this is the story of how a group of radical feminists concocted a story about taking over a facebook page, fooled the world and slandered (probably) innocent people along the way.

i posted today about the facebook page ‘bra-busters.’

one of the things that first endeared me to the page (before…

Now this is the sort of things rumors are made of.

Hey, Liz, I am the woman who originally took over the page. No fucking joke. I remember that conversation where you asked me multiple times if I wanted to create a police state in which women were forbidden to have sex. I distinctly recall saying no over and over again. But you kept asking, over and over again, if I wanted to forbid female sexuality.

You say we invented the story? That the page was never a sick page covered in porn? And you know this because…..? How again? There were a number of women present at the time the coup began. They watched us take down content and had seen the page before. Witnesses. Although when people fabricate lies out of their own heads, it’s a shame that people who were actually THERE have to bother denying.

You are a blatant liar and I am disgusted that you would spread such rumors. How very destructive and dishonest.

Open up your mind to the female voice….

Wow. Oppression. If a man said don’t read women literature concentrate on your fellow man for a while you’d be singing into the courtroom.

And right you would be to do so!

It’s not oppression- men, as a collective, aren’t being oppressed because a few women aren’t going to read book written by men.

Oppression doesn’t mean:

-hurt feelings

-a group of women aren’t going to read certain kinds of books

If women had political and social power, then maybe we’d be talking, but relative to men, we don’t, so I’m not sure what you are concerned about.

Hi Snowflake.

Please pick up Intercourse by Andrea Dworkin or Gyn/Ecology by Mary Daly. Give them a whirl and let me know if you still feel that way. If you want to, of course.

I’m curious what you’d think.

Also, “Loving to Survive” by Graham is another great one, but Dworkin or Daly are a walk on “the other side” in my experience with them.

Open up your…

First: a book written by a woman does not automatically equal female positive or feminist friendly. If we are going by that logic, 50 Shades of Grey (written by a woman, FYI) would be considered female positive. Secondly: I’ll read any author as I damn please, thank you very much. The content matters much more to me, than the gender of the author.

I said female views and ideas, not pro-feminist books. I won’t go anywhere near 50 Shades of Grey. But considering I was made to read: Plato, Aristotle, Rawls, Hobbs, Hume, Durkheim, Freud, London, Milton, Shakespeare, Donne, Jackson, Pope, Chaucer, Schopenhauer, Spinoza, Wilde, Nietzsche, Kafka, Voltaire, Chomsky….the list goes on and on and ON with male writers, all during university. I am happy to tell all men to wait while I catch up with what women have contributed all this time. Daly, Dworkin, Greer, Atwood, Frye, Johnson, Mead, Rich…etc.

I have spent most of my literary time in a male-centered reality, reading stories, poetry, and philosophy that emanated from a male’s perspective point. How has this effected my relationship with myself and other women? How has this effected my relationships with men? How has this effected the way I move in the world?

Really. Check your shelf. If you’re not reading more men than women, good for you. But when I checked my shelf, there were just a few books by women, such as Sappho and Teasdale, but no novels!

Since diving headlong into female-only reading, I am starting to feel shifts inside. My view of the world, myself, and my sisters is changing. Even female-written stories that are not “pro-female” show me part of the female psyche that doesn’t exactly love and honor herself. I still learn.

But no 50 Shades of Grey! Nevaaaar!!!!()$#*#@

:D

This little shithead protested on a campus with the sign “You deserve a rape” at an Arizona university. AND. No one stopped him. Because free speech.

Where are the radfems to exercise their free speech on such days?

Well, we can exercise it viral….

First of all, the original article is provided at the bottom of the original post. He did this on school campus.

Second, he was shouting at women that they deserve to be raped as they were walking by. He was “preaching” that women who look like whores are asking for it.

He’s a psychopath trolling a university and sexually harassing every woman who walks by with any skin showing. That is CLEARLY in violation of a sexual harassment law, which should be included in the code of student conduct.

Finally, you don’t think his sign incites anyone? That’s just you. Maybe ask some people who have been raped, such as myself. For a rape victim, seeing a man like this shouting those things could cause a panic attack and I nearly had a panic attack just reading the news article. If you don’t find this image with intent to incitement, then you are very lucky and I hope you’ll understand that not everyone is so lucky. Considering that the rape rate on college campuses is significantly higher than in the general population, without question, a number of rape survivors walked past that sign that day. Without question.

Please think of Amanda Todd and Rehtaeh Parsons for a moment, two women bullied to the point of suicide, and not by just one person, but by a culture that allowed various people to continually perpetuate this sort of behavior seen from Dean Saxton. Think of all the women who haven’t killed themselves, but struggle to keep their heads up and be a “survivor” not a “victim” every single day so as not to end up the next suicide victim after being violated at the deepest personal level. Then to walk past a sign like this. Try to see this from the perspective of all the women who have and will be raped in their lifetime. This little asshole is not JUST a little asshole. He is causing great emotional harm to other people, especially to women, who were his primary targets that day.
