I think he’s just pissed off that women won’t sleep with him

So this seething mass of misognynistic fail found it’s way into the comments section of this post a few days ago. Is it any surprised that a man sent this too me?

Henry Rollins Sums Up My Thoughts On The Steubenville Rape Verdit

I was going to do a post on the Steubenville rape verdit but this post by the great Henry Rollins himself pretty much sums up my thoughts on the matter.

Keep your politics out of my sexuality

I’m tweeting on Twitter as one does watching the feminist debates and radfem stupidity when I come across this article by Cathy Brennan. Cathy is a political lesbian (whatever the fuck that means) who seems to have some issues with other lesbians.

The Real Truth About Beauty

There’s nothing I love/hate more than a shitty article that at first glance looks like it has some intelligent content with a decent ability to apply to the real world but on closer inspection you realise it has the same level of intelligence as a box of hair. I love it because they are easy to mock but I hate it because dildos-for-brains writers are writing this crap *and* getting it published. Thus continues the cycle of misinformed masses.

For Him Magazine: Failing young men since 1985

A while back I did a review on the pile of fail that is Cosmopolitan Magazine. The general consensus on the magazine was that not only were the editors and writers completely out of their mind but the magazine is as damaging to women as it is to men. The magazine has this horrifying issue of teaching young women that their role in life is to find a man, keep a man, please their man and stroke his ego and make him feel manly. It also has this horrifying issue of teaching young men that they should be nothing more than sex crazed emotionless robots whose egos are so fragile that they need a woman to stroke it at every opportunity so they feel like a man least they fall apart in a crying heap.

Internet courage and a simple recapping of ideas

11320_340

I don’t find it very surprising that I haven’t gotten any backlash on my blog for my articles “Radical feminism is a danger to women“, “Feminism needs to include men to obtain equality for all” and “Queer hypocrisy: the angriest of them all“. It is quite evident that people are rarely brave in real life when it comes to standing up for what they believe in or standing by their viewpoints so they turn to the internet.  How many people have you met that have said something homophobic only to retract it with cries of  “That’s not what I meant!” two seconds after they get called out on it? Courage behind a computer monitor.  Well I’m going to expand on that theory.

People are only brave on the internet when it is away from the original source they are bitching about.

Radical feminism is a danger to women

11320_340

I’ve met some hypocrites in my time. We all know how I feel about hypocrites, especially those within the queer community and those who claim moral superiority over others. Women who call themselves prolife and advocate to make abortion illegal while at the same time get abortions themselves annoy me. But by far the most infuriating, ignorant, hypocritical community I have ever come across is the radical feminist community.

An elaboration on “If you really were prolife”

prochoice

I’ve decided to elaborate on my post “If you really were prolife” because I’ve come to realise that a lot of prolife people won’t understand the post because according to prolife practices: if you’re in the womb, you’re fine but once you’re out we don’t care. Or as George Carlin says “If you’re preborn, you’re find. If you’re preschool, you’re fucked”. The only things prolifers care about is forcing women to give birth by limiting their choices and banning birth control.

If you really were prolife

I’ve been thinking about the hypocrisy that is the prolife movement a lot lately, enough to write this blog on it because we all know prolifers are antiwomen.

Today I’d like to list (with your help, dear readers) ways in which prolifers can actually be prolife.

Feminism needs to include men to obtain equality for all

“Feminism will make it possible for the first time for men to be free.” – Michael Kimmel
I’ve written a few posts in the past calling for re-evaluation of the feminist movements action plan (posts here) because the way they are going about getting to their goals isn’t working.

Cosmocking – intolerance style!

cosmopolitan-cover-121412-600x450

Hello readers! Today I thought I would do a little experiment and see what the magazine Cosmo was all about. And by “see what it was all about” I mean mock the fuck out of it. The original concept can be found over at The Pervocracy, where the lovely folks take a Cosmo and do a review on its contents. Intrigued by the idea, I thought I’d try my hand at doing the same and since Cosmo is largely centered on heterosexual women – this queer was going to give it her darndest shot at faking straight in the name of science. Wish me luck in learning about what the straight woman read.

Abortions are okay, even if the fetus is gay and why the gay gene is laughable

This article in Gay Star News.com presents a case for scientists thinking they’ve found the reason behind homosexuality in humans.

For years scientists have been attempting to find the “gay gene”, the so-called cause of homosexuality in humans that bigots latched onto as a justification for their bigotry (apart from the “choice” argument). If there is a gay gene then being gay is a genetic deformity apparently (sarcasm).

Fortunately this study is pretty fail. Science doesn’t always win.

Why is being called a slut bad?

slut

Slut shames women for saying yes.
Friendzone shames women for saying no.
Bitch shames womens for saying no to you.

Slut: A person of any gender who has the courage to lead life according to the radical proposition that sex is nice and pleasure is good for you – Dossie Easton.

It is funny when people call me a slut as if they think it’s an insult.

Ha!

What a compliment.

Lilandra from Ace of Clades recently posted this blog entry about a feminist pro-lifer. The pro-life feminist in question posted this article entitled “3 things we need more of (if we’re going to end abortion)”.

1) Pro-life feminists

2) Pro-life doctors and

3) Premarital chastity

What the fuck??

Exactly why do we need more people advocating for the disempowerment of women and policing not only our reproductive rights but also our right to get down and dirty whenever we want?

Beauty standards need not apply

If you don’t know me very well, you need to know one thing:

I don’t give a flying fuck about the beauty standard.

This revelation goes hand in hand with my previous post on my opinions of the imposing opinions of others. Fuck that noise.

Today’s post stems from a conversation that was had last night while bleaching my hair. I’m currently going from black hair to pink so bleaching is needed. I sorely miss having more noticeable unnaturally coloured hair on a daily basis. So bleaching is required. The conversation was had that I needed more than one bleaching session over a span of a few days to completely remove all the black. Fair call. I said it was fine to do one bleach after another because my hair doesn’t generally react too badly to multiple bleaches in a short period. The point was made that if I didn’t bleach over a period of days, my hair would get brittle, thin and fall out due to the fact I’m not 17 anymore with a thick set of hair.

What’s your point?
