Andrea Dworkin . . .

. . . could not be reached for comment:

BAY MINETTE, Ala. — By most accounts, 19-year-old Brittney Wood was with uncle Donnie Holland the night of May 30, 2012, the last time anyone saw her. Holland — who was under investigation for horrific sex crimes at the time — died from a bullet within days in what was ruled a suicide.
The investigation that followed has publicly unraveled what authorities describe as a dark, twisted tale of perversion in the working-class neighborhoods and piney backwoods of coastal Alabama.
Eight of Woods’ adult relatives and three family friends have been charged with dozens of felonies in two counties as the alleged members of an incestuous ring that authorities say shared children for group sex. Holland was the leader, prosecutors say, of what has been described as the largest sex ring ever uncovered in Alabama. Wood was a victim and likely key witness. . . .
Even without Wood to testify, two of her uncles and an older brother already have pleaded guilty to sex charges, and jurors this month convicted a friend of Holland’s of multiple sex charges in the first trial. Others — including the missing teen’s mother, Chessie Wood, and two aunts — await trial. . . .
The case is so big officials don’t know exactly how many kids inside and outside the family might have been victimized; estimates range from 11 to 16 children who were as young as 3 or 4 when they were first molested or made to watch adult relatives during drug-fueled orgies.

In case you didn’t get the headline reference to the late feminist Andrea Dworkin, here’s a quote from her 1974 book Woman Hating:

The incest taboo does the worst work of the culture: it teaches us the mechanisms of repressing and internalizing erotic feeling . . . The destruction of the incest taboo is essential to the development of cooperative human community based on the free-flow of natural androgynous eroticism. . . .
The incest taboo can be destroyed only by destroying the nuclear family as the primary institution of the culture. The nuclear family is the school of values in a sexist, sexually repressed society.

Most people have no idea of the insane hateful perversity that is feminism’s ideological core. The fundamental theories of feminism constitute a doctrine hostile to men, marriage, motherhood, morality and, ultimately, hostile to heterosexuality, per se.  But this esoteric doctrine is never the topic of discussion when feminists are engaged in public propaganda. The general audience hears only the exoteric discourse, which focuses on specific grievances and is couched in liberal rhetoric about “rights,” “equality” and “progress.”

Feminism’s inherent contradictions create cognitive dissonance, and the feminist is prone to irrationality, becoming unhinged from the stress. And since we’re on the topic of unhinged perverts:

Where to begin with Lena Dunham? First of all, we can’t imagine a world where accusations of the molestation of a younger sibling would be “LOL.” And second, while the most disturbing passage from Dunham’s book, “Not That Kind of Girl: A Young Woman Tells You What She’s ‘Learned,’” has been covered by conservative outlets like National Review and Truth Revolt, it’s far from a “right wing news story” when those sites simply quote verbatim from Dunham’s book.

Weird things keep happening. Remember the gay men who shared their adopted son with a pedophile ring called the Boy Lovers Network? Remember “My Sister Is Pregnant and We Don’t Know Which of My Brothers is the Father”? Police in Arkansas say a 2-year-old girl died after suffering “severe internal injuries” when she was raped by her uncle. Yet amid this frightening epidemic of wickedness, Lena Dunham thinks she can write a bestselling memoir in which she confesses to doing creepy things with her baby sister and nobody can be allowed to criticize her for it? This freak has an HBO series?

Andrea Dworkin could not be reached for comment, but I get the feeling Lena might be seeing her soon enough, as she seems to be traveling at top speed down a highway that leads to the gates of Hell.

    What are you saying here, RKae? That there’s a biological purpose for sex? That’s impossible…that would mean that heterosexuality is normal, and we know that’s false. /sarc

    What scares me is that this tactic of “of course [grossly abnormal thing] is perfectly normal, I guess you are all just too naive and hoity toity to understand how normal [grossly abnormal thing] is!” has worked so well for these sorts in the past. And now the stakes are raised again–normalization of child abuse is a horrifying thing to contemplate.

    For a perfect example of the left-wing bubble, look at that video where they detonate “climate change deniers” in splatters of blood.

    For the record, that ad was created by Richard Curtis (“Love Actually,” “Four Weddings and a Funeral”) for British audiences.

    But the idea of blowing up children because they did not buy into the global warming myth is disgusting, for sure.

    The fawning lamestream media is starting to take notice of this. But of course, they start every headline with “Lena Dunham defends/responds against right-wing accusations” to lionize her and try to make it seem like this is all some conservative fabrication.

    But it is encouraging to see that a lot of comments on even those sites find Dunham’s behavior disgusting and disturbing. It seems some readers are not receiving the story the way that Dunham’s media handlers intended.

    It seems some readers are not receiving the story the way that Dunham’s media handlers intended.

    That is what’s amazing. As was pointed out earlier, was there not one editor/agent/publisher who thought there would not be generalized horror at these revelations of abuse? The fact that these passages from her memoir–celebratory narcissism, not abject, tearful confession–saw the light of day without thought or objection from anyone tells us all we need to know about the state of American “culture” today.

    I’ll never by Dunham’s book, however, I made the mistake of reading Makes Me Wanna Holler when I was in my 30’s. There’s some sick work there, too. But we can’t go hating on the minorities and women, because in their minds, white folk do that sick crap, too.

    In other no-news whatsoever, the perverts of pervertville otherwise known as the PC Social Justice Warriors of the science fiction and fantasy community that worships gender-fluid intersectional feminism as its core doctrine have gone silent on the Dunham story. I mention them because, as a community that has been completely taken over by gender and privilege theory and the “diversity” of nuts like Andrea Dworkin, they are the canary in the coal mine for America.

    Considering they never shut up about stuff like the Dunham story, that tells you an awful lot about how exposed they feel and critiques them in a way that’s more profound than I could ever do. When you have that type of tacit and unconscious agreement, that is a stunning revelation and indictment of a shared one-mind that has no principles I can detect. It is as stunning an indictment as is how little that SFF community actually discusses SFF. In PC SFF, the straight white male, race and gender outdoes an interest in SFF by many times.

    Remember, in the PC community, right and wrong is dependent on your race and sex, not right and wrong. Dunham and the non-existent morality that flies about gender-fluidity, incest, non-binary and queer futures and NAMBLA like a flock of birds is one of their own. They cannot defend her and they will not sell her out, so they will pretend it never happened until a man does it. At that time, they’ll yell “Dive, dive” and the bells will clang and the thing that goes “Aaahyooogah!” will go “Aaahyooogah” along with accompanying insults about “cis peeeeooooople,” privileged “dudebros,” “white cis men,” and “a million mouthbreathing manchild misogynists.”

    When you can get Laurie Penny to shut up, you’ve actually gotten her to admit to an awful lot.

    It’s successful use isn’t unlimited, that’s what these people don’t understand. It is possible to go too far and after they do there will be a backlash. They don’t understand the difference between what they do to/with each other or themselves and doing that with/to a child. In particular Dunham doesn’t appear to see the difference between her, a successful celebrity, and the amorphous but equally reviled groups like NAMBLA or even GLAAD. She thought that her celebrity protected her from all that. Worms turn.

    That kind of backstory and tension could serve a decent protagonist’s struggle and triumph – it’s the AGPF/SJW authors don’t use it that way… and that will kill off a large part of trad-published SFF due to audience revulsion. Fortunately there are other sources of good SFF.

    If physical/sexual abuse of [weaker family member] becomes a “normal” thing, what’s to prevent physical/sexual abuse of [unrelated self-promoting little rich girl]? Just another “unexpected side effect”, I guess, to those who are so unreflective and self-centered.

    Has anyone read Grace Dunham’s tweets in response to this whole fiasco? It certainly validates everything that has been written here for years about the homosexual agenda. Grace Dunham is essentially validating her abuse as part of her queer identity, and beyond the judgment, or understanding, apparently, of heterosexual people. In the end what gay activists really want is a separate legal criteria for themselves, and that decriminalizes sexual deviance, arguing it’s what “gay people do”. NAMBLA made the same argument, and obviously it’s part of academia too, especially when judging the creepy, brainwashed, jargon laden way Grace Dunham attempts to make her point. I argued the Kate Hunt case, but goddamn if conservatives weren’t right about activist intentions.

  46. Fail Burton
    November 3rd, 2014 @ 6:56 pm

    This year the Science Fiction Writers of America gave a man who supports NAMBLA an award for his career in SF. The same SFWA that has been completely overtaken by gender feminist ideology. They also unabashedly worship Octavia Butler, who wrote an SF story about a 10 yr. old girl who has multiple bi-sexual encounters.

    Cue: coincidence.

    Like Dunham, core SFF is a insulated cult that is about to meet reality. You can literally smell the coming scandals from such an ideology of institutionalized weirdness.

    Many years ago I had a lefty bisexual girlfriend that I lived with out in San Francisco that gave me a copy of Xenogenesis. I guess I know why I never read it?

    It’s ironic that Grace Dunham’s tweets inadvertently implode the “born this way” concept, and support the idea that “queer” is a constructed identity, and a product of experience, and that straight people have absolutely no right judging the path to lesbianism, or lesbians. They also attempt to support pedophilia, and incest as acceptable forms of sexual expression that straight people shouldn’t judge either.

    November 3rd, 2014 @ 7:57 pm

    To take it a step further Grace Dunham is saying the experiences that lead her to queer identity can’t be bad, because that would make her bad, and the only reason anyone else thinks they’re bad is because they are brainwashed heterosexuals. I think I got it now!
