Now it can be told. Loungers, may I present to you...BlueIris: Ex-Feminist.

[BlueIris]

I realize that this is going to shock many of our posters, particularly long-term DU members who have read many of my pro-feminist rantings over the years. But now, all that's changed:

I only hope my friends here can understand.

[BlueIris]

1. I kinda thought I'd be getting more support about this.

:shrug:

[Tom Kitten]

2. I just want to let it go...

Ladyfriend I got S.O. against who was crazy needed help; more help than I could provide especially since I was the butt of her anger but yet I supported here the two years I put up with her, to my regret.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. My dear BlueIris...

Hmmm...interesting, indeed.

And of course, I support your right to your views, even though I may not agree with them.

I consider myself a feminist, but you are certainly more than entitled to how you see things.

:hug:

[flvegan]

4. I understand.

I'm a man and a feminist. I no longer post my male feminist beliefs here because I have a penis and seems according to some, should be killed for just that. They lost a good ally, IMO sadly.

16. Feminism isn't about hating men, despite what some folks say

Glad to have you on board.



(and apologies if this was also an April Fool -type comment)

[WildEyedLiberal]

5. I think we is bein' April Fooled

That's a very elaborate AF ploy, though - a blog and everything. Well done!

[BlueIris]

7. Yes, it was an AF thing.

I threw up the site in a couple of hours, solely for this prank.

Which worked a bit too well in some circles.

Thanks for reading!

[Chorophyll]

20. Holy crap!

I figured it was an April Fool's thing, but damn, you sounded serious. Okay, I can actually go to sleep tonight now.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

6. So you've finally seen the light!

Are you going to date Bill O'Reilly now? :rofl:

[BlueIris]

8. Well, I'm a little bit more partial to Sean Hannity, myself...but seeing as how I need a man

who shares my "new views," Bill O isn't so out of the question.

[BlueIris]

9. But, but...I was funny for once!

Come on. Read "my" profile on the blog. It's painfully bad (especially my WishList).

[Bunny]

11. Hahahaha!

When I got up this morning I read your post in the Feminist group, looked at your "blog", and thought: damn...people can certainly change their opinions, but this one went WAY overboard! This was before I had my coffee, so my brain was still befuddled.

Now I see it's a joke - whew! I'm ashamed to say you had me going for a while! :thumbsup:

[Chorophyll]

21. Pat Boone

and polka. :rofl:

[Redbear]

10. Bravo.

Truly bravo.

Stephen Colbert has nothing on you (although he does do it every single night).

Since I didn't read this until 4/2, I was totally take in.

[Gormy Cuss]

12. About time you fessed up, poseur.

That blog is pure art.:toast:

[BlueIris]

14. Thank you; yes it is. nt

[tigereye]

17. sadly there are folks out there who do believe those things...

:scared:

[Wetzelbill]

13. I would agree

much of what you say in that is true. Glad you've seen the light.

[tigereye]

15. really?

why, for heaven's sake? I was gonna say :wtf: and then I thought, this makes no sense and seems to be totally wrong about feminism, so it must be, duh, April Fools.



You got me! (I always thought you were an old-school feminist, had no idea you were a 20 something!)


Feminists are cool - I am proud to have been one since I was in my 20s - 30 years now!

[BlueIris]

19. Well, I was raised by an old school (equity) feminist, so I can see how you got that impression. nt

[tigereye]

22. well, good for you and her!

[old mark]

18. Thanks for clearing this up. You should have a talk with Rush...

...or just shoot him.
