My little sister loves this book.

Hm...supposing I'm a man...it would depend on how you'd define "extreme". If she were the "kill all men/men are useless" type that you occassionally stumble across on Twitter, or thinks that women who are more feminine are undeserving of respect, I would say hard pass. But some might define extreme feminists of ones who just want basic rights, but are very vocal about them, like to have an abortion when the fetus isn't that developed, or, hell, not to get arrested for having a miscarriage. Or get paid/longer maternity leave (mostly opposed by people who underestimate the difficulty of childcare). Depends on how far right the individual judging leans. For that second type, I may accept.

By "beside they being man or woman", do you mean would I marry someone as long as they were an extreme feminist regardless of my own sexual preferences?

For me, I've gotta say "Machine Messiah", by Yes. It's one of the longest, and most interesting songs I've heard. Most songs have just one "mood" explored in them, but this one shifts from joyous to melancholy and back multiple times, and does so perfectly. Plus, I'm very nostalgic about it since it was one of my favorite songs as a child. Drama was the one of the first two albums I bought as a kid, almost entirely because that one song was on it. (Also--is that a Sonic pfp, op? A person of culture, I see 😉)

Interesting. I know that most Fediverse stuff doesn't allow ads on the platform, so do the creators just get a cut of any money donated to the instance?

Oh...god I sprained my brain rereading it three times trying to reinterpret the last part. But yeah, the last part does seem to be asking if they are ugly and don't use makeup because they are feminists. I thought he was just adding extra words to intentionally confuse people.

Revised version: Are extremist feminist females “ugly” because they don’t wear makeup because of patriarchy, or are they feminists and don't wear makeup because they are ugly?

My attempt at translating this question to regular English: Are extremist feminist females "ugly" because they don't wear makeup because of patriarchy and are "so feminist"? (Cut out some parts I thought were redundant)

Has any feminist really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

Or the space before your punctuation . (I wish I could have written that in French)

I know that Peertube doesn't have any built-in monetization right now, so they would probably be relying on viewer charity to make money on some platforms.

I can get people being cautious about for-profits trying to monetize user data, but trying to ruin this guy's life over it, regardless of whether or not he was actually trying to make money from their data, is just sick. Anyone who thinks this is an acceptable method of protest is fucked up in the head.
