To the publishers of On Our Backs - we salute you!

Wimmin empowered = wimmin in control of their sexuality = wimmin free of patriarchal "norms".

Porn = Abu Ghraib. Thanks, New Victorian Feminists.

Oh, by the way, there are laws on the books that would have allowed for charges of sexual torture and other sex crimes against the Abu Ghraib guards if their victims were female. No such laws apply to male victims.

No such special protections apply to the male victims at Abu Ghraib, simply because they are men, and not afforded the extra legal protections that women are in this case.

The rise of porn in America is the result of female empowerment + the rejection of any limits placed on women's behavior. Just read the news, and it becomes self-evident that to point out any faults in a woman's behavior is to invite a criticism of sexism.

My bad for misunderstanding- thanks for the compliment!

You are, purportedly, aware of some mysterious passivity among the women in your class. You can't put your finger on it, you can't even really identify the depth or intensity of this odd feeling.

Therefore it must be real, and it must be the fault of "The Patriarchy".

Bring on the government programs and quotas - Feminist Passive Blob Syndrome must be overcome.

Here's the equivalent "logic" to your thinking: my 8th grade daughter ran for class president and won, against a mixed field of boys and girls. Therefore, you are wrong.

Emotionalism and lack of accountability are weaknesses of character. Try logic and taking responsibility for your own actions and you might feel like you have more agency in the world.

It will be hard to wean yourself away from blaming all of your problems on men, but it will yield better results.

Nice imaginative story, too bad there's no evidence for it. Isn't it nice to make up feminist stories?

BTW, the paper is here:

"BS, you're full of it as usual

Class of nursing students today- about 40 of us all very competitive- maybe 10 of those are guys. Now who do you think rose their hands to run for elected class officials? Yeah, that would be the men. Granted I'm only going for treasurer (so not a leader), but wanna place bets which sex wins VP and P and which other sex gets secretary? huh? huh? ;>"

Were the men preventing the women from raising their hands?

Should your school impose quotas on class elections because the poor females can't handle competition on their own?

Ridiculous and infantilizing at the same time, hyblaean. Pathetic.

Confirmation bias, as evidenced by the comments of some of the feminist posters.

I know those mean, nasty civil rights thingies are just patriarchal chains, trying to keep teh wimmin down.

Due process - a foreign concept to feminists across America.

Celebrate the embodiment of empowerment that is Pussy Galore.

Sistah!

"Is everyone lying, do you think? No one has ever been raped? It's just mass hysteria? media propaganda by the feminist movement?"

You're nuts. So is your basement-dwelling friend.

She also worked hard to punish men who attacked and raped her.

Another upstanding FemCitizen.

Your encouraging behavior improves civic orderliness and State control of miscreants in the population.

Because of you, a dangerous criminal is behind bars, his life destroyed.

Our Leader approves.

The Vagina Monologues contains a scene where a 13 year old girl talks about her rape by an older lesbian, aged 24. In the original text, she calls it a "good rape".

Consistent with feminist thinking, that rape/pedophilia was glossed over in the play, in comparison to the strong, blanket anti-male sentiment expressed regarding male-female rapes referred to in the play.

That scene was excised in later versions of the play for reasons obvious to almost everybody but the playwright.

"you are not remotely hot/smart/rich/powerful enough to intimidate me into thinking I want you to have sex with me"

We've already determined what you are - we are just haggling over the price.

Keep making "the rules" and enjoy your shriveled, barren forties.

Absolutely right about the nuclear family being the fundamental unit of society.

Now that it is optional and feminist social engineering rules the day, though, it's too late for the US.

I have absolutely nothing against gay marriage.

Why can't the CA legislature craft a marriage license that reflect inclusion rather than rejection of traditional heterosexual marriage?

It's a goddamn form. Just change the wording - it's irrelevant to the degree the state gets up your ass once you sign it. Why can't people call themselves what they want?

Wife/wife, husband/husband, husband/wife, whatever.

Oh, and if you want to grant legal rights to each other, as you would if marriage were privatized, you wouldn't need the state involved. Rights being granted is only a state issue if you want the government in your bedroom, bank account, parenting schedule, etc.

Why is wanting to be called bride and groom anti-gay? The poster above was right - change to form to include all possibilities.

Sad that so many Broadsheeters don't want to embrace diversity.

Who said they're anti-gay. Why should the government dictate what they are called?

rimbaud is right - why is the government involved in marriage at all? Gays asking for more government in their lives in California, while complaining about the government in their bedrooms in Texas. Bizarre.

So true, and so scary.....

and misandrist feminists trying to define how men should act.

Fuck you.

Kill Bitch. It's time has come and gone. Put it in the grave next to Andrea Dworkin, another dinosaur who has thankfully passed on.

Thank you for yet another craven, hair-splitting submissive post.
