No exag

I’m sure people who don’t read as widely as I do think I’m exaggerrating when I discuss how Fat Acceptance nutjobs believe it is oppression if people aren’t attracted to them. But it’s real.

“If you think you have the right to choose one body type over another.”

I have the right to date whomever I please, for whatever reason I please. And not only for attraction (I’m not attracted to fat women at all, just to be clear), but you know what? I can hike 10 miles with no training and feel like a million bucks at the end. Think some 300 pound woman can keep up with me on that, like my partner can? Of fucking course not. Then I won’t date you for yet another reason. Deal.

The rest of the post is too delusional to even quote. I don’t feel like typing that bullshit. Just read it. But does she realize though that if it is oppression to say “no” to a person’s sexual advances, that’s rape-promoting and no different than MRA “logic” about how women owe them sex.

Someone needs to deport this rape-culture-promoting, crack-smoking sorry excuse for humanity so hard she lands on the fucking Moon. I don’t care if she’s an American citizen. Get the deportation cannon ready. But it’s gonna need a lot of gunpowder.

Girls and boys

If the amount of time that pseudo-feminists spent arguing over whether “girl” or “woman” was appropriate and in which situations could be somehow directed at useful pursuits, a lot more progress could be made on actual feminism.

Arguing over words is mostly a distraction, and a useful one to patriarchy and to the powerful.

This despite the fact that it’s also really, really common to use “boys” to refer to adult men. And many adult men use “woman” as an insult. Should we ban that word, too?

Such a non-issue about something completely irrelevant. Banning words does absolutely nothing. Changing culture does.

Salivation salvation

If Metro style crapplications that are 100x slower to use and have all useful features removed are the future, I’m going to do like Mulder and Scully and fight the future.

It might make the droolers 20% more productive, but makes me completely unproductive.

And I frankly don’t give a shit about the droolers.

Not a ninny

A woman at work was surprised that I know who Tori Amos and Anaรฏs Nin are, and was shocked that I had listened to Tori extensively and read Nin (when I was 12).

I don’t like “girl stuff.” I like good stuff. That most men are too fucking poisoned by masculinity to not recognize quality when it’s right in front of them is why I don’t generally associate with men.
