AAAAUUUGGGGHHHH.
GD. Right now. Not anti-feminist, but equally insane.

For the sake of your sanity. GD is no place for a sensitive soul such as you. :-)

4. try Women's Rights if you want
AAAAUUUGGGGHHHH.

some No Profile person who posts under a user name that sounds like slang for "penis owner", is all upset because women DARE to own their uteri without male interference. something about how "emasculating" these women are.

AAAAUUUGGGGHHHH.

5. Yup. He's a known misogynist.
He's a regular on a lot of threads, frequently implying that women are lying, manipulative, abusive somethings who are out to get men.

He's got issues.

7. I'm barred

from posting in the Addiction/Recovery group, because I posted my objections to the group being used as a dark hole in which to vilify members posting elsewhere at DU.

I don't know why someone who posts in the Women's Rights forum for the sole purpose of vilifying other members of DU should be allowed to keep posting there.

I speak prospectively, of course -- no administration decision/action to date is being questioned.

Such a decision/action might be advisable from this point onward. Requests to that effect could be made.

8. oh okay, i get it now,
he's part of the demographic for the Tom Leykis show.

for those who have never listened to this misogynist piece of crap, this is pretty much the Leykis philosophy in a nutshell.

(1) the clever men are the men who don't get "trapped".
(2) don't get involved with single moms, too much trouble.
(3) "liberated" women are okay because they "give it up" faster.
(4) feminist women are man-haters.

11. He's an idiot
I had a nurse friend who would listened to him when I was working nights at another job. I asked her why, and she basically had a "know thy enemy" attitude. Wasn't worth it to me. I did know and talk a fan who defended him by saying he was "helped men and women who just wanted to get laid go out and just do it without baggage" (pretty much a direct quote)

He had "liberated" women asking him to sign their "rack". So empowering to have a unattractive and colossal waste of time, energy and air, write his name on breasts. Ugh.

A typical shock jock, he just feeds the underlying misogyny of our culture. In other words, if someone has the guts to say it, and I feel that way, why it MUST BE SO (Insert thundering voice of Patriarchal God here)

His fans do not question where or how or why those feelings originated, never question their validity, or rather, they don't want to question, or look too deeply, takes too much brain power to challenge the status quo. They like to keep their sex dirty. Bad little boys and girls who don't want to have adult sex. Keep it low brow and porn nasty. Then call up to get verbally abused or talk shit about sex and "relationships"

The Leykis's of the world know how to manipulate our sexist/misogynist/rape culture. He's a pimp really, in every negative sense of the word.

Any fan of his has to be extremely immature, very angry, or deeply deluded.

9. update: from reading more
Edited on Fri Oct-12-07 04:33 PM by musette_sf
of this person's posts, i gather that he is a libertarian.

eeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

for some reason, most libertarians i know, and i know some very active card-carrying libertarians, tend to not take feminism seriously. they see it as akin to affirmative action.

"oh NOES, someone else might get stuff that is rightfully mine by patriarchal privilege! and they might get well-deserved help because the playing field is not level! where's my bulldozer? quick, Robin, to the 'No Grils Aloud' Bat-Cave!"

10. Exactly!
"I have a right to every advantage I can beg, borrow or steal. You have a right to be my victim. Any attempt to impose rules to create equality or fairness is a violation of my rights. And anyone who complains about my privilages is a whiner who needs to be ridiculed and silenced."

6. Ew.
I guess that's (slightly) less upsetting than the "What will happen if the Jews are perfected?" thread. Maybe "penis owner" can help me cool off.
