Exactly. I don't buy that 'huge amounts of prejudice towards US means that we can't be sexist towards THEM' argument. Of course they can. Sexism means judging someone on the basis of their gender, just like racism means judging someone on the basis of their race. Women may have earned the right to sling back some barbs of their own, but that doesn't mean it isn't sexism, or that there aren't double standards at work here. (You never see a 'men's bookstore', do you?)
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
