Perhaps I should try clicking links in my e-mails when I receive them instead of six months later. ‘Pecked to death by ducks’? ‘Haunted by Evil Clowns’? Pure. Comedy. Gold. Love the Shakespeare too. You could also have had ‘Devoured by Owls’ and ‘The Objectified, Objecting’.

Hi ND, and welcome to my neck of the woods. I’m sorry if I came off as a giant asshole here. For what it’s worth, it wasn’t my intention. From what I have read of your blog it did strike me as… very intense, especially in relation to gender issues and feminism (I usually make the opposite impression on people – as a very frivolous sort of person). The fact that I disagree with you on some things has inevitably coloured that impression. Obviously, I think that Rage Against the Man-chine is a pretty good blog name – and it’s funny too.

I can’t believe you think I am Always. Dead. Serious. I spend a lot of time being totally un-serious on my blog, so that kind of bums me out. The name of my blog is one giant joke, in any case. I’ve spent the last ten years making fun of people who are overly angsty by referring to their raging against this or that as I think fans of Rage Against the Machine and the band itself are kind of funny. As such, when I spoke to my best friend about what I ought to name my blog, he suggested Rage Against the Man-chine, which we both thought was hilarious. I knew no one would get it.

Laydeez,

If radfem blogs had titles like this I’d actually visit ‘em.

Oh wow! I didn’t know this thread was still going strong. Lots of good ones here too. I can’t wait for part 2!

I think Natalia is on to something regarding decriminalization and trafficking. Law enforcement is less likely to look at trafficked women as victims for one thing, so it’s like they treat both the traffickers and the trafficked as criminals at worst, and like Natalia said, at best they are seen as stupid women who knowingly went into sex work but got “a bad boss”, little to no sympathy. Decriminalization means the work itself isn’t criminal, what’s being done to them is the focus.
