Ok, I had some sleep… did some work, and now I had a minute to look into the rest of the radfem threads. So let’s continue the tour.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Ms. Boards can men be oppressed (off I’m tired.)<\/a> – this is a cute thread, basically it is discussing whether any man, in any place, can ever be oppressed.<\/p>\n “As a matter of fact, it’s MEN who have mastered the use of other forms of oppression to dominate women, such as racism, classism, and all the rest. Yeah, Ilse and Irma were evil, sadistic women, but it was not women who came up with the concepts of SADISM, EUGENICS, MASS MURDER, AND SO FORTH. We have our wonderful, oppressed, downtrodden, MEN to thank for those lovelies!<\/p>\n Men, as a class<\/i>, are waging war against women via rape, battering, incest, prostitution, pornography, poverty, and gynocide. You’re in feminist country now. Wake up.” – comment in context<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The Ms. Boards Evidence of a Rape Culture<\/a> – well, this is your generic “lets talk about how bad things are” thread, but then there is this little riff on movies and so on that is pretty amusing. Let’s check in \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n “Aerosmith vid with Liv Tyler and Alicia Silverstone where an old man at a gas station is checking out her ass and she just seems literally overwhelmed with joy….<\/p>\n [edit]<\/p>\n Is it just me or is all this trying to normalize rape? Sucks to be a rape survivor in this world. “Strong female characters apparently are only allowed up to a point, before they have to be “put in their place” – the physically strong and capable woman who’d fought and survived her way through the film suddenly becoming helpless and at the mercy of men threatening rape, being dressed up for the occasion in the “feminine” and revealing ballgowns (that was unbelievably gratuitious and out of place, IMO), before finally being rescused by the “hero”…” – comment in context<\/a><\/p>\n “And I know Serving Sara (the converyer belt scene) was not pertaining to rape\/sexual assault, but it’s just one more example where women’s clothes are removed against their will, their bodies exposed, and it’s portrayed as comedy, and no big deal. And she seemed unphased by it. There was no need for the writers to throw that in, except to show a woman half naked.” – comment in context<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ok, I had some sleep… did some work, and now I had a minute to look into the rest of the radfem threads.
