AskMetafilter is the sister site to the massively popular community weblog Metafilter. It’s an advice site that covers a wide spectrum of topics, from “what laptop should I buy?” to “how do I come across as less condescending in e-mails?” to “are shifts in your political outlook inevitable as you get older?” Even if the question never gets answered satisfactorily, you can usually count on an engaging, intelligent conversation.
So, AskMetafilter, how do you explain feminism to your sister? A thread that reveals much about the state of feminism today.

Our comment policy
Shameless prides itself on the diversity of opinions expressed by our writers, and we encourage and appreciate different points of view. Our intention at Shameless is to foster community and to maintain a safe and positive blogging environment; we do not consider it our duty to give a voice to anybody with an opinion.
Discussion on this site is moderated. We will delete comments that:
(We get to decide what's discriminatory, hateful, attacking, or inflammatory).
In some cases, we will cap off comments on a discussion when we feel they are spiralling out of control and fostering an unwelcoming space for bloggers and readers. Comments will be closed by the Web Editor, unless the post is by the Web Editor, in which case the Editor in Chief will close them.
If your comments repeatedly make the same point, they may be deleted. This also applies to comments made by multiple members of the same organization.
Your comments should be about the topic of the post, not its writer—although we certainly encourage praise for our writers, if you want to say something nice.
