The SlutWalks have not just driven many MRAs to distraction; they’ve also driven one of the bloggers at the Gates of Vienna to set aside her usual Islam-bashing for a few moments to take on the awful bullies marching in the SlutWalks. Yes, bullies, for how else can we describe young women who go out of their way to highlight their foul sexiness whilst denying their bodies to the helpless males who happen to catch sight of them?
According to the blogger who calls herself Dymphna:
Women who walk around in slutty clothing in order to “voice” their opinion about male sexual aggression are indeed acting out a hugely immature power trip. … Call it for what it is. Strutting your stuff and daring anyone to stop you isn’t real freedom. It’s a sneaking, sadistic bully-girl game.
So evil is the behavior of these slutbullies that if any man decides, upon catching sight of one of them, to grope or otherwise assault her, well, she’s at least as much to blame as the dude who lays his hands on her.
If the act of strutting your stuff results in an equal reaction, a girl must take at least half the responsibility for whatever transpires as a result.
Dymphna seems to mean this quite literally, suggesting that a slut who gets assaulted should be charged
as an accessory before the fact — i.e., if some dolt grabs her, then at the very least she is his partner in crime. And the offense in which they both participate is a serious transgression against civil order. Sadistic provocation is a breach of the peace.
Ironically, Dymphna the blogger has apparently named herself after Saint Dymphna, a 7th century Irishwoman who, legend has it, was murdered by her father after she refused to marry him.
In the light of Dymphna the blogger’s airtight logic, we have to wonder if Saint Dymphna was wearing something really, really slutty. I mean, what else could have inspired her father’s foul desires?
One time I was Mercutio. I suppose that means I’ve been dead all this time, and never noticed.
Yes, but does the sun make vampires burn or just make their skin sparkle? I’m so confused!
Both? Or, according to Daybreakers, it cures them of vampirism.
Oh, NWO. Stay stupid.
Well, I haven’t performed it on stage (yet…my day will come!) but I do know the part of Lulu from Berg’s eponymous opera. So I guess that makes me a murderous femme fatale?
Also, because no one else posted it yet, a list of causes of the fall of the Roman Empire:

My personal favourites are, of course, lethargy, hypothermia, and vulgarization.
Sometimes I think NWO is the greatest piece of performance art ever created.
I’ve been both Romeo, and Iago. Heck, over the years of various activity in theater I’ve played, Noah, God, Mordred, a whole lot of “chorus” parts, Mr. Jordan, Clarence Darrow, and stuff no one who wasn’t into theater has probably never heard of (e.g. David Crampton in “Mornings at Seven, and the male lead in “The Gin Game (his name escapes me now).
“Heck, over the years of various activity in theater I’ve played… God…”
No one here is surprised. 😉
But only NWO can play NWO. Or maybe Ami can.
Also, Pecunium would be a damn scary Iago. > >
I once played Mrs Muffstench, you know, from The Pickwick Papers.
/lie
I remember reciting the To be or not to be soliloquy for an English class in high school. Clearly, I plan on killing my uncle.
Ami can play everybody >_> And she MIGHT BE alrdy! o:
ORION – Fabulous! That was my role too! I had a terrible allergic reaction to the makeup! But after that got sorted out, I loved it. Clearly, we must team up and do whatever it was this role makes us!
I want to note that this comes hot on the heels of NWO saying the myth of Orpheus is historical proof that roving gangs of lesbians murdered men in ancient Greece. Now I want to send him a copy of Arsenic and Old Lace, just to see what his amazing brain would make of it.
Oh, and I was in a high-school production of M*A*S*H*, which means I’ve now seen more combat duty than NWO.

“NWO is the perfect example though I wince at using the word “naked” in the same sentence as his name. He comes here and insults us. That’s aggression. He’s not interested in communicating or in trying to change any minds”
I come here to mock the mockers, except when I mock it’s an insult when you mock it’s so righteous. In order to “change” a persons mind about something that person needs an open mind, which feminism doesn’t permit.

“You probably don’t even realize that there are deep divisions and conflicts in feminist discussions”
The only division of feminism is the conflict of women deciding wether men should act like x or y in a given situation. Reguardless, it’s women dictating mens actions according to their needs/desires.
————————————–
“Misogynists are not afraid to say that feminism is incorrect/unnecessary/evil/fill in the blank, NWO!”
Any disagreement with a feminist, and by extension any woman equals misogyny. That’s quite a perk when any disgreement equals hatred of women. did you have a hand in writing VAWA?

“Rapists are not shadowy figures cloaked in shadows. They are not a separate species of human and many of them are not “unhinged.” SlutWalk attempts to bring awareness to these facts and to protest the current attitudes about rape.”
Yes they are shadowy figures. Just because women cry rape when they cheat, or get pregnant or want an excuse or attention or whatever reason, doesn’t make it so. Just because men get punished because women lie. How’s that saying go? Only men can stop sexual assaults. Well, only women can stop false accusations. Ya gotta acknowlege they take place first though.

“NWO: More than one reason, dipshit. Women getting uppity weren’t the sole cause of the collapse of the western Roman empire.”
The main social reason would be a reasonable guess, just like today. Funny that saying about history repeating itself.

@Nobinayamu
“And -and!- prove that rape is caused by sexual arousal and frustration. Should be simple enough.”
What other reason could there be for committing a crime as severe as rape other than severe sexual frustration/dysfunction caused by? Boredom? Fatigue? Lack of sleep? Poor diet? Athletes foot?

“In Rome and Greece, they were propaganda tools, used to keep women in line. They are, in fact, exactly what you’re doing:”
The irrevocably indoctrinated enlightening me about propaganda. No doubt the answer is more feminism.

@Pecunium
“She is in control of how she displays her sexuality, and (if she doesn’t touch people who don’t want to be touched, and takes no for an answer when she makes an offer of sexual interaction) she is in control of what sexual contacts she has with people”
Than if a man shows young girls entering puberty his package he is in control of his sexuality as well. If that causes girls to grow up sexually disfunctional that’s their problem. If he calls all women scanks, hey baby nice ass you wanna fuck, ya know what fucking is little girl that’s alright as well, if it affect women that’s their problem. He never touched them.

That’s an uncomfortably specific set of phrases.
Hey NWO!
Describe, or show us a picture of, a woman who is not a slut!
Show us a woman who is controlling her sexuality appropriately and dressing and acting in a way that treats men with respect. Surely you can at least imagine one, right?
Seconding Holly’s request. I will also accept half recollected dramatic presentations as evidence in this particular matter!
Wow NWO IS PISSED XDDD
And trying his BEST to ignore his giant ignorant play gaffe xDDD
“DON’T NOTICE WHAT I JUST F-ED UP HUGE ABOUT!” xD
Wait, heels are a feminist thing now?
Heels are a really complicated subject in feminist thought, and you’re not even at the “women are people” stage yet. I think we should leave that topic until later.
Plays? Who said we were talking about plays?
Please, Ami, we’re discussing Christina Hendricks in the other thread. Try to stay on topic.
But it’s more fun this way! xD
xOOOOOOOO
(what actress is that? O: )
