In Which I Compare My Friends to Scottish, Spacefaring Pterodactyls

Chatting with Tlönista over coffee the other day and the inevitable question comes up: how did I go, in two years, from neo-atheist student organizer to picking fights with MRAs?*

Honestly, I'm still not sure -- it's a story I'll have to unravel sometime. For now, all I can suggest is that I'm where I'm at now with regards to feminism is in large part because of some incredibly patient and fantastic friends.

Much like the Yehat uplifted the Shofixti and introduced them to interstellar travel, these folks really made me aware of a lot of issues I had never given serious thought to. I owe them a great deal, and I hope they will look past my questionable metaphor to see the underlying sentiment.


*Not to say that the two are necessarily mutually exclusive, it just worked out that way in my case.
