Anyone remember that scene in the third Lord of the Rings, when the Riders of Rohan rode to face the armies of Mordor, and they knew it could end in total disaster, but they lined up and charged anyway ? That's how I feel when I read shit like this. It has to be met with resistance. it just has to, no matter what the consequences. Women is not dated. Women is not transphobic. Women is not a term which can be applied to men. Women cannot be cast aside. Women are not a feeling. Women are not a stereotype. Women are women. Women are adult female human beings. That is the sole definition of women. Men are not women. They cannot become women. No matter how much they want to. No matter how much they delude themselves. No matter how they mutilate themselves. It will never happen.

I cannot believe I live in a world in which I have to write this.

"spear shall be shaken, shield shall be splintered,

a sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises!

Ride now, ride now, ride! Ride for ruin and the world's ending!"

    You don't always get to pick the field of battle, the conditions, or the enemy.

    Like Sun Tzu says

    "Water shapes its course according to the nature of the ground over which it flows; the soldier works out his victory in relation to the foe whom he is facing."
