Dear Jezebel,
Posted on 05:34 by Unknown
I regret to inform you that we can no longer be friends. I've stuck it out through victim-blaming, poorly researched twaddle like this because, occasionally, you have moments of sheer Feminist brilliance. Unfortunately, your obsession with remaining the Official Handmaiden Cheerleading Squad has become too much for me to bear. I simply can not forgive you for writing this bullshit. The total lack of understanding of rape culture, the blaming of women for feeling denigrated when their partners treat them like fucktoys, and blaming Feminism for women wanting to have good sex on their own terms is so utterly misogynistic that I can no longer waste my time on you. Not when there are women writing about having good sex on their own terms with partners who respect them [regardless of whether or not they are in relationships or just one-night stands].
Yours sincerely,
Stewie
P.S I think you'll find that it was Feminists who started the campaign for women to have healthy sexual relationships and not ones based on the male orgasm. It was Feminists who changed the language of consent so that men no longer have the legal right to rape their wives. It was Feminists who examined the power dynamics of heteronormativity, PIV, pornography, rape culture and personal sexual desire. To suggest otherwise demonstrates some piss-poor research and critical thinking skills.
P.P.S Using disablist terms like retardation constitutes hate speech. You might want to run that past your editorial team to prevent further booboos.
P.P.P.S That bit about sticking your finger in your partners anus without consent is, well, sexualised violence [or rape if you don't live in England/Wales where the legal definition of rape requires the insertion of a penis without consent].
