinosaurpirateprincess.com/2015/02/15/feminism-is/"&gt;http://rockstardinosaurpirateprincess.com/2015/02/15/feminism-is/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=emmelinemay&amp;ditemid=642" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>

    <content type="html">I remember once, when I was quite little, back in nineteen eightymumble, finding a red box with some books inside, with pictures of dragons and monsters. I think there was also some dice, a map and some picture cards. My memory is hazy as it was a long time ago. I don’t remember where the box came from, but it did end up amongst my other games and occasionally I’d take out all the contents and try to understand them.
