One of these trolls — in this case, one populating the #WISCFI twitter hashtag for the Women in Secularism conference — threw out a recommendation to all the ladies out there: 8 Easy Tips to Act More Feminine. It’s not clear whether this person was being cynical, mocking, or serious, but at least we can all concur that he was being stupid.
Here are the 8 tips summarized. Please, control your temper (tips #4, 5, 6, and 8).
Dress feminine.
Brush up on your manners.
Smile often.
Be gentle, sweet, and kind.
Do not use abusive words.
Do not speak bluntly.
Be sensitive.
Control your temper.
Man, what a waste of space. I can reduce those all to just one: be submissive, pliant, and pleasant to men. At least it’s not as long-winded as someone’s civility rules, even if it amounts to the same thing.
By the way, I hope something is done about the #WISCFI hashtag before the conference. Right now it’s just a flaming ground for trolling assholes.
