Considering the Secret Service have had their budget blown pretty quickly each year by Trump’s golf trips that visit may go differently than you anticipate.

I was going to make a joke about Mrs Pence learning from Florence Harding (because Flo may’ve poisoned her husband) but decided the posible Secret Service visit wasn’t worth it.

You don’t understand Cannibal Witch. 

1) This is my favorite recurring post for the last couple years by far. Cannibal Witch/Waters 2020

This. It’s a satire of the goddamned gall of the Republican Party to proclaim that one of their highest-placed women signing an employment contract that includes open confirmation of women’s submission to men is actually a feminist achievement. And humorless libtard feminazis who refuse to celebrate this are the real…

I’m sorry, but until you recognize, publicly, that ogres were eating children for YEARS before witches and warlocks ever did, I can’t view this as anything other than cultural appropriation.

You don’t get it, though. You critiqued it as a satire on feminism in general, when it’s actually attacking a short-sighted flimsy application of “feminism”, not just in that Post article but any time it’s suggested we celebrate “strong women” like Gina Haspel and Megan Kelly for getting ahead in a man’s world while…

It is specifically a satire of something it seems you haven’t read:

I love Cannibal Witch because she pisses off the libtards. No, I don’t like her policy on rounding up all of our children to be eaten, but she owns the lib snowflakes so hard. They all cry and scream about their children being eaten, and I just laugh at their ridiculous faux outrage.

The context is provided in the article, you nimrod.

Why, though? They provide the context in the post. It’s clear what this is making fun of-beyond the fact that literally every Cannibal Witch post is a specific callout of some other idiotic thinkpiece. I’m struggling to see why this specific one is a Jezebel problem and not a you problem.

“I don’t get it” would’ve taken a lot less time to type.

Maybe I don’t agree with everything Cannibal Witch says or does, maybe I don’t agree with her personal choices, but I know that Cannibal Witch will get the job done and that’s what this country needs right now. Someone strong. An outsider. Someone who can influence politics with her magical skills, not with back-alley…

Right? And what blogger/journalist/English or Communications Major hasn’t heard of A Modest Proposal? Not the right audience for that lecture, especially since Cannibal Witch is almost certainly riffing off of Swift.

I mean, there’s a link to the article right in the middle of the post. And it’s in keeping with the standard Jez thing of being snarky about something that you probably haven’t heard about, in a way that is confusing out of context. Have you perhaps not been on Jezebel very long?

I think the issue is seeing it as a satire of feminism generally, instead of specifically being a satire of Alyssa Rosenberg’s editorial in the Washington Post which there is a link to in the middle of the article. 

I think it’s more of a mockery of the very common thinkpiece trope of trying to justify something widely considered terrible with the argument that it’s empowering just because at least one girl/woman does or likes it.

I read this not as satire of feminism but as satire of the Rosenberg Washington Post piece—that excusing an abhorrent position (child eating or anti-LGBTQ “morality clauses” in an employment contract) by saying “hey, but it’s great that a woman is doing something modern and non-traditional!” is ridiculous.

I’m not ready to take “funny” lessons from somebody writing a humorous-less 4 paragraph confused rant on a joke article.

Over 800 miles of Walls have been built in Europe since only 2015. They have all been recognized as close to 100% successful.
