Nina Burleigh: #WomenAgainstFeminism Is for ‘Pedophiles … Dirty Old Men’ UPDATE: ‘Perverted Rightwing Spite’

Posted on | July 31, 2014 | 99 Comments

@NinaBurleigh publishes an absolutely disgusting libel:

Women Against Feminism had, last time I checked, 16,013 followers on Facebook. Its tumblr is constructed of selfies of young women, dressed and posed like ads for DIY escort services, holding up bits of notebook paper on which they’ve scrawled screeds against feminism. . . .
Everything about Women Against Feminism suggests it’s a sock puppet for the aggrieved misogynists and pedophiles of the anti-feminist men’s rights crowd. The main clue is that almost all the women on the site are nubile and posed in ways that fulfill dirty old men’s wildest dreams about pliant young things.

This vile smear is doubly disgusting because of Nina Burleigh’s infamous 1998 comment about the Monica Lewinsky scandal:

“I would be happy to give [Bill Clinton] a blowjob
just to thank him for keeping abortion legal. I think
American women should be lining up with their
presidential kneepads on to show their gratitude
for keeping the theocracy off our backs.”

So, according to this soi-disant feminist intellectual, it’s perfectly acceptable for a 20-year-old intern to fellate the married middle-aged man who happens to be her boss — Nina Burleigh expressed no complaints about “pliant young things” and “dirty old men” in 1998 — but when women reject feminism’s radical ideology, the only possible explanation, according to Ms. Burleigh, is that these women are sock puppets for pedophile misogynists.

The New York Observer should be ashamed to publish a deranged fanatic as hateful and dishonest as Nina “Kneepads” Burleigh.

UPDATE: The New York Observer‘s current editor, Ken Kurson, is their sixth editor in seven years, and unless Kurson strongly repudiates Nina Burleigh’s reprehensible column, he should be fired immediately. Her deliberate lies are unacceptable.

UPDATE II: The shameless lying hater tells more hateful lies:

Did I mention Women Against Feminism has a popular Facebook page?

UPDATE III: Other than (a) fantasizing about providing oral sex for pro-abortion Democrats and (b) telling hateful lies against feminism’s critics, I’m not sure what kind of “feminist” ideology Nina Burleigh promulgates. However, I’ve recently begun a series of essays about radical feminism called “Sex Trouble”:

Honestly, I had been procrastinating about writing the next long installment in the series, so I’m glad that Nina Burleigh provided this helpful inspiration. Life is good. Hit the tip jar.

    No one said that philosophical consistency was Ms. Burleigh’s strong suit, the same being the “hobgoblin of little minds,” don’t you know.

    This tops the vile charts – because some women have seen the effects of modern feminism and are rejecting it makes them targets of a vicious feminist attack – Perhaps it might be better if feminists took a good long, hard look at what is happening and why women are rejecting the message. Perhaps it is because these young women are able to read the dictionary definition of feminism and it does not match reality. The feminists who do not like the message should be asking question like – Are they seeing something I am not? – It is not a question of the right to vote , equal rights, or equal opportunities as most reasonable people have no problem with these. What is the answer?

    Run run run…from feminists. Young, nubile, pliant… and here are some more HIGHLY desirable traits…ga ga, doe-eyed, smitten, yeah all the gloss that typically gets sand-blasted off when a woman avails herself of all the super-easy-to-get dick. The worst device for feminists is known as a passport. The few American men who travel widely outside the West suddenly get PTFD (post traumatic feminist disorder) which leads to face pain due to the fact they are not used to constantly smiling.

    Modeled after the “I need feminism,” selfies everywhere else. which I suspect is why it bothers you so much Ms. Burleigh. Sauce for the goose. As far as the sock puppets comment goes; got any other conspiracy theories you want to float?

    Feminism is plagued by outdated (scientifically disproven) marxist theories. cooked statistics, fraudulent historical narratives, and delusional rape fantasies (“Rape Culture”). It perpetuates organized interstate crime (kidnapping, child-poisoning (big pharma brain-maiming drugs), extortion, perjury, child trafficking, larceny, cronyism, law malpractice, forensics malpractice and now openly promotes a woman’s license to commit violence with impunity. The dumbing-down that political correctness (feminism and other scams) has caused is a threat to national security and is destroying the economy. We can no longer afford this anti-rational superstitious dogma.

    What a hypocritical beyotch.

    And furthermore, if she’s going to be on TV, she ought to do something about those brows, and put some makeup on so she doesn’t look like the walking dead. And that outfit is hideous. The lack of color washes her out. And she’s probably wearing ugly shoes, too.

    Wow, what a freaking hateful woman. Can’t even think beyond the premise of condemning, shaming, and vilifying ideas that run contrary to her own beliefs.

    Keep it up Nina, every little “micro-aggression” and in your case “macro-aggression” drives intelligent and capable women away from feminism.

    “The main clue is that almost all the women on the site are nubile”
    Non-feminist women are attractive, therefore conspiracy? You, madam, are an idiot.
    “and posed in ways that fulfill dirty old men’s wildest dreams about pliant young things”
    The wildest dreams of dirty old men is looking at fully clothed headshots of women holding pieces of paper? The sexual fantasies of dirty old men appear to be considerably tamer and more wholesome than their collective name would have suggested.

    Three hundred and twenty years ago this little school girl would be at home in Salem, MA. Pointing her fickle finger of fate at whomever displeased her and having them hanged, stoned, and crushed for amusement.

    I don’t think Nina needs to worry about the need for an abortion. For one thing, I think her eggs died out while Clinton was President, and besides, what man would go near that?

    Nina’s Wiki page seems to be proud of the fact that she is a 4th generation Atheist. Well, since she doesn’t believe in God she has to make up for worshipping all the little gods of the left, I suppose-leftisnm, feminism, etc.

    And Nina, get a clue-If young women ran an escort service the pictures would probably be a lot sexier than that. The Valley Girls over the the State Dept pose with twitter hashtags. Do dirty old men dream about them too?

    Maybe it would have been a better article if you had tried to read the article and understand what they were getting at rather than sneering and making slurring put downs.

  37. FenelonSpoke
    July 31st, 2014 @ 2:10 pm

    Since she’s about 53 no, she doesn’t need to have an abortion. Iff the information is still accurate, though, she is (still) married to a photographer and has two children.

    So, if women who aren’t part of the radical feminist movement are young, nubile and pretty is not the corollary that radical feminists are old, ugly spinsters? I think she doesn’t quite have the hang of this whole insult thing.
