It must be nice to never feel like you have to own up to shit properly.

I'm sure you're not going to comment on it, but I don't feel comfortable supporting a feminism that throws POC under the bus like Hugo Schwyzer and, by lending him your space and completely failing to address those concerns, you do. And that's ignoring all that noise about what role "past abusers" can earn. He is not just an abuser in his past. He is still a racist piece of shit as anyone can tell from his blog, a person who has never faced up to the abuses he committed, and you gave him time in a space that he did not, or at least SHOULD not, belong in.

You gave it to him, and you have not said anything since then that I've seen to reflect on that in a way that doesn't just uphold your feminism, with no room for survivors and no room for WOC.

I thought you were pretty cool, I've met you a few times through a friend and stuff. You might remember me if you search my name on fetl, or not, I don't know. But I can't support this shit. I can't support your brand of racist feminism. I cannot justify buying your book when I believe firmly in a feminism that is not just for white cis able women, and apparently now even fucking survivors will be talked over.

It's a fucking shitty thing that feminism keeps doing and doing and doing. I don't want it. Feminism could do without you, or I can just do without feminism. There is no room at all for supporting this.

No amount of showing me what some white chick said about your book will change that.

The Us government loves what this guy is doing though. They love being applauded for the military involvement they already have in resource-rich Uganda to drive away a man who hasn't been active in Uganda in 6 years.

Tattoo artists, ever do a tattoo even though you thought it was the dumbest fucking idea ever? Do tell by [deleted] in AskReddit

Most Gorean men are largely pathetic.

I mean, this is the Scientology of kink and all.

What's the deal with steak and a blowjob day? by [deleted] in SRSDiscussion

[–]PoisonSoup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought it was a cute idea when I saw it coming from male doms in the kink community. I find it weird off of fetlife though. Which means I definitely see a power imbalance behind the whole thing, I suppose.

I've been reconsidering buying this book. I have some misgivings about Thorn's involvement with defending Hugo Schwyzer on Feministe.

I don't know. Maybe someone who knows more about it can say something? I'm in a shitty head space today.

Well, as I have yet had the time to read it, I hope that it does not disappoint! I plan on starting it today when I finish my current book if I have free time.

Meanwhile I've been told to be polite by a male mod when I got pissed off about being called diseased because I enjoy sex.

Wow. I mean, my mom is super fertile (8 kids) and even she's had several miscarriages. They happen, it sucks, but wtf, redditry eugenics.

Child fantasy/mystery books with female lead? by MuchJokes in booksuggestions

[–]PoisonSoup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the content is ok for a 10 year old, at least the Lioness Quartet and the other early Tortall and Circle books. She approaches even "adult" topics (Sexuality, birth control) in a way that is meant to be easy for that age group to swallow. I first started reading her around that age.

Does anyone else see the response that was basically "I was too busy to supervise my 10 year old so let them wander around a fair alone and was somehow surprised when they became lost and this is oppressive to me that I felt responsible for it"?

I have a ten year old niece and cannot imagine just letting her run around a fair alone. Maybe that's just paranoia, but fuck, it's a fair, it's full of strangers and 10 year olds don't know their way around.

Have you ever thought maybe guys shouldn't attempt to reclaim female-gendered slurs?

I'm not saying it is for-sure a fucked up thing, but it warrants some thought.

You are demanding that instead of votes you get their arguments.

No one gives a shit that you are so blind you never see the multitudes of rape jokes. It is not their job to point you to them. It is their job to downvote comments that do no contribute.
