It's not about "liking." It's about what's good for our gender and our species. Women are born into subjugation, it is all we know, so naturally some are going to conflate condition with drive and desire – that is what fetishes are, crossed wires in the brain.

LÖL. Right to the ad hominem attack. Another true feminist in arms, I see. Emma Goldman and Sojourner Truth are lashing their bones in their graves, anguished over your death-defying logic and turns of phrase.
Yeah, no, I don't need to be threatened to "tread lightly" by someone who repeatedly makes us all suffer through proclamations about their violent rape fantasies. I think I still have a screen grab somewhere of the post about "enjoying" the plague of rape gifs. No thanks.
Well you have raised exactly the right/wrong example with Ron Paul. And it's insulting to Dworkin / MacKinnon to raise him as a straw man here. For one thing, he is a doctor (like a medical doctor, not a PhD), and unqualified to manifest as an expert on economics. For another, he is clearly on the side of evil,…
Yes, I agree, though "flame wars" is archaic terminology in this setting.
Yes, exactly. Jezebel is a troll site. It is presenting a case study as it were in an elaborate fashion, purporting to hold one point of view while not so clandestinely supporting another agenda. This in turn attracts comments from some people who respond at face value and others who see through the ruse and point…
No, no one at Jezebel does. If I tried to get a job there I never could for this aspect of my belief system alone.
What seems apt?
A feminist and totally 100 percent agree. You are wasting your time on Jezebel though, which has thoroughly revealed itself as a troll site for women, the Manchurian Candidate of feminism. Nick Denton's recent series of interviews in which he reveals his anti-choice views is just the icing.
Because of course anyone who disagrees with you on the Internet is immediately a troll and deserving of name calling at the very first enagement...
Toeing the party line already I see.
I used to be an entertainment reporter so I got to meet a lot of celebrities. The best time I had was on a "party yacht" with Sasha & Digweed as the DJs and Perry Farrell and Trent Reznor among the guests. Pretty experienced partiers all of us and thus nothing untoward besides the expected partying happened. Perry…
He has clearly said that if he had the ability to do so irl, he would. This is an essay about anti-choice zealots, not any sort of direct action...you realize there's a distinction, right? I mean no one from Jezebel or Gawker even attended or covered the anti police brutality rallies that took place right outside…
Agreed. TS could get a much better gig on the basis of the "Smarm" essay alone so I don't know why he doesn't. Not anything to do with this but does your name refer to the place in FL?
You realize that Nick Denton is anti-choice, right? I'm surprised Jezebel even ran this post. That's the Spectacle, I guess.
I would love it if the readers of and writers for Jezebel began calling out the anti-choice proprieter of this web cluster, Nick Denton.
Um, there are a lot of people from the Netherlands and Germany in NYC. You know that the city orignally had a Dutch name, and that many local geographies are still Dutch derivatives, right? There is a significant representation in the entire U.S. for that matter of people from Northern Europe.
St. Pauli Girl beer is from the Netherlands. If you're talking about Bavaria, we have Tracht and Dirndl, which people actually wear all the time during Wiesn, and in the Tirol, all the time.
The battle at Carthage (Troy) was real, not a myth. The "thousand ships" refers literally to the vessels that sailed to recover the runaway Helen and punish Paris, the Trojans, etc. This line appears in Ovid among others. Also that drawing, with the woman with short hair and the cap of knowledge, is derived from…
Honestly, I'm starting to suspect that the people who participated in this poll were people over 50 who have little-to-no exposure to the internet, aka my mother.
