Feminist Link Love

The always incredible Twisty Faster has an especially incredible post up called South Dakota and Libya: Blood Brothers in Misogyny:

. . . Rape isn't just a subset of unrelated incidents perpetrated by a fringe contingent of sickos. It is, as Susan Brownmilller asserted, "a conscious process by which all men keep all women in a state of fear."

If you are a man, and you don't rape women, well, goody for you, but if you email me with some inane vituperation about how your personal noble restraint invalidates Brownmiller's statement, you will only embarrass yourself. No matter what kind of man you are, you benefit in a thousand different ways from the violent sexualization of women's subordination. Actual rapists have got the initial shock and awe covered, but they're only the infantry; it's up to the rest of you to finish the job.

You do this by demonizing feminists, by renting women for lap dances, by letting rapists off the hook in court, by buying cheap crap Victoria's Secret thongs for your woman, by congratulating your girlfriend on her boob job, by ignoring mass rapes in Rwanda, by passing along the URL to Paris Hilton's fuck video, by ogling that girl at the bus stop, by letting your mom do your laundry, by "giving away" a bride, by voting control of women's uteruses over to godbag politicians, by pressuring your girlfriend to take it up the ass because all your friends are doin' it, by having an opinion on the size of human labia, by arguing that stripping is "empowering," by claiming you're "hardwired" to be turned on by women who emulate the ludicrous fashion practices of strippers and centerfolds, by your inability to conceive of sex without dominance, and by refusing, despite 30 years of intelligent, educated women telling you otherwise, to concede that you don't really, truly view women as human beings in anything approaching the same light in which you view yourself.

Go read the rest at at I Blame the Patriarchy! When you are done, you can go cast your vote for Twisty in the Koufax Awards, where she's nominated in nearly every category.

Wow! That's rough, and funny, and I agree.

But somehow I don't think that kind of message gets through to men. I think it serves as a rally cry for women, a signal for them to wake the fuck up and realize that the work of feminists is far from over, but I don't think any man would listen to that and go, "Hmmm... she's right! I'll go home right now and delete all my porn and stop liking boob jobs."

This abortion issue is really upsetting.

And forget Victoria's Secret. Have you been in Express lately? All the pictures on the wall contain groups of gorgeous women giving lap dances and taking off ONE guy's clothes. It's a total male fantasy. Sure, the women LOOK empowered, but it's an illusion. It's a form of empowerment that still serves the needs of men.
