I’d just like to take this opportunity to thank ‘Michel Foucault’ for taking a break out of his being a dead revolutionary thinker in order to come back to scold some feminists for ‘misinterpreting’ Bettina Arndt in such a way that we’ve made it sound as though she’s said it’s a ‘wifely duty’ to let their husbands jerk off inside them for the sake of marital harmony.
What would we do without such scoldings to keep us in line?
We might get carried away with our hormonal and irrational little woman-sized pea-brains and think she was blaming women not putting out enough for men’s many and varied attitude problems and Chips On Shoulders.
So thank you THANK YOU Michel Foucault for coming back from the dead to tell a bunch of extremely intelligent women that they are in fact morons with no capacity to read and ascertain the point of any given piece of writing.
I don’t know WHAT we would do without you.

He’s in the auto-mod file now. Whining repeatedly about how not repetitive and insipid you are is a surefire way to go about joining the seedy company in there.
Here’s his latest, if you’re interested (after I pointed him to reading material specifically debunking the ‘all sex is rape’ strawfem:
“Look, don’t let Bettina bother you too much. Just protest her book launches or egg her house or something. Believe me, I’m on your side. I just agree with what Bettina said about couples being more open with each other and that both men and women should be a bit more generous and giving with each other when one partner has high libido and the other is not so interested in sex. What’s wrong with that? I just said I agree with the basic ideas of feminism, yet you’re still having a go at me. What do you want from me? I didn’t do anything, I’m just trying to make a contribution, that’s all.”
I don’t think I’ll be bothering with it.

Yeah because egging a house is SO MUCH MORE productive and useful than having a lengthy discussion of the problems you see in her work, and so much more mature, and so much more a sign that she’s not ‘bothering us too much’. What a complete wanker.
“Believe me I’m on your side”. No, sorry, you misunderstand our side if you think we can’t recognise a point when we see one, you’re not on our side when you insinuate we’re idiots, you’re not on our side when you tell us to just ‘not worry about it’ (as if it was raising our blood pressure fragile little creatures we are with fragile little libidos and fragile states of mind).
What do you want from me? Hmmm…for you NOT to tell women what to think, how to react, how they have it all wrong, how they’ve misread someone totally when they haven’t, how they should do the kinky stuff and do “whatever it takes” to get their partner off when they’re not in the mood…that and shutting the fuck up and reading the links that were recommended would be a great start

ARGH I just had my own “no, seriously, sometimes I AGREE with you, I can’t be a troll” episode. *headdesks repeatedly* I try to just view their efforts as proof we’re winning.

I’m still fucked off about the username! Mmmmmhmmm, coz Foucault had NO FUCKING IDEA about the importance of social construction to…ah…fucking everything! But ‘michel’ is right, we should all just stop recognising it, speaking about it, and just get ourselves in the kitchen and bake him a pie.

Oh I hear you, all of you. Fuck a duck.
*sometimes I AGREE with you, I can’t be a troll* – and then the HEY BITCH I AGREE chicks should get paid right, how DARE you argue with me, what do you WANT from me you demanding, irrational shrews!
Gaargh.
*But ‘michel’ is right, we should all just stop recognising it, speaking about it, and just get ourselves in the kitchen and bake him a pie* – yeah or deal with it ‘better’ in a ‘calmer and more productive’ way – like…egging a house. WTF?

Ha, if we are to form a short-form name (acronym?) for this particular flavour of concern troll, it should start somewhere around “HEY BITCH I’M ON YOUR SIDE”.

I think we need a song:
“Hey bitch,
I’m just a man
Doing what I can [background singers croon "COOKIEEEEES, WANT COOKIEEEES"]
Hey bitch you don’t need to be so mean
When I tell you you can’t read or see the point of anything
I just want ["COOKIES...JUST WANT SOME COOOKIEEEES"]
Oook, you may have just discovered WHY I’m not in the song writing biz…

Actually, I’m suddenly not sure I’m criticising him properly, I need a man to come an tell me I’m doing it okay! Or am I too over the top? Are my strident feminist bitch/harridan’s showing? Does my bum look big in this? Help me, ‘Michel’, you’re feminism’s only hope!
*ahem* my sarcasm gland may just have exploded, apologies to those now covered in vitriol.

No need to apologise. Vitriol (unlike Jack) lives here.
