Cleaning off my desktop… some more links from the fringe…
Feminista! – all the anti male spin, but somehow the other boards still seem to love/hate these people. This is the main site.
On Sex Positiveness [Feminista! v6n1] – apparently liking sex is a bad thing. Welcome to the new Victorian era. Here are some quotes…
“Ok. Think I got it! Sex Positive means anything consensually sexual goes, as long as orgasm is the aim. And if women can just get with the program, and get rid of all that darn shame that just ruins everything, by gawd, women will be so much freer and better off. And, and, and… Hold on right there!
Hmmm….
Just why does this look like a fantasy come true for men, rather than for women? Just why was “especially for women” put in parentheses? Does this imply that somehow women have the “wrong” and/or a “negative” attitude about sex? Wrong and negative to whom?” – quote in context
The author remains dubious and references someone named “Germaine Greer” so that she won’t have to actually think for herself….
“This insidious process was floated on the lie of the sexual revolution. Along with the spurious equality and flirty femininity we were sold sexual “freedom.” One man’s sexual freedom is another man’s — or woman’s or child’s — sexual thraldom. The first tenet of sexual freedom is that any kind of bizarre behavior is legitimate if the aim is orgasm. Men who nail each other’s foreskins to breadboards are not to be criticized or ridiculed, still less humiliated or punished. An individual who get his kicks by shoving live hamsters into his rectum must not be reviled, though he may be prosecuted for cruelty to animals. Political correctness forbids me to identify such a paraphilliac as male, but if he turns out to be female I’ll eat the hamster.
The sexuality that has been freed is male sexuality which is fixated on penetration. Penetration equals domination in the animal world and therefore in the unregenerate human world which is part of it. The penetrated, regardless of sex, cannot rule, OK? Not in prison, not in the army, not in business, not in the suburbs. The person on the receiving end is — fucked, finished, unserviceable, degraded. Not actually, you understand, but figuratively, which, language being a metaphor, is what counts. When a male soldier calls a female soldier a split, he identifies her as a fuckee and asserts his dominance over her. Penetration has but little to do with love and even less with esteem. In the last third of the twentieth century more women were penetrated deeper and more often than in any preceding era. The result in Britain is epidemic rates of chlamydia, genital warts and herpes, especially in women aged between sixteen and nineteen, together with a rate of teen pregnancy second only to that of the U.S. What the penis could not accomplish was done for it by the outsize dildo and the fist, the speculum and the cannula. If penetration was the point, it certainly got made.” – quote from Germaine Greer in “The Whole Woman”
