The other point that I wanted to respond to. I was sad to read that @samsanator is taking a Twitter hiatus and a blog hiatus. Apparently, she has been getting lots of comments (hate) from allegedly feminist types, who are judging her for (gasp) getting married.

Don't we as a group--feminists, activists, and other social justice types have larger concerns than to judge one woman's decision to marry a man and have a huge celebration? This doesn't mean that she leaves her feminist credentials at the door. No. She certainly practices her feminist politics everyday as a teacher making a difference in the lives of countless students. If anything, this sort of attack merely plays with old tropes that are just not realistic. Some women and men will continue to marry. Some women and mean who are self-proclaimed feminists will continue to marry and we should not castigate or judge them for this.

I hope that she will continue her feminist blogging, if not, she noted that she will opt to continue her blogging on education. Hopefully, she will do both. That is the thing with blogging--it is like graffiti in a washroom. People become so brave and perhaps self-righteous with their computer monitors protecting them.

@samsanator, I hope you enjoy your hiatus. You have many supporters!

It really makes me wonder if these "haters" are even women or even feminists and not just some trolls trying to make things difficult.
