It's so problematic.



So back in my women's (womyn's?) college days, my girlfriends (womynfriends?) and I  use to joke around about Barnard humor - it involved calling everything "problematic" (especially the term "woman") and going around saying, "What is this - Ibsen?!" because this is crap we'd overhear on the quad, in the classroom, etc. and dammit, if women's college students who take everything too seriously and/or incredulously reference Dutch playwrights aren't funny, then I don't know what is.

And today, Jezebel posted this.

And we all thought of each other.  It's like going home again.

And clearly I'm a bad feminist, what with the drowning my sorrows in my chemical dependency and all.
