UPDATE: The awesome quote below turns out to be by the super awesome Chally, at Zero At The Bone, who wrote these wise words in a post from November 2011. Sincere apologies to Chally for not acknowledging this when posted.
I've seen this circulating on Facebook and thought I would share it here :-)

That is great.
How odd, that's a quote from me. http://zeroatthebone.wordpress.com/2011/11/22/on-claiming-to-be-a-stupid-man-who-doesnt-know-anything/ Can you help me trace the source of this picture>
Chally - will send you a DM on twitter.
Hey Chally I am so so sorry, I genuinely didn't know it was by you (I assumed the people who put it together wrote it). Have updated the post to reflect your authorship. Will see what I can do to track down a possible origin. Serious and sincere apologies, it sucks to have your work appropriated like that.
Not sure if you have found this yet Chally, but seems to be the origin of the image? http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151988769270083&set=a.10151804932615083.859330.243605045082&type=3&theater
I picked it up from the FB feed of several friends who I think shared it from the Live With Purpose page, where I see it has 208 shares - I have posted a comment there with a URL to your original post, hope that was ok.
No worries, the image was such that anyone would have assumed that, given the logo in the corner - which is what helped me to track down the origins. Thanks for the edit and for posting the comment on that page. And yes, it is horrid to have one's work appropriated without context or attribution, just gutwrenching every time, and this was on such a wide scale, too.
Unreal, thanks I didn't know that. I understand real Feminism now.
Kewl stuff , have a nice day.
