A Modern World

This kind of issue somewhat bugs me, but then Xander just kind of took it and ran with it.  And said muse kind of had some good, quotable points, so I thought I'd share it.  This could probably be a thing anywhere there's a mature, self-aware Xander, though it was written by the Shadowed Suspicion version in mind.  (This was prompted by the 'yell at McGee' thing, which.  Yes, actually, Kate, if you're working on a computer placed under the desk, you kind of have to be under the desk, and okay, maybe I'm super paranoid, but I would super notice if someone was under my desk before anyone even had the opportunity to see up my skirt.  Well, not that I'd be wearing a skirt, but if I did, I'd wear it proud and point is I'd super notice that someone was under my desk before I sat down.)
One of my favorite sane feminists was a girl in our class who brings in her knitting to her gender studies class.  It apparently drives the rabid feminists insane, and the statement is just 'well, if I want to go do archery, I'll do that, but right now, I want to knit, and nothing will stop me'.  People should be able to do what they want (within, well, sane limits, like murder's out of the question and stuff) without being judged.
Cut because it's somewhat long, and, well, you kind of can't talk about feminism stuff without talking about some stuff that might require a trigger warning.  It's brief, but I thought I'd give a head's up.
