RE: "internet feminists" I probably should have just said "feminists on the Internet." I was just saying that as a catchall term because I wasn't sure if you were referring to the feminist blogopshere, since you mentioned Pandagon, or the comics feminist blogosphere, since you posted in a comics forum, or some combination of the two.
Newsarama's blog seems to be borked now, so I can't provide specific examples, but I remember there being a lot more "I feel" than "fans feel" in the piece. You also did say that feminists have an objection to girly things, which you liked. And I do feel that, despite your intentions, you did set up an us vs. them mentality especially re: femininity.
I don't mean to say that you should have said nothing, or not tried to clarify your position. My LJ is open. If I didn't want comments I would have f-locked it or disabled them or closed them. Plus, I referred to you, so you do have every right to respond. I suppose I'm just defending how I responded based on what I read in the original piece, not your new comments (and both STILL seem to not really be talking about the same thing to me). And, well, saying I also stand by my own piece.
