You are a sexual predator. Your non-apology on the subject was pretty bloody telling. The fact that you have the gall to continue linking feminist sites after your release is – while certainly not surprising – plain gross. You obviously want to make this issue go away; it’s not going to happen.
Were I back to being nineteen years old, in college and discovering the world of feminist blogging, I’d most likely have no idea as to who you actually are. Which is why I don’t want any women coming along and being fooled by you.
I agree with Hugo Schwyzer when he says:
“Take a few penitential years in the wilderness for reflection, dude, and even then, don’t claim the mantle of a feminist blogger. That horse done left the barn.”
If you felt a tiny bit guilty about what you did, you would not be putting on this icky little farce. As much as I hate to give you the attention that you obviously crave, I’ve got no choice. People, women especially, need to be warned about your creep-tastic ways.
So if you’re reading this, guys and gals, stay AWAY from “feminist blogger” Kyle Payne. Break out the garlic and wooden stake if he links to you.
P.S. What she said.
Ugh. The internet is full of creeps, but this one goes the extra-extra mile.
Great comment (as always!)
Kyle Payne should not be allowed to get away with this stuff.
fyi, blogged about it here.
googlebombing this bastard would be good.
Thanks for linking me. I’m glad you liked what I had to say.
And I’m glad this is something that many diverse voices in the feminist blogosphere can agree on–this dude’s a creep and he shouldn’t be associated with any of us.
I put a permanent “alert” link in the sidebar so that even when this renewed flurry of interest dies down, any passerby might see it.
Natalia, I missed this whole episode, and am now glad I did. Good for you for calling out how the nuances of narcissism can lead to this level of death of self-deception.
(skip ‘death of’)
Has anyone noticed that KP links to the Iowa GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC Union? CREEPY. Anybody know someone in Iowa?
Payne totally reminds me of a guy I knew in college – went to a lot of anti-rape protests, oh, and also blatantly groped a woman I knew at a concert. I’m sure there was even more sleaziness to him, we just never found out about it because he was so good at covering his tracks.
People like that usually are.
