and now she says the term ginger "is a slur like calling a POC the N word, a mentally disabled person the R word, or caiing a woman the C word
Wait, she's a fan of Cracked and thinks Ginger is offensive? Are we talking about the same cracked.com? I mean, as far as humor/snark websites go it's actually fairly tame, but still, they're not exactly polite. And honestly, all of those things are different... look, I hate the R word, but most people who say it aren't trying to convey any sort of hatred. The N word has a whole different set of implications. You can't say one is like the other.
In any case, feminists/activists like that give sane people a bad name. I consider myself a feminist, but it's hard to say that without people assuming I burn bras and hate men. (Nevermind that the bra burning thing is a complete myth.)
