More From Feminist Tumblr

Posted on | May 28, 2015 | 86 Comments

Autumn is a 24-year-old cisgender queer Muslim, who posted this:

“Hands up if large groups of aggressively loud
white boys in your vicinity freak you out.”

To which spyderqueen (“mental health stuff, feminist rantings”) added:

“One of the things that bonds women, POC, and LGBTQA+ together: The fear of white men in numbers.”

That comment got more than 300,000 likes and reblogs in nine months. This is what feminism is really about: The promotion of completely irrational (but politically useful) fear.

My advice to “white boys” is: Always travel in large groups and be aggressively loud, because it makes feminists freak out.

    funny, I grew up with more boy friends than girls and felt a hell of a lot more secure with a group of them.

    Jesse Jackson disagrees with “Autumn” about who to fear in large groups.

    But you grew up before the BUSH IS HITLER era. Eight years of constantly being told by the media that RICH WHITE REPUBLICAN WARMONGERS ARE DESTROYING THE WORLD inflicted irreversible psychological damage on the millennial generation.

    You’ll have to talk to Louis Farrakhan about them. I’ve complained about the loud parties, bow-tied men in black parking all over the street, cisgender queer drunks urinating on my lawn, and deafening prayer calls, but the cops won’t do a thing.

    “Hands up if large groups of aggressively loud
    white boys in your vicinity freak you out.”

    Hands up if you can even point to a large group of aggressively loud white boys in YOUR vicinity. ‘Cause I know you ain’t hangin’ around outside the hockey stadium after the Stanley Cup. Try to make your transparently lying complaints more believable in the future, huh?

    Here’s one to start you off:

    “Jazz hands up if a Christian mentioning Jesus, or a straight person mentioning Christina Hoff Sommers in your vicinity freaks you out.”

    Because “Hands up if pretending you ever saw large groups of aggressively loud white boys freaks you out” was not pithy enough.

    I’d like to call this a First World Problem but it’s really an Imaginary World Problem.

    The most hated phrase in this ideology of hate is “compared to what?” It is a truism one must always watch feet, not lips. Were she found out, Autumn would have her arms broken and probably be raped in any number of Muslim countries. Stipulating in advance the moral decrepitude of Muslim males would probably mean her murder. Gender feminists hate us in direct relation to how much they refuse to leave our vicinity. They hate the white West but refuse to leave it. The idiot segregationist “diversity officer” in the U.K. named Bahar Mustafa would no sooner move to her ethnic homeland of Turkey than she would Mars. The short version is feminists are liars.

    My answer is please don’t Orientalsplain, womansplain or culturally appropriate my civilization. Then there’s Pfizer.

    And knock before entering.

    Thank you.

    “cisgender queer muslim” so, that’s what, a chick that thinks she’s a chick that digs chicks, and will behead herself if she acts on it?

    Oy flipping vey. I hope she’s a racial minority as well, cause that’s just the trifecta, right there…

    But, but, but if they had said that they were scared by black males in groups, they’d be horrible raaaaacists!

    For men actually convicted of and imprisoned for forcible rape, 52.2% are white, and 43.7% are black. If these women are afraid of large groups of white males, rather than black males, considering that black males are a much smaller percentage of the population, they fear the wrong people.

    You know who else was “freaked out” by “large groups of aggressively loud (American) white boys” in their vicinity?

    The Nazis, the Taliban, the Imperial Japanese Navy, Saddam Hussein, Santa Anna, ….

    Autumn the cis gender queer Muslim should read Camille Paglia article on how Camille likes old school straight men (real men) to the pansy ass creatures at the university she taught at.

    There is hope for Autumn (BTW) since she is posting pictures of bull dog puppies (you can’t be all bad if you like bull dog puppies).

    Dude they’re running off to Syria and Iraq to be with large groups of aggressive muslim males! Conclusion: there’s nothing wrong with a little rape as long as the right people are doing the raping.

    And if you were a cisgender queer Muslim actually living in a Muslim country, you wouldn’t have the guts to so identify yourself . . . unless you really wanted to be hanged.

    Unless you are a celibate cisgender queer Muslim, then you surely must know exactly what Muhammad claimed Allah revealed to him about what to do with queers, and not be a cisgender queer practicing Muslim.

    You know what is an even more illuminating statistic about rape? (Especially considering the fact that Autumn is probably a person of color)

    Compare the number of rapes committed by White men against Black women to the number of rapes by Black men against White women.

    If the numbers were reversed it would be a national crisis.
