Dear Amanda Marcotte from the Pandagon blog

[unusualmusic_lj_archive]

You appropriated.(EDIT again: See below for definition of plagarism pointed out by stoneself, which would then place this entire thing back under the tag of plagiarism again. Especially since Ms. Marcotte sites another woman, Nina Perales as the inspiration, in an effort to bolster her claims that brownfemipower had nothing to do with it. Ms. Perales, however, was < was not credited in the article either!*headdesk*) You STOLE from WOC. Taking ideas that aren't yours without citing where they came from is FUCKING STEALING!!! And because of your greed and vanity a powerful advocate for the voiceless has decided to take down her blog. It's not enough to be published, to have a popular blog, to be asked to work on a Presidential campaign. Must you use your more powerful position to engage in the same type of exploitation that you complain that men do to you and your constituency, women? How fucking hypocritical. How fucking self-absorbed. And then you want to hide? HELL NO! Stand up and own your actions. You took the adulation. Stand up and own your shame. Please take down your BS article, and publicly apologize for your motherfucking STEALING!!!!

Thanks to delux_vivens and the many others who exposed the truth.

This hits it out of the park


EDIT:Problem Chylde has a diamond bright post on this plagiarism
