The Queering of Feminism

You get the general drift here. Feminists today enthusiastically advocate every form of sexuality except normal sexuality.

Perhaps you’re wondering what “LGBTQIA+” means, or maybe you don’t understand how “the Bi and Pan Community” is suffering from “Harmful Tropes.” Why even waste time defining exotic labels like “demisexual”? Instead of adding extra letters to the LGBT acronym, couldn’t we just label this entire coalition W for “weirdo” or F for “freak”?

This exotic 21st-century rainbow of queer feminism is to sexuality what Baskin-Robbins is to ice cream, offering 31 flavors of abnormal perversion to those seeking escape from the gender binary and the heterosexual matrix that define oppression under patriarchy.

Now everybody is an oppressed victim, except normal people, because whatever feminists are, they are never normal people.

    You’ll notice each headline implies the less than stellar morality of people who aren’t them. There is no live and let live there, they only exist as a reflection of my bigotry. I don’t want to soft soap this and pretend there is no discrimination against gay folks. At the same time we are all more than familiar with the almost feral satisfaction with which the politicized advocates of this ideology snipe at straight white men. Whatever discrimination exists against gay folks, these folks in turn are more than willing to exaggerate it out to the Oort Cloud.

    That’s to be expected from an ideology which is fundamentally opposed to men and heterosexuality. That poses the question of where discrimination stops and a thing like the KKK starts. There seems little doubt this movement has more than its share of supremacists hiding behind an anti-oppression veneer as if they are bravely fighting the good fight in a homophobic woman-hating Jim Crow county.

    The tip-off is if one suffers from discrimination there is no need to exaggerate it. I’m sure black folks in Jim Crow counties and Jews in European ghettoes didn’t hold meetings making up extra stuff to be angry about. It is a truism of life that one can measure the peacefulness of one’s life by the triviality of one’s criticisms of that life. “Micro aggressions” and a “rape culture” where each and every man is a criminal accessory after the fact doesn’t cut it.

    That’s my problem with all this. There have been anthologies, music festivals and what have you for ages where folks huddle by race or sex and no one really cared. What you have in this new atmosphere is an unending parade of such huddlings and they all come with an introduction that reads “And by the way, straight white men are jerks,” and there’s the rub. That’s the difference between live and let live and a racist, sexist, supremacist cult.

    As examples, let’s be honest and admit that women like Brianna Wu, Anita Sarkeesian and Shanley Kane are not having rocks thrown at them but are serial rock-throwers who create their own victimization and imaginary oppressions. There are ways to critique culture without doing the equivalent of saying Jews are greedy, blacks are lazy, men are privileged jerks and whites are racists. The closest thing to a KKK in the world of those 3 are themselves.

    I have nothing against people that engage in consensual kink, and whose sexuality doesnt fall neatly inside what is deemed “normal”. In my opinion the only morality around sex play is consent. What I can’t for the life of me fathom is why some people feel driven to make what goes on in their bedroom between them and their partners a political issue, and air it out in public? its just another form of exhibitionism.

    Just one minor quibbling point of order: Brianna Wu is most definitely not a woman. It is attempting to piggyback onto a victim culture, and the reason it is doing so is that for the Progressive Left, one’s status is determined by where one falls on the “Victim Spectrum.” The most insidious thing about this, is that young Caucasian men feel compelled to go to great lengths, including self-mutilation, in order to be validated by the current culture.

    It is a perverse desire to cease to be truly human. Being human means acknowledging our ability to ask questions; to think about the ramifications of our actions. This exhibitionism is simply the manifestation of a desire to jettison the moral backpack which we lug through life. They wish to be animals with everything that entails: no morality, no intellectual substance, and no soul.

    What they desire ultimately is the “fleshpots of Egypt” in a philosophical sense.

    I’m trying to figure out how I can discriminate against homosexuals if I don’t know who they are.

    Supposedly, they are just like the rest of us, save for whom they choose to bed, so I shouldn’t know against whom to discriminate unless they tell me who they are, right?

    I suspect feminism classes provide a ‘safe’ space where said individual doesn’t really need to think or take responsibility for anything. I can see the attraction in such a safe bubble where you can step outside of reality.

    In my day the gulf between university education and the reality of life was one of theory versus practice. Unfortunately, these days the gulf appears to be between reality and a make believe dream world. Feminism (in fact all schisms and LGBTQWTF associations of deviance) attempt to take that safe space and make a portable bubble for your life that you can carry with you outside of university. Within this bubble you never have to confront reality; you simply continue to live in your dream world and attempt to manipulate reality to conform to your reality – which, of course, eventually manifests as a mental illness.

    In the happy bubble of this dream world, anything normal, anything real becomes hate which must be attacked and made to conform to your new reality.

    It doesn’t take a genius to realize this just won’t work. Reality is not open to manipulation, only your perception of it is. Unfortunately, though they can’t change reality, they can do a lot of damage along the way, both to other vulnerable people and to the man made institutions that keep us all harmoniously living together.

    I dont necessarily see being gay, or into kink as “perversion”, I just don’t see the need to make one’s sexual proclivities a political issue, or something other’s need to validate. Just do your thing at home with your partner(or partners)and that’s that.

    Brianna Wu won’t tell you unless you get serious with him, so that has probably led to some unpleasant conversations about eunuchs accompanied by arched eyebrows at critical moments of passion.

    When I was a teen-ager I had a friend who hitchhiked a lot. He got picked up and seduced by a woman. They went back to “her” place and my buddies fumbling hands uncovered a big surprise. He was not happy.

  29. Fail Burton
    February 17th, 2015 @ 2:34 pm

    The funny thing about Wu is that he represents the very gender feminism that is split down the middle about whether a man like Wu can be a part of the movement because he’s actually a man. But under gender feminist rules he’s not. Blown up by your own petard is the usual analogy, I believe. That’s how the Vagina Monologues got evicted from its own vagina by men.

    Your description is exactly the difference between conservative kinksters and leftist kinksters. Conservatives are quite happy to only share their kinks with interested parties, whereas leftists have this obscene urge to drag their politics into Every Interest They Have.

  32. IceBerg77
    February 17th, 2015 @ 4:54 pm

    If you and your partner are into that type of thing, and you’re not harming anyone then go for it. Your private life is none of my business. This leftist concept that sexual proclivities are a matter of “rights” is just so absurd. I personally think the majority of homosexuals were happier when they just did their thing, and lived their life as they saw fit as opposed to now where their lifestyle has been so normalized.

    Strictly speaking, “women” cannot be said to exist. – Julia Kristeva

    Woman does not have a sex. – Luce Irigaray

    The deployment of sexuality . . . established this notion of sex. – Michel Foucault

    The category of sex is the political category that founds society as heterosexual. – Monique Wittig

    Those (and the de Beauvoir) are all from the start of Judith Butler’s Gender Trouble. I don’t think they were mis-remembering anything.

    Damn, you actually bought it? I thought I was the only conservative on the planet who had read Butler. By the way, you really need to notice what a crucial linchpin Gayle Rubin is to Butler’s theory, and then do some deep research into Rubin’s work. A genuinely dangerous weirdo, that one.

    It’s not that they intimidate, it’s that they nauseate. And I notice that certain words are used to change the connotation of the legend beneath the picture by sugar coating it.

    For instance, “fierce” should actually be “thuggish”, and “dandy” should be “strutting peacock”. Some of the words, I don’t even know what they mean.
