Finally, A Feminist 101 Blog
INTRODUCTION
aka READ THIS FIRST
Read This First used to be the title of this page, and perhaps it still should be. Theres a reason that this blog has a dedicated information page as the front page instead of just the latest posts. If you dont read this page, and then the recommended guide pages that follow, and afterwards have difficulty finding the FAQ that you seek, then you only have yourself to blame.
This blog is a place where Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Feminism are Answered.
Your approach to these FAQs will probably depend on how you arrived here: either
a search engine result, or
someone recommended this as a feminist resource, or
you were sent here in response to your asking of one of these FAQs, either in a feminist forum or elsewhere.
You may be a newbie to feminist theory, or looking to refresh your memory on some basics, or looking for links to provide to other people. Your intent may be to challenge feminism or to advocate feminism. Whichever way, welcome!
This site is targeted particularly towards answers to those typically disruptive questions that recur on feminist blogs[1], so although it is intended as a general feminist information resource, the emphasis on a blog-like structure might not best suit those generally unfamiliar with blogs, and you might prefer one of the introductory feminist theory sites listed in our Resources section.

I haven't run through the whole thing, but it might be good for an automatic response to both the misguided, but well meaning as well as the completely asinine

...thanks for the resource.
I love this bit, it made me LOL:
Discussions on feminist forums are often disrupted, frequently but not always deliberately, by commentors who post often-seen questions/assertions which end up turning the discussion into arguing about their question/assertion instead of the original issue that was being discussed.
Now where have we seen that before?
