Hey Du'ers I've been reborn.

[Cleita]

The old Clete with her androgynous name and 4,000 + posts has been laid to rest, but she is resurrected and reincarnated as Cleita, a definitely female name. Unfortunately, she has to live her DU life all over again, the one hundred posts, the 700 club and the first 1,000 posts. Sigh. So everybody who has Clete on ignore, you need to update your preferences.

[fishnfla]

1. Unfortunatly???

FREEPER ALERT! FREEEPER ALERT!

Single digit posters can never be trusted:)

[Kamika]

2. what happened?

whydid you have to change

[Cleita]

6. No, I just wanted to be more precise.

[Kamika]

7. heh

My nickname here isnt really telling either..

[JanMichael]

3. But WHY? I liked "Clete".

My 2nd cousin (Or first, it's hard to know in my family) is named Clete, he's a great guy!

Oh...That's why?

[Cleita]

4. Yup.

Although I often passed as a man on paper in my working past, just so I would get some respect from the men I was exchanging business correspondence with, I'm not doing that anymore. New millenium requires a new feminazi attitude here. Also, it is pronounced the same. Clete is the Greek spelling and Cleita is the Latin. :-)

[Syncronaut Seven]

5. Rebirth, Renewal, you godesses

are all the same! ;)

[Cleita]

13. Yes, it does keep us young.

;-)

9. What's A Feminazi?

Is it akin to a Dem with an attitude or a Cubs fan who witnessed Bartman's bonehead play in person?

[Cleita]

10. It's a word Rush Limbaugh coined to describe

any woman who got in his way demanding equality and rights. Imagine that.

[Kamika]

11. its a woman who takes feminism one step too far

Trust me they DO exist.

Ofcourse the freeper definition of a feminazi is anyone that isnt blond christian and married to a freeper

[Cleita]

12. Explain, what is a step too far?

In my book, when we kill all the men, except a few breeders, and rule the world, then that is probably a step too far.

[sistersofmercy]

14. ROFL!

"except a few breeders!" Later there's a movie on World link I'm watching.

[Don_G]

15. I Would Hope To Think So

Don't know about breeding but a cut throat would tend to end my support for women's rights.

[Cleita]

16. It was just a joke.

:silly:

[Kamika]

17. heh well ill say a example

My friend was studying litteraturein College and in this course this female teacher picked out 5 books they were to read.



Now this course was NOTHING at all to do with feminism or anything like that.

Anyway The books she picked out was

"I know why the caged bird sings" (about a young black girl in 30s america, getting exposed to racism, raped when shes 7, a dad good for nothing, and getting pregnant when shes 17 or something

"Things fall apart" about a tribal man in 1930s africa who considered his many wifes as objects and tok every opportunity to hit them.. manhandle them etc.

"union street" basicly 5 stories about british women getting raped, manhandled by their husbands.. getting kids when theyre 16 , doing illegal abortions etc

"the woman who walked into doors" one big story about a british woman getting raped, manhandled by her husband, gettingkids when shes 18 etc.

and then a salman rushdie book...


Anyway i think this is really wrong.. and the guys in this class got pretty upset from what i heard.

[Cleita]

18. Maybe that was the idea.

Do you think men should be sheltered from knowing the unvarnished truth about what happens to women even today in our society. I know I got very squeamish at first when teachers introduced us to the terrible things done to African Americans through literature, since they were dragged over here as slaves. Opening up young eyes to injustices isn't really going to far is it?

[Kamika]

22. well thats wrong

The course had nothing to do with politics

[Cleita]

25. Sigh, I can see our work is cut out for us.

[roguevalley]

19. don't blame them. sounds like Oprah's book club

Give me some light once in a while.

[Kamika]

23. ROFL

good one :D

[Syncronaut Seven]

21. Breeders!

Ooh... Ooh... Pick me... pick me! I have good genes! Levis 501's to be precise.

[sistersofmercy]

43. hehehe!

[brainshrub]

24. Can I be one of the breeders?

My main qualification is that I ALWAYS make sure the toilet seat is down after I use it. (My gf trained me well.)
I have other qualifications to be one of the breeders...but I would be bragging and this is supposed to be a family-friendly website.

[Cleita]

28. Haha.

You don't have to brag. We'll decide after we've done a focus group of users.

[ForrestGump]

32. If it pleases you,

may I submit my petition to be among the 'breeders' should such an event occur?

Please?



Man, that Xena signature picture is powerful mojo. Or, perhaps, moja.

[Cleita]

36. If NSMA lets you.

[MuseRider]

33. I can't stop laughing

at that one! Breeders!

[Cheswick2.0]

20. I like your new millenium attitude...embrace your feminazi self!

Perhaps I need a female name? Or maybe I will start posting my own very female name in my sig line. Hmmmmmmm, you have me thinking here Cleita.

[cally]

26. Welcome to DU Cleita

I hope the same kick ass attitude and suuport for women continues in your new persona. Reading some of these threads recently, I think we all have to embrace our feminism and speak up more.

[Cleita]

27. Cheswick and Cally.

Yes, I think a little sisterhood is in order these days. The gains of the last century are starting to slip away from us.

[prolesunited]

30. A toast to my feminazi sister in arms

:toast:

Words alone can't express how cool I think think you and this thread are!

:yourock: sister!

[MuseRider]

34. I want a place in this group!

Damn, I thought my ideas of a "perfect" society were my own. Now I find out we share them. Also, you are right, we do have our work cut out for us again. It seems we did not pass along our stories well enough and these days I am never sure that we aren't being driven back into the 50's. I am not sure, however, that these years will be quite as attractive without a bra.

[Cleita]

35. Hey, I have to wear something

with aerodynamic design just so the old cows udders don't hit my knees. Yeah, I think we'll leave the boobie binders on this time. :-)

[Booberdawg]

37. Boobie? Did someone call me?

:o

[latebloomer]

29. I like it!

And I did think of you as a man before. This changes the picture.

[Cleita]

31. Thanks.

:toast:

[Cleita]

38. Kick for those who need to know.

:kick:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

39. OK. I'll update my preferences

:evilgrin:

Welcome back in your NEW incarnation. :hi:

[Cleita]

40. Hi Teena.

:hi:

[BurtWorm]

41. I always assumed Clete was the fem. form of Clet.

Was I wrong?

:o

[Cleita]

42. No. You weren't wrong.

Clete is the classical Greek spelling of Cleita, which is how it's pronounced. There is also Clete, like in Clete Roberts and Clet is a variation of that, which is pronounced "kleet". This name is for the most part male. So many DU'ers were calling me dude that I figured a correction was in order.

[Cleita]

44. Another kick for those who are still asking.

:kick:
