You know, if he did a little research he'd realize that things that should be "sure wins" seldom are, and that those difficult wins don't get a ton of media coverage.

Oh wait, I forgot! He can't research! Our vaginas do that for us!!

I pity you in the coming years when you won't even matter.

Why do so many of these people allude to a mysterious future time when everything will be different? And why do I always get the feeling that this mythical future time looks a lot like a Mad Max movie?

I've played the Mohamed game. I never win cause my damn vagina keeps getting in the way.

"I don't see you raising issues about the magazines that turn our children into little women at age 10 or less."

Oh, you mean like getting panties yanked that suggest to them that they should exchange their sexuality for money? Nope, none of that here. Plus no criticism of the disney princess thing and how it encourages inappropriate sexuality. Wasn't on this site yesterday.

Oh, and this site didn't cover Geena Davis's efforts to reveal gender bias in media. Not in the slightest. (If I weren't lazy, I'd provide links to all the things feministing didn't do.)

Boy, that guy sure has our number.

Did he just insult us for not caring about the very issues inherent in our recent "sure win?"
If he's concerned about such things, why in the world is he so up in arms about the fact that we DID something about it? This one is really confusing.

ehh???

Gee I'm wandering but there are so many things that you need to be more concerned about than hitting the home runs on sure things and I pity you in the coming years when you won't even matter.

I love run-on sentences that don't make sense. Especially when they are uttered or written by someone trying to insult me, since it makes them look stupid.

My pet peve of the week:

People who don't follow feminist news or read feminist writing, but *think* they oppose everything feminism stands for, who criticize feminists for not paying attention to issues we pay A LOT of attention to.

Does this guy follow baseball at all? Because I do, and I'm pretty sure that any batting coach or manager worth his salt would be all in favor of hitting home runs on sure things. I just don't see Don Mattingly or Joe Torre saying to the Yankees "Y'know, when the pitcher screws up and hangs the ball big, fat, and slow right over the plate, just let that one go by. It's too easy." You crush that pitch, knock in a few runs, and hey, before you know it, you're team has won the game, provided you've got good defense.

Hit the easy ones out of the park. It's good for the team, good for the fans, and moves you forward.

Oh, and if he thinks he knows what we "should" be focusing on, why doesn't he join whatever important cause he's talking about?

And if getting WalMart to remove panties were such a sure thing, wouldn't we be stupid NOT to go for it?

Ahem. your team has won the game.

wait, i don't get it... at all... Was this a letter that you received? What's a Mohamed game? And how do we know it's a guy?

Gotta love the concern trolls.

Ah well. Give the guy a break. He's "wandering," after all.

galinab0x, yes it's an email we got--i'm publishing a bunch of hate mails all day. as to whether or not it's a man, i think the letter makes it pretty obvious--but also the names that accompanied the email were also male.

And how do we know it's a guy?

Women don't usually refer to other women as "you femmes." The person was clearly standing outside the blanket category, leaving the assumption that the person is not a femme, but an homme instead. That's what I assumed, at any rate.

Wowza. Also, if google doesn't know what a "Mohamed game" is, I sure don't.

You've got me hooked - I can't wait much longer for my next fix. Keep them coming!

Love that you are posting these; it's giving me and my coworker quite a laugh.

I wonder if the "Mohamed game" is supposed to be a racist reference to suicide bombing. As if to say, if we were really serious instead of just being "whiney ass babies" we'd all be killing ourselves for the cause.

Ugh. I wish I could say that I am surprised, but I'm not.

At least this is amusing me while I write a paper for my women's studies theory class! Yay for feministing aiding in procrastination!

Jessica, thanks for clarifying :) Let me know if you would like additional hate comments because i've gotten a bunch lately on my feminist blog (some how the "male rights movement" folk found my blog and think it's cool to leave really rude comments...?)

I think you guys should make a page entirely devoted to chronicling hate mail for us to peruse when we need moral support. Why not share them all?

I think he's referring to the special code one can enter in the Nintendo 64's Street Fighter II that allows you to fight as Mohamed. I still prefer E. Honda or Chun Li, though.

I would suggest that these people use spellcheck or something before they "right" us an e-mail. buuut then again, they aren't spelling words wrong, they're just...not using the right ones. If I were writing a hate email to someone, I'd at least make sure I used proper grammar. It just makes it funnier to read.

Damn! He's got us pegged! Us ladies just don't got the guts. Not like him, who can send... emails. Woo! He sure showed us!

When he said we don't have the guts - I was really expecting it to say that we didn't have the balls and I wish it would have but I guess he didn't have the balls to write that.

What the hell is this person even talking about? Where is the greeting? Maybe it is a secret cry for a grammar lesson?

Can we use his penis to hit those home runs?

Sure thing.

I wish these could at least be semi-coherent. But wait, we're the crazy ones!

This is a fun site when the snark gets flying.
I assumed "Mohammed game" means you're too busy trying to destroy Wal-Mart to care about all the oppressed women in the Middle East (and if you thought about them Even Once you'd realize you chicks have it pretty damn good in this country, so stop whining! [er, that's my assumption of his thinking, not a statement of my own])

I played the Mohamed game once. It's a turn based strategy game. You can usually conquer the Middle East, Asia Minor, and North Africa before a random event happens that causes your civilization to turn its back on Reason. It's downhill from there. I once managed to get as far as Greece and the Iberian peninsula!

I think he's got stories mixed up. It's the wandering Jew, right? Not the wondering Muslim. Or, is it both? My vagina is currently out to lunch so I cannot ask her.

My vagina whispered all the answers during my final today. Of course, none of the answers were whispered to me. ;)

I think that e-mail was directed at me. Every Saturday night, I have friends over to play the Mohamed game. It's a $5 buy in. I was wandering if any of you wanted to join the fun? There will be chicken.

EG - I loved your baseball talk. This person is definitely an easy out, like a past his prime catcher with bad knees and failing bat speed.

Maybe the Mohamad game is like Yahtzee, except you yell "Mohamed" instead.

Jessica- You don't apply [sic] nearly as often as you could.
