The idea that everyone should fit into a narrow box of 'adulthood' does great harm. People go without help and support they need. And the places where we need support aren't visible to others. For example, if one can only live on their own by working two jobs, and they have issues with fatigue or a need for more sleep than others consider necessary- even if the peanut gallery has a lot to say about that, it's better for that person to center their health. If a person is able to go to a few social events for maybe 4 hours a week, but can't work a 40 hour a week job, well, the peanut gallery needs to put a sock in it. You know what? Maybe learning to put a sock in it is an important ability to learn. You never know what someone is doing only at great cost that you take for granted. Maybe more STFUing is what we need.

Oh, this is a good one. First it accuses feminists of being 'crazy', which is all fun what with the sexist bit about women speaking their mind=insanity, and the ableist assumption that the mentally ill don't have valid opinions. We also have the great use of 'retarded', because nobody on the net is disabled, or knows any disabled people,and BUT SOMETHING ELSE IS WORSE, and also, if we don't like porn, we're dumb.
Why don't you just stick to 'you hate sex, and are ugly?' pro porners. [edit: they took this down, after much twitter complaint.]
