Checking in with the Perpetually Aggrieved Angry Feminists

by

Feminists were outraged about a lot of stuff this week. Of course, feminists are always outraged. That’s what modern feminism has become; an all-you-can-eat buffet of outrage against minor slights perceived by neurotically hypersensitive leftists. (On college campuses, these are known as “micro-aggressions.)  Anyway, feminists this week were outraged because

1. A female comic book super hero was portrayed in a skin-tight bodysuit just like all male comic book superheroes wear all the time.

2. It was observed that Rachel Maddow was more aesthetically appealing before she adopted the ‘butch Kyle McLachlan’ look. (Actually, this is a recent article about a four year old feminist tantrum.)

You know, ’cause in this photo she has long blonde hair and is so PRETTY like a WOMAN and now she’s this scary butch lesbian with short hair and glasses and Opinions and who the hell would ever want to tap THAT? I mean, besides everyone and all of us here. But isn’t it so super-special that once upon a time, Rachel Maddow was still you know attractive by heteronormative patriarchal standards of beauty?

Which leads Robert Stacy McCain to conclude:

Anybody can be merely gay, but you need a theory — an ideology, a political philosophy — in order to have this kind of jargon that interprets your gayness in the context of oppression and social justice.

3. Conservatives have been allowed to express conservative opinions at Yale University (Thank you, Steve)

“When you invite very conservative speakers here who perhaps have controversial views on Islam or homosexuality, you essentially make Yale a very uncomfortable place for a large percentage of the people here on campus, and everyone should feel at home at college,” [Nutjob Feminist Helen] Price told the Daily News.

4. And at Columbia U, a feminist is unhappy that the guy she accused of rape several months after consenting to sex with him did not have his life ruined by university administrators. Instead of taking the matter to law enforcement, she is protesting by dragging a mattress with her around campus, everywhere she goes. It’s what passes for a “Senior Thesis” these days.

Entitled “Carry That Weight,” the mattress is both the visual art major’s senior thesis and a step in her journey to come to terms with her experience. Over the past year, Sulkowicz has become a prominent critic of the University’s sexual assault adjudication policies, retelling her story to various administrators and media organizations to raise awareness.

  9. I LOVE this:

    “When you invite very conservative speakers here who perhaps have controversial views on Islam or homosexuality, you essentially make Yale a very uncomfortable place for a large percentage of the people here on campus, and everyone should feel at home at college,” [Nutjob Feminist Helen] Price told the Daily News.

    Isn’t that the very essence of the liberal mind?

    A “controversial view” = not agreeing with the liberal.

    A “controversial view” therefore = an uncomfortable place for a large percentage of people.

    “Everyone should feel at home” = a comfortable place.

    A “controversial view” = an attack on the home.

    “Home” = castle.

    An attack on the home = WAR.

    A “controversial view” = attack and annihilation.

    College = a liberal echo chamber.

    Liberal Education = armor-clad settled, consensus ideology.

  10. “The issue with the portrayal of Jessica Drew in the cover V, is that it’s more like body paint…”
    like so many male comic heros
    “…on a difficult position to hold IRL.”
    again, no different from male superhero poses.

  11. Yup, Maddox already torpedoed the whole “Spider-Woman is the only one to pose like that” argument with a Spider-Man cover.

    So, so very sick of the shrill screeching about that cover. Don’t like it? Don’t buy it. And I hope, if you’re a feminist or beta-male whining about the Spider-Woman cover, you don’t buy Elle magazine, since they use sexualized female covers constantly. Funny how that seems not to garner any controversy.

    Even funnier, comics don’t sell all that well, haven’t since the bubble burst in the 90’s, so how many are even going to see a sales incentive variant on a title that likely won’t sell more than 40k total?

    But keep whining about poor Jessica Drew’s posing and “presenting” (oh, PLEASE) and ignoring the honor killings, female genital mutilations, and general slave state of women amongst a certain religion …

  12. I don’t know who to give credit to for this one but it is good: “If women woke up tomorrow liking their bodies, think of the thousands of companies that would go out of business.”

  13. Well what got me was the ‘dimples on the butt’ I’m not sure any spandex covers that tightly.

    Heck, even Nicola Scott’s fanservice Nightwing didn’t get this bad.

    And this woman does know how to draw costumes vs nudes

    (Aside, if you can find the trades, read Secret Six, the most dysfunctional team out there.)
