Good thing we have our priorities straight

[ludickid]

Lately, the Bitchdowne School of conservative opinionating has been making lots of noise. The school is so named for the fact that any time a woman suggests that the status of women in our society is still somewhat inferior and that perhaps we still have work to do in this arena, they rise en masse to scream "Bitch, down!" Any statement of

Calling your son "your little treasure" is seriously gay homo queer fag fey queen dick-in-the-butt.

...teach that kid how to be a constructive conqueror.
...teach that kid how to be a compassionate conservative.
...teach that kid how to be a considerate oppressor.
...teach that kid how to be a merciful executioner.
...teach that kid how to be a quiet explosion.
...teach that kid how to be a giant midget.
...teach that kid how to be a tiger that is also a slightly worn shoestring.
...teach that kid how to be a tool.

Those are some Elvis Costello lyrics right there.

I think he betrays his core constituency with the spelling of "Maw and Paw". The Kettles don't raise THEIR boy to be a sissy!

Make no mistake about it: misandry (man hatred) is now the dominating motif of postmodernism.

Real men have stong fourth walls and want stories which don't know they are stories - Family Guy is a tool of the matriarchy!

I'm sure Doug Giles could take Richard Rorty in a fistfight, so that makes him right.

the veritable sheeples of stupid cultural morays

...stupid cultural... eels?

This is fantastic though. I've missed these townhall excoriations.

[ludickid]

Yeah, that and the "gonads" thing just killed me. I expect these guys to be stupid, but some of them are also pretty dumb.

Man, you're in top form today. You seem especially pissed off.

[ludickid]

You know, I was talking about this with a friend the other day: since I’m not a woman, I don’t lose anything from rampaging sexism. I can only gain from it. I’m not trying to score suck-up points with feminists; I’m just genuinely irritated with this intellectually compromised, self-serving crap. It just bothers me because it’s degrading and stupid and cruel. So, you know, if this kind of retrograde bullshit bothers ME as much as it does, what must it be like for actual women? Don’t fucking tell me that there’s no more need for feminism, not with assholes like this in positions of power and Kate O’Bierne’s piece of shit book at the top of the best-seller list. Gah.

[lietya]

It's men like you who keep us feminists from going nuts with Uzis. (OK, some of us.... some are gonna do it anyway.)

but yeah, the irritation often culminates in a fit of homicidal rage, after a particularly bad day of this shit.

When you get all worked up like that, we get treated to particularly eloquent prose, so perhaps some small good has come from these misogynistic assholes.

I think I see where he's going with the gonads thing. By "kids with the gonads," he means "not castrated." So he's expanding his hate-equivalence: castrated = homosexual = womanly. I seriously can't see how these people can claim to be heterosexual, since they sure can't stand to come into contact with anything they see as feminine.

Oh my God. O'Hanrahan, you couldn't even get it all into one, overstuffed beatdown.

Good luck finding holy testosterone in Hollywood

Yes, Hollywood pictures are pretty much the last place one could expect to find evidence of testosterone!

Pink Floyd’s “Hey, teacher, leave these kids alone” line from “Another Brick in The Wall” takes on a whole new meaning

You touched on this already, but one suspects that Giles has not listened to The Wall in its entirety. Or The Final Cut. Or any Roger Waters song where he blasts fascists and the conservative war establishment.

One great source for rebellious inspiration comes from the Bible.

Except for that fruity long-haired hippie Jesus who preached "Love thy neighbor" and wore sandals, fer chrissake!

As a footnote, the jokes about the chimichanga and the "one armed wallpaper hanger" are pretty much direct ripoffs of Larry the Cable Guy. So it's not just contrived attempts at down-home folksy humor, it's a RIPOFF of a contrived attempt at down-home folksy humor.

Exactly! When was the last time a Hollywood movie championed macho values, a warrior mentality, or rampaging testosterone? Why, I can't think of more than, say, ten thousand of them in the last five years or so.
