This Makes Me Want To Punch A Wall

Here’s a video to cause your blood pressure to rise. Awesome rant too. Thanks to GNC for the link.

Make sure you read the comments as well. Here’s a great point by mAndrea:

I think castration is hilarious but nobody ever makes jokes about that. I wonder why not?

Just for turn-about-is-fair-play, I googled for castration jokes the other day. Found lots of people denigrating all those evil misogynist-hating bitches who supposedly had lists of castration jokes taped to their portable chainsaws, but amazingly enough I only found THREE actual castration jokes from my search.

For some reason, everybody seems to think that castration jokes were TooSerious™ to be repeated, but rape jokes are just fine.

While I’ve actually heard some women make castration jokes she makes a good point. Rape and castration jokes aren’t funny. So why are some men unable to see that they are along the same lines—joking about something that is physically harmful and emotionally damaging?

My Shame

June 8, 2007 at 2:27 pm (Random)

1. I have a secret shame among my System of the Down, Metallica, and Rob Zombie Cds. It is Gwen Stefani’s Love. Angel. Music. Baby. I hate myself.

2. If I come upon Flavor of Love or any of its spin-offs while I’m flipping through the channels, I’ll watch it. Not only do these shows set the feminist movement back about 20 years but they leave me with an unclean feeling.

3. I’m mocking the media and its Paris Hilton frenzy. Yet, it’s on in the background as I type this. I’m a hypocrite!

4. I hate being an adult and having to make adult decisions.

5. I can’t stop buying books. My bookshelves are collapsing under the weight of all my books. I have books stacked around my apartment. I. Can’t. Stop.

Stupidity #3

Why is it said that PORN degrades women ?

Ok i just asked a question about 10 minutes ago, the title was“`DO WOMEN WATCH PORN“` you can read yourself, and 100% of the women said they do. I asked that question to test the theory of hypocricy. My question is why is it degrading to women ? and what makes you think that it is not degrading to men ? to potray them as sex obsessed being ? Why the double standard when it comes to men who watched porn ? I mean when a men watches it, its said that he is a pervert or a person who thinks of women as sex object. And when a women watches it its because she has sexual interest too or its her right,, and i dont get another thing, by calling porn a degrade to women you are actually degrading your own gender, think about it, this women are actually doing what they have to, to survive, even prostitute do that to survive, i respect them because they do it to support themselves or their kids, now whats wrong with that ? Men or i atleast dont think that as degrading

the only thing that is degrading is women watching porn, telling men that its degrading to women but in actual fact men watch,desire and respect women like this,,why the double standard ? the only thing that is degrading is you judging ppl but you yourself doing it,and the best thing is by saying that you are degrading your own gender,,the only degrading this is a women who doesnt appreciate herself and sleeps around and then come up and tells ppl that porn is degrading. Who are you kidding ?

Uh . . . OK. Wait—huh?

What exactly is women’s studies? Why do we have women’s studies? Why is there no Men’s studies?

That is the most hypocritical thing i’ve read today. Oh and by the way The “minority” in the U.S. is ,and has been for quite some time now, white males in their twenties. So don’t give me that minority crap!

Oh no! How do you get out of bed every morning knowing that? The horror! The horror!

Why do women think that aborting is the right way? Think about this? What if your mother had chosen to abort you? I have had this question for some time and wondered if this is something women consider before they terminated thier pregnancies?This is not meant to offend anyone.

Well, I could go really mean and say, “You know, if she had aborted me I sure wouldn’t have to read your stupid question” but I won’t. But I will say this: You’re stupid. You think women don’t think about an abortion before they have one? You think a pregnant woman wakes up one day and thinks, “Hmm, I’m bored. Hey, I know! I’ll get an abortion! I’ll even have time to make my hair appointment!” No, women agonize over this decision, which is one of the hardest a woman will ever make. She doesn’t use it as birth control—more right wing propaganda that you’ve obviously fallen for–and she doesn’t laugh evilly as the slimey doctor bends over her. Jeez, you people make me sick. Think about the information you’re getting. Analyze it. Understand that everything you hear may not be the total truth and then research it yourself. Idiot.
