Let Me Get Back To You On That Whole "Equality" Thing.

Two quick notes that will make you pull your hair and scream.

First, via Feministing, there's this asshole. Colorado Representative Larry Liston called pregnant teenagers "sluts":

Liston used the derogatory term during a Republican caucus lunch on health care to express his view that unmarried teen parents are sexually promiscuous and to ( Read more... )

misogyny in action, feminism

Today it’s simply, 'Let's don't go forward with this act.'"

I'm unable to parse how that is "simply." "Let's not go foward with this act." "Too bad, I want to, and you let me kiss you with tongue, so you started it." Gee, that's ok then!

Oh, come on, everyone knows that unless you're going out with an armed male escort, mummified head to foot, and never make eye contact or even speak to a man, you are asking for it. And it's totally your fault.

That guy has a serious reality problem.

No, you're asking for it by being born a female.

Oh, right. Right. I forgot. I'm an animal.

Rape, ladies and gentlemen, is not today what rape was

What, it's not like the good old rape we had in the old days?? It's like a macabre version of that Monty Python "four Yorkshiremen" sketch. Jesus fucking christ, that guy deserves to be violated by a massive strap-on then told that he DESERVES the pain and humiliation because after all he has at some stage consented to have sex with a woman and never specifically SAID he didn't want to be buggered. Wanker.

Ooh. I like that.

Well, feel free to implement it on my behalf. I don't have a passport at the moment so the travel arrangements may be tricky.

Give him one from me. *sniggers*

Yes, that's exactly the most appalling thing either of these men could have said.

Good God...

Both your letters are very well put and not hasty at all, IMHO. Both those guys should be repeatedly ass raped by a bull moose with AIDS. I don't think I could manage put put letters to them together without resorting to "Dear fuckhead" and the like.
