Because a White Guy Said It
uhuh-she-said:
Listen,
It does not matter what you say. As a woman, as a woman of color, as a woman of size, as a woman with large breasts or no breasts and a lifetime of experience with bucket loads of passion. It does not fucking matter.*
Because unless there is a white guy backing you up, you are an angry bitch. Uppity, spirited, “that girl”, the femanazi, the super-libber, the PC chick,...

lostinthought92 asked: What on earth did you do to get someone to say those kinds of things about you? That was one of the most thoroughly original and flatly insulting things I have read since finding the internet. And yeah, don't fret about what he said; his hate is only corroding him from the inside as he lets it sit there. lol
