I‘ll get to that thing in the headline in a second. But first: A Voice for Men’s Director of Lying Liars Janet Bloomfield has responded to my last post about her embattled tit pics — see here; the whole thing is too bizarre to explain briefly — by informing her readers that I was
failing to distinguish between pics sent to individual men privately as a means of manipulation and pics plastered over social media to make a broader point about feminist censorship and harassment.
AVFM’s flying monkey army has been making the same, er, argument in a series of highly original tweets:
So that’s where I went wrong.
But that’s not really what I want to talk about. What I want to talk about is this creepy as hell comment one of her fans left on her blog. (I’ve crossed out the name of the specific feminist being addressed.)
So, feminists, if you ever wake up not dead and wonder why you’re not dead, it’s apparently because men just love you so much.
I should add that the “statement” he is responding to — claiming that all men hate women — is not an actual statement by a feminist; it’s a statement Janet Bloomfield made up and attributed to a prominent feminist in an attempt to make her look bad.
ETHICS!
Wow, so if I want to manipulate my boss into giving me a raise, I should send a bewb pic? Want my annoying neighbor to stop playing his loud music, send a bewb pic? Let my ex know he should stop texting me, send a bewb pic? Got it! Thanks for the tip, JB.
Suffrajitsu, thanks for the Rejected Princesses link. I had not known about that.
Alan, not really a spider person myself, though I don’t mind them so long as they stay out of the house. They do have pretty webs, though. Sometimes I ‘collect’ the webs with spraypaint and construction paper.
@Bina:
Someone (I forget who, sorry) posted a link in an earlier thread to http://whenwomenrefuse.tumblr.com
So much sad. Plenty of horrific too but it left me feeling sad. I’d be interested to know how often this happens the other way around for comparison. Everything I know says a fraction.
@suffrajitsu:
Rejected Princesses – there’s so much awesome on there, thanks for linking!
Species intersectionality should be included when we can look at the display dance of a spider and understand the implications, not as well as a mammal’s but a reasonable hypothesis can be built concerning their intentions.

Alan Robertshaw.

Look at the lovely peacock spiders here. Warning of spider close ups and spider brain bleach for spider positive people!
