There’s a segment of my blog readership that comes from the indie-craft world, and I see an overlap between people who go to craft fairs, and who are lesbian or bisexual,” she says. “I think that’s coming from the ‘do it yourself’ mentality. We can make our own, and we’re taking back some of those traditionally feminine skills by doing them in a feminist kind of way … It’s kitschy cool. Even though cupcakes are very mainstream, if we make Pride cupcakes and bring them to the parade, then there’s a reclaiming of that as something valid for women without it capitulating that idea that women have to cook.

Basically, you can do what you want, e.g., even if you’re a femninist you can still cook. On a slightly separate note, I’ve been bored recently by people’s use of language to make an idea seem grand, i.e., different from something that’s already been said. I appreciate people who try to make their ideas sound like something that has been said and everyone can agree with, rather than making your idea sound like something new/different/unique to you and your best friends. Of course, you lose your identity, but that’s the best part.
