Everyone, I have an announcement to make. Friends, (for now) may I present--BlueIris: Ex-Feminist.

[BlueIris]

I know, I know...it's shocking. But please take a minute to peruse my new blog before passing judgment.

http://www.blueirisexfeminist.blogspot.com/

It's a good read, I swear. I hope that in time, you can all understand.

[ismnotwasm]

1. Actually

The only way I can understand non-feminists with a background in woman's studies if they are from certain Aboriginal bands. Ones without patriarchy.

The blog reads like a very up to the moment and a kind of Pagillia type of thing. Me, I dig real history with cause and effect. Especially around powerful institutions such a Religion or War.

Anyway, I prefer to think of myself as having Bonobo's as a common ancestor. You can have the Chimpanzees.

Ever wonder what the adaptive behavior of women surviving menopause is? I mean, they can't breed, what use are they? Those are the kind of questions that can lead to feminism. The very basics of adaptive suvival. Start there, and you might find your way back.

Anyway, good luck, I think you'll find yourself in a group with a lot of like minded people.

2. No judgment here...

But, what's to understand? You're entitled to change your mind, thoughts, beliefs, etc.
It happens.

I'm a bit 'confused' as to your motivation for this post, though. If you no longer believe in feminism, why do you want 'feminists' to understand your present position? Or am I misunderstanding you? It's late, I'm tired it's possible (that I'm misunderstanding). ;)

Oh and please, don't feel you need to answer my question, BlueIris. My question is more something to think about (consider) than a question I'm seeking a response or answer to, if that makes sense.

I guess this is good-bye, and we won't see you here or in pro-choice, anymore. :hi:
Peace to you, and take care. :hug:

3. Happy April Fools!

At least, I assume this is a joke. :hi:

[BlueIris]

4. Yes, it was an April Fool's Day prank.

That worked.

Oops.

To anyone genuinely offended, I apologize. Apparently, I didn't put enough outrageous sarcasm in? I don't know. I thought the over-the-top content on the blog was bad enough that most would know I wasn't serious.

[bliss_eternal]

7. You got me....!

:spray:

Good one, Blue Iris! I'm so relieved. I was thinking of you today, and wondered...."how...why"? Totally forgot it was April 1st. omg. :blush: You must have laughed yourself silly when you saw our responses. :rofl:

[BlueIris]

10. I didn't so much laugh myself silly as worry that I was about to start getting flamed.

And possibly be responsible for increased blood pressure in several of our regulars.

I really thought my fake profile on the blog would give it away. There is just no way I would ever want to read a book called "BIRTH CONTROL IS SINFUL IN THE CHRISTIAN MARRIAGES AND ROBBING GOD OF HIS PRIESTHOOD CHILDREN!!" Just...no way.

[bliss_eternal]

11. I wish I'd seen that...

(...though you still would have fooled me ;))It's hysterical that you used a book with that title, though. :rofl:

I didn't explore beyond the main page, and the shock of the whole thing stunned me. I didn't notice anything about a book, as I was trying to wrap my brain around naral being linked as a "lie."

[iverglas]

12. good grief, it's real

and it's in stock!

http://www.amazon.com/CONTROL-CHRISTIAN-MARRIAGES-PRIESTHOOD-CHILDREN/dp/1425992609

Where did you find it??

How could anyone manage to publish anything with a title that illiterate?

Well ... if you spell your name Eliyzabeth Anderson, I guess anything's possible.

I'll bet it's pronounced E...LIE...zabeth .........


Ye gods! It costs $150.00!!!!

Too much. I mean, really too much. ;)

[bliss_eternal]

13. Eeeeuuuuwww!

:scared:

I'm creeped out that someone wrote such a thing.

[BlueIris]

14. The Amazon.com user reviews are hysterical. Well, most of them.

As for where I found it--random celebrity gossip discussion site I post at. Which also has a feminist discussion group, though not as cool as ours.

[iverglas]

5. well damn and damn

I didn't get here in time. I like to think I would have got the joke without the hints. ;)

Someone who plays an April fool after the deadline (it's noon on the day, so you were cool) gets to hear the taunt:

April Fool is gone and past
and you're the biggest fool at last!

I think it would apply to someone who claimed not to have been fooled once it was too late, too. So I say nothing. ;)

Except: good one. :toast:

(Oh, if you'd been serious, *I* wouldn't have been polite!)

[bliss_eternal]

8. LOL!

I'm imagining your response, iverglas.
:scared:

6. Shit

You got me. I forgot about April fool's day. Dammit.

Good one though

[bliss_eternal]

9. Ditto.

...Our responses are here for all to see, we fell for it. Damnit!

:blush:

[BlueIris]

15. I can't decide whether or not to delete "my" new blog.

On the one hand, it was one of the best pranks I ever played. On the other, it worked a little too well, offended people, and has offensive content for those who don't know it's a joke. And apparently, some people have checked it out since I first posted about it here (the site now lists the number of profile views at '64.')

[bliss_eternal]

16. I didn't know...

:spray:...it was still up.

I thought you would have deleted it after the prank.

I suppose if you decide to leave it up, you could always say it's "an art piece." :shrug: LOL. Something created as a prank, but you're leaving up to stimulate discussions about feminism....Maybe?



edited for clarity.

[Bunny]

17. Kicking in honor of a great April Fool's prank.

:thumbsup:

[BlueIris]

18. Hee.

It's too bad I will probably never top this.

[Bunny]

19. You really had me going for a while.

:rofl: :applause:

[seabeyond]

20. except after a couple threads yesterday and today, i thought

gwen had convinced you.

and by gosh, you were taking a stand. bah hahahah

and i had even seen this thread before. and knew it was april fool

that is funny

[bliss_eternal]

21. I came here to see this....

...and remember the Best April Fool's prank ever--Thanks for kicking, Bunny!

Though admittedly, google's main page is a pretty good one, too. ;)


edited for typos.

[iris27]

22. Ha - you're still getting people a YEAR and five days later!

Just wandered in here after getting my donor star and clicked on the link before reading the rest of the thread. Admittedly, I only remember a handful of your posts from GD, but I was still like, "WHAT? Feminists for LIFE...ugh, I can't stand Patricia Heaton..." :)

[BlueIris]

23. Yeah, again...this joke worked out a little too well.

Whoopsie.

Welcome, iris27.

[bliss_eternal]

24. yeah, Heaton totally sucks...!

sucks, blows, all of it (and not in the good way ;))! ....welcome, iris27! :hi:
