In botany and dendrology, a rhizome (from Ancient Greek: rhízōma ”mass of roots”, from rhizóō ”cause to strike root”) is a modified subterranean stem of a plant that is usually found underground, often sending out roots and shoots from its nodes.

Women have to do so little to be declared “man haters”. All we have to do is name male violence for what it is. It is at this point the patriarchally minded step in and throw the “man hating” cliche into the mix. But in doing so, what men have done to women is forgotten, brushed under the carpet, ushered into the corner with candy with the hope it’ll be forgotten.
But for a man to be declared a “woman hater” he has to do so much more. Even when men abuse, rape, prostitute and kill women, they’re excused… His victim’s actions are looked for as if his hatred was a logical reaction to her own actions.
The liberals forget how ingrained woman hating is… from that moment a baby is killed for being female, to the child’s growth, through adulthood- womanhood is something to be despised, to be destroyed. Women are hated freely and easily. Men become the untouchables… we are not allowed to criticise them, lest we be labelled men haters.
But if all it takes to be labelled a man hater is to speak out unrelentlessly against male violence, to despise the violence done to my sisters, then I’ll wear that label… I’ll write it myself, and I’ll scream it from the rooftops. I’d rather be a man hater than stop addressing male violence for what it is.

You may remember a little while ago I responded to an article published on Doctor Who TV which asked whether there was too much negativity in the Doctor Who fandom, to which I responded “No, because Doctor Who needs negativity right now.”
Since that time there’s been a spate of articles…
I sometimes get angry at RTD for raising our expectations. He took a lot of the issues of sexism that Doctor Who has had to deal with since the 60s and made some progress towards dealing with it, but then Moffat came along and, well, shit.
Don’t say you’ll ‘treat a girl like a princess’ unless you’re prepared to follow up on that shit.
