I think I will have to start a collection of silly quotes I find online because there are many of them and they are truly priceless. See this one for example:
Openly loving women, in a society premised on oppressing women, is prolly one of the most radical things you can do.
I found it here. It’s good to know that there are things that are even more subversive than not shaving one’s arm-pits, of course. However, the quote makes very little sense. Crowds of people openly love their wives, girlfriends, mothers, sisters, female friends, grandmothers, aunts, etc. Many folks even go so far as to love other people’s wives, girlfriends, mothers, sisters, female friends, grandmothers, aunts, etc. What’s so radical about this?
Or are we talking about loving all women in the world as some kind of a unified whole? Well, to use the term I discussed in my previous post, this is just creepy. What would you say about a person who proclaimed they loved Jews? Or Nigerians? Or Ukrainians?
And I’m not even going to get started on “a society premised on oppressing women.”
So then I researched this quote and discovered that it was initially a tweet that many people picked up, retweeted, reposted, and reblogged. This is even more proof that only the silliest statements make it to Twitter popularity.

Does anyone know the original context?

Appears to something a black/feminist/teacher blogger tweeted that was linked by shakespearssister. Didn’t go in too deep so can’t really say much about the blog but it sure is nice to be a radical just for loving women, some of them with tongue.

My first thought was that it is possible to both love and oppress someone, and I think this is actually somewhat common (for women or otherwise) although perhaps the original context is clearer on what they mean by loving and oppressing.

I remember reading a blogpost not too long ago, that made the point that in this patriachy it is simply impossible to love a woman without being oppressive.

Oppressive to her?? What if it’s a woman loving a woman? Or a son loving his mother? Or a niece loving her aunt?
Hmmm. . .

That’s exactly what I think about the author of this bit of wisdom, too.

Cool, I guess all the boyfriends I’ve had who really did love me but refused to support a woman’s right to choose were really radical.

OK, I have scanned backwards from today. This is the first “uninteresting” post I have found. I took the quote to be a rather tired, hackneyed defense of lesbian separatism, and none of what you or anyone else wrote mentioned it. But the quote was not worth mentioning, anyway, in my opinion.

I think you are right. This is such an old, boring argument to make. I simply allowed my envy of other people’s Twitter popularity to get the best of me. 🙂
