MRAs on parade: chumpass motherfucker declares ownership of girlfriend’s uterus


MRAs on It’s always the way: some horndog dude decides to prong a woman, then ends up dissatisfied with the results. So he has a tantrum. The tantrum may take one, or a combination, of many interesting forms.

Sometimes the woman doesn’t want him around anymore, so he stalks her. Sometimes she makes him hate her so much that he emails naked pictures of her to the whole school. Sometimes she gets old or fat so he keeps her around to do his laundry but starts pronging a younger woman on the DL. Sometimes she stops putting out so he fires her from her job. Sometimes the woman interprets the pronging as rape, so he calls her a liar and tortures her with mental cruelty and courtroom drama and ends up doing no jail time.

And sometimes he makes the woman pregnant. In this case he can choose from many, many popular options. He might he murder her, beat her, abandon her, marry her, slut-shame her, or, as in today’s case, appeal to the patriarchal justice system to enforce his wishes as to what should be done with the contents of her personal uterus.

I allude to Greg Bruell, a dude who, having some time ago made the personal decision to father no further children, proceeded to prong his girlfriend anyway (as reported in Salon).

After reading the whole thing, I swear the air was sweeter, and the sun peaked behind a cloud.

2. That is an incredible article

"Scratch a misogynist and you'll find a homophobe" Should be a national mantra as it's a profound truth.

Racism is connected as well however in gender power plays, as it has a strong component of dominance and ownership of 'white' women. I often turn to the works of black and latina feminists, for instance, when I want a fuller picture of misogyny and it's devastating effects on culture.

3. As Shirley Chisholm used to say....

"Men are men."

8. it's how I began my journey

to overcoming my southern upbringing...

scratch a misogynist and you'll find a racist and vice versa...

I couldn't support "women's rights" without supporting EVERYONE's rights- race, creed, color, sex, sexual orientation ...

"black and latina feminists"

bell hooks was a huge catalyst for me. I thought I'd made "progress" in my journey - but I learned how far I still had to go when I read her.

14. She's a professor at my School!!!

I just went to one of her talks this week, and I told her how good it was when I saw her on the street, and she said thank you and asked for my NAME!

And she and Gloria Steimem are giving a seminar here this Sunday.

(OK, I'm done being excited now)

10. The line that had me roaring was,

"The instant you give your sticky little wad its joyous send-off, and the two of you part company, its fate becomes the purview of another host body. It is no longer your property, and you can’t say dick about what happens to it. However, it’s only fair that you should pay a fine for littering.

:rofl:
