maybe if we all would get rid of all the push-up bras, thongs, midriff-baring blouses, hot pants, low-rider, but-hugging jeans, platform shoes, and all those other evil tools that incite the male lust to such out-of-control extremes, then maybe men would actually respect women more and not get those evil erections.

If we got rid of all that, I’d learn to sew and make myself those low-rider butt-hugging jeans.

I’m not so concerned about those ev0l men who get those ev0l erections. The 0.002% who hassle me (well its more than that, but … maybe … 1%, which a considerable pain, but…)? There going to hassle me no matter what I wear. It’s a shame that that simple fact has to be repeated over and over to the twisty gang.

(I think I’ll stop using ‘radfem’, too broad a brush, I’ve talked with some radical feminists in person and they were not anything like ginmar or twisty, besides I don’t think that the twisty gang are very radical anyway…more like reactionary.)

Criminy, that probably did sound condescending.
The only superiority I’m speaking from is one of age. I’ve watched three generations of women struggle with this question. It makes me sad to see another one.

Oh, but hold up…Ginmar’s hanging out with someone with as much bank as Twisty…yet she complains about Ren having a college degree??

Oh…and would it be so possible if they would make up their minds??? I mean, either men are responsible for their own actions when it comes to rape, or it’s all porn’s fault (even for the 99.998% of men who view porn who manage not to do any harm onto women at all)…can’t have it both ways, you know.

Orrrrrrrr….maybe if we all would get rid of all the push-up bras, thongs, midriff-baring blouses, hot pants, low-rider, but-hugging jeans, platform shoes, and all those other evil tools that incite the male lust to such out-of-control extremes, then maybe men would actually respect women more and not get those evil erections.

Yeah. Right.

This is the political getting just a bit too personal…..and vice versa.

Our personal is political. Their personal is just personal. Right, Belle?

Yeah, pretty bad. EEEeeeeyuuckk.

I just wanna know how one can enlist in patriarchal armies (obviously for the purpose of fighting patriarchal wars), and/or inherit patriarchal cowboy ranches from dad, and still consider oneself a super-duper, politically-correct radfem? HUH?

See, back in the day, the radical feminism -I- was part of in the 70s (that they think they are upholding so grandly)???? Two of the biggest mouths over there would have been unequivocally run out of MY feminist collective as running-dog imperialist lackey male-identified capitalist reactionaries (etc) for the aforementioned transgressions.

This bullshit posturing just proves how far removed they were from the real thing. Because, seriously, they wouldn’t even QUALIFY. Piffle!

And I haven’t even discussed all the foodie-ism and how bourgeois that is.

I’m just sayin.

oh, and I’m far more a mean girl than a pretty girl. I just think: if you’re going to be mean, it’s kind of weak to only direct it against people you think are safe targets, much less claim it’s in the name of some ffs Revolution.

and yes, I am just jealous. I’m about to start school again and move to my favorite city in the whole world, oh, and I have what I need from online in various ways, thanks; but what I really want is Twisty’s readership. this would make my life complete. because my own little commentariat would really benefit from a groundswell of people like Ashley and ginmar and…

I won’t hear any crap about “but we get insulted for the way we look all the time” -

frankly. Did -I- insult you for the way you look? No? Then, fuck off. Take it to the source, you coward.

I wish I had money like Twisty does (student loan debt and all – and NO, having money for that stuff is not a bad thing in today’s world; all you can do is you do what you must, as Bob Dylan said). But if I had a readership like Twisty, I’d fight the temptation to hang myself on my own stockings.
