Meta Rec: Your Vagina is a Bigot; My Vagina is a Saint

You've probably already read it, but [archiveofourown.org profile] franzeska has some EXCELLENT meta on AO3 about fandom, racism, sexism, shipping, slash/gen/het, fandom history, hypocrisy, and counterproductive activism.  It's long but OH SO GOOD.  With a lot of really important points that get completely missed in most discussions of these issues.  I have a few quibbles and one major problem with the piece, but overall I agree with most of it.

Your Vagina is a Bigot; My Vagina is a Saint

Total agreement on the meta! Total agreement with you, that is—some quibbles, at least one where I'm Uh What—but by and large great. I'm not surprised that Tumblr erupted, but tbh I don't think most of the people wanking would know self-awareness if it hit them over the heads with a 2x4, so.
