When I did that meme that Molly Ball was not Amanda Marcotte (despite the cats), Bob BelvedereAdoran [my bad*] warned that the jury was out on Molly.

Well the verdict came in and Ms. Ball definitely in the bag for the Establishment! And that would be the media establishment. Because one establishment scratches the back of another (in this case the GOP).

*although I am sure Bob is simpatico with him…at least on the warning about Molly Ball. They may be a wee bit in disagreement over the #MSSen

The title "Femifest" just made me laugh.

You have to read a lot of Third Wave feminism to understand the difference between sex and "gender" in the context they intend it.

By "context," of course, I mean insanity.

Evi L. Bloggerlady • 9 years ago

Are there cats involved?

M. Thompson • 9 years ago

I don't think so. Cats are an indicator, not a cause for feminist insanity.

Evi L. Bloggerlady • 9 years ago

Unless of course there is advanced toxioplasmosis (cue Ted Nugent and Cat Scratch Fever)

I had the same question. In addition, does understanding this paradox also require the copious consumption of mind-altering substances?

Our esteemed quoted:

We are gender abolitionists who have been raised and socialized as girls and women because of our female bodies in the context of a male supremacist social system.

Which is exactly what I have been saying about sickos like Bradley Manning: all of his life experiences have been as a male, because he is male, and just castrating him and giving him fake boobs will not and cannot change that.

Evi L. Bloggerlady • 9 years ago

This is nothing new. The Emperor Nero tried this after he beat his real wife to death. He had a male slave he thought resembled her castrated and they created a vagina for him (without anethesia) and he treated him as his "wife" thereafter. Generally following Nero's example on anything should be a warning you are going down the wrong path...

Dana • 9 years ago

Really? And this slave actually survived such a procedure, in the first century?

Evi L. Bloggerlady • 9 years ago

Yes. Crazy, isn't it. I am sure it was crude and not at all like what plastic surgeons do today. Of course, it cost a hell of a lot less too.

You have to be a bit skeptical of stuff like that. Many of those stories were written about emperors for political reasons, and generally decades after they were gone. For example, the myth that Caligula murdered his own father by poison (at the age of eight, no less) is probably a blatant lie.

For all the leftists claim they respect women more than conservatives do, I've never had to explain to a conservative why female biology and upbringing are an important, formative part of being a woman. Let alone been yelled at or called horrible names by a conservative for insisting as much.

Another good one. Sorry, but the first thing that popped into my head when I saw that was, Carnac.

kilo6 • 9 years ago

Well now, my response is a dud in comparison.

I miss Carson especially in light of the overt political hackery of the newer so-called replacements on late night tee vee.

I can't forget how Carnac responded to a heckler one night ... "may your sister wake up in an adult motel with E.T."

Thanks for this one Kirby!

Kirby McCain • 9 years ago

Carson had a profound respect for his place in entertainment. After his retirement he gave an interview and revealed that he was pro choice. He went on to say that he felt that those sorts of things weren't appropriate for his show. Jay seemed to understand that and that's probably why he got the job over Letterman. And let's face it, CBS is perfect for Dave.

Inevitably, I suppose, there are the males who possess the standard male equipment, yet will never, ever be men, IYKWIMAITYD.

Guest • 9 years ago

As there are females each of whom, despite having all the right equipment, will never be a woman. (a womyn maybe but never a real woman)

Finrod Felagund • 9 years ago

You're all going to hate me for telling you this (some things cannot be unlearned), but males trying to pass as females are often called 'gurls' and females trying to pass as males are often called 'bois'.

Yes, I hate that terminology as much as you.

T.W. Shannon may have received endorsements of Freedom Works, Sarah Palin and Ted Cruz, but what Miss Ball failed to note is that Shannon was supported by a galaxy of democrats as well as liberal republicans. No one in Oklahoma thought those endorsements were carefully considered; I certainly didn't think so. Those endorsements were all head scratchers, endorsing a politician with such little experience.

So when the head of the PAC which was the first in line to give Shannon money was busted for drug possession, a pattern emerged that those endorsements were poorly considered. Despite the star power of all those endorsements, they couldn't hide the stink, and so Shannon went down harder than an Obamacare website.

Shannon has a promising future if he carefully considers who is paymaster is, and he stops taking dark money without considering the source. This election cycle he didn't and he thankfully got caught.

PatDissent • 9 years ago

Just flat out : how the fuck is Liberalism not classified as a mental disorder? When you have this much crazy pouring over the world, how is it there isn't even *ONE* shrink that wants to cash in and make boatloads of money? Jesus, I would be looking at exploding my client base by 100 and drooling over the piles of money soon to be stuffed in my mattress.

I'd like to ask something in earnest rather than start a fight — this time, anyway.

It's because I've noticed a particular tic that shows up when dudez deliver an insult to a woman. I've run into it pretty much everywhere, both in the 'sphere and the meatworld, so this isn't at all personal. Just that Stace presents a typical example:

Yeah, baby. Keep talking sexy like that and I might buy you a drink.

In other words, "No man would want you because you are utterly lacking feminine charms."

That's supposed to be a stab at the jugular, right? A woman without feminine charms is at the bottom of the worthless bucket. She can be a total moron or a bitch or a sociopath, but to be an ugly chick is worse than anything else.

I've also noticed that when men want to insult a dude, they run down his professional competence; to go after Charles Lizardouche Johnson, for example, men often speculated that his guitar playing sucked.

Which, it probably doesn't. CJ's transformation from cool dood to douchecanoe was a matter of character, and it seems to me it's worse to be a jerk than a poor guitar player.

Likewise, it is worse to be a psycho bitch from hell who is dumping truckloads of poison into the nation's ideological circulatory system than to be undesirable to men.

And yet you dudez always go for something that is unrelated to the person's character. You go for the woman's desirability or the man's competence (both at the core of self-worth for the respective sexes).

Why is that?

Just as an aside: When you guys accuse loathsome feminists of becoming loathsome feminists because no man would have them, at least one of your readers is a dumpy, fat old broad whom no man wanted (except some closet cases in need of a beard) and is so far past her sell-by date that she'll likely die a bitter old virgin.

But before they find her corpse, her cat will have eaten off most of her face.

Just sayin'
